Best all-around: Finalist
Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
Coober Pedy Views is located on the fringe of Coober Pedy and offers a unique outback camping experience for guests who are more adventurous and prefer privacy and a secure location. New Driveway is completed....
In 2019 I was sitting in my Alfresco Area feeling that the beauty offered in front of my property should be shared to people I thought might appreciate a different aspect to Coober. Since that time I have probably had 600+ guests enjoy what Coober Pedy Views has to offer.
Whilst it remains a rustic type setting, with campers needing to be SELF SUFFICIENT (NO PUBLIC AMMENITIES AVAILABLE) I can offer Power (subject to availability) to 6/8 sites.
Digging anywhere on the property is forbidden, there are no Opals on CPVs evident when the 3 large garages were dug. Digging softens the ground making it dangerous for avalanches on the embankments and walls especially after rain that creates washouts as you can see on the front embankments and the ugliness makes me sad to see. Our Public Noodling Area is the only place in Coober safe to dig freely.
Bookings can be made via Hipcamp.com and more information via WikiCamp.com
Upon arrival, the site did not align with our expectations. Based on the photos and descriptions provided at the time of booking, we were under the impression that we had reserved a unique underground camping experience. However, we were instead placed in an outdoor setup with full exposure to the sun, and temperatures reached 40°C. Due to these conditions, we chose to make alternative arrangements. I would recommend confirming the details with the host beforehand to avoid any potential disappointment, as we unfortunately experienced.
Karen is a lovely and welcoming host. Absolutely loved her camp spot, the views were to die for and the peace and experience of Coober Pedy is one I will be recommending to everyone. I would highly recommend.
