Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
Best in South Australia: Finalist
Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.
Nomadic camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Located on 25 acres of beautiful bushland, a chestnut tree grove and paddocks with stunning views you will find our magical retreat. There are 4 sites to choose from, all peaceful spots with an abundance of natural wildlife plus a family of deer who often visit. We are just 15 minutes drive from Mount Lofty where you can enjoy some of the many trails available and see cascading waterfalls, scenic gorges and lush fern gullies brimming with bush birds and wildflowers. There are a number of great wineries in the area all with excellent wines and local produce you can enjoy. We also have several gin distilleries. We are a short walk to Wotton's Scrub (Kenneth Stirling Conservation Park) and close to Hahndorf, Oakbank and Stirling. Campers must be self contained with their own camping toilet and water and take all rubbish with them on departure. Pets are welcome but must be kept on a leash.Located on 25 acres of beautiful bushland, a chestnut tree grove and paddocks with stunning views you will find our magical retreat.

Adelaide Hills - Magical Retreat
Magical Retreat?
Magical Retreat? I’ll let you decide. The four attached photos are the ‘views’ you get from the centre of the camp area - didn’t match the website photos at all and we felt we’d been misled. Not exactly safe either as we had to pitch our tent directly under large trees and conditions were very windy - I was just waiting for a branch to land on us or our vehicle. We’d booked for four nights, but only lasted one night.

Host was very friendly has given instructions on her farm. Would recommend this place to anyone. Quiet, lovely views. Farm offered a fireplace we couldn't use as for the wind. But was very lovely will come back here and would highly recommend to others. Thanks again deb for hosting us.

We have visited Deborah's land a couple of times now and we always enjoy camping there. Very serene, and a great way to connect with nature. Can't wait to head back for another relaxing weekend! A good variety of spots accessible by car or caravan, if you have a more sporty car there are spots down a slope that are also very nice.
