    Coodlie Camp offers a genuine bush camping experience that many visitors find peaceful and spacious, with plenty of room to explore and unwind. Guests appreciate the unique facilities like bucket showers and a large camp kitchen, though some noted areas needing improvement like the cleanliness of restrooms and the condition of shower buckets. The hosts are generally seen as welcoming and helpful, adding to the positive atmosphere, although a few visitors experienced communication issues. Overall, the camp's proximity to Venus Bay and Talia Beach makes it an ideal base for exploring the Eyre Peninsula.

    We spent two nights in Coodlie and enjoyed it. Flat sights, camp kitchen rustic and clean, great bbq, bucket showers fun but workable, drop toilets clean, and as we had the camp to ourselves it was very quiet and peaceful. Only downside was zero communication response from the hosts when we messaged. It would have helped us a bit.

    What a brilliant campsite, such a great vibe and perfectly situated for day trips. The showers are surprisingly awesome, and the host's we very kind and accommodating. Would also be a great place to go as a group. So many spaces and different options to set up your base camp. Can't wait to come back and do some more exploration of the EP.

    We loved our stay at Coodlie Camp! I was set up in a 19ft caravan, while my mate set up in a swag hut. Plenty of space for both, with an allowance to be solely contained, or mingle with other campers. Easy access to Venus Bay and Talia Beach, bith just 10 mins away, is brillaint all around. Highly recommend for any Eyre Peninsula goers, looking for a space to set up canp either short or long term.
