We checked in to this Campground at the Mount Remarkable NP today in the tourist information in Port Pirie, that's easier then online when you are on a holiday, we found! When we arrived we realized that we were the only people here! It's called bush camping, there is drink water, toilets and showers but nobody like a caretaker. Out site # 19 was easy to find and great because it is shady all day! The facilities were spotless and we parked our camper and did a little hike along the dry creek. We immediately spotted kangaroos and rock wallabies also tons of birds like galahs, magpies and wrens. On our walk we also saw a large snake. The park has lot of information plaques about the area, the trees and the wildlife and is generally well maintained. We payed $18 for our campsite and $10 park entrance fee. There are several BBQ s around but fires were illegal because of high fire danger. In the evening as we sat outside our van a big goanna visited us ( a huge lizard that only exists in Ozzie) before he climbed a tree like nothing! Big as a freaking dragon, I swear! The camping and park has to be booked in advance there is noway to do it right here. It's really beautiful and quiet. read more

Great place, awesome wildlife just a pity about the over zealous security guard person that even payrols on jer day off. The camp ground was totally empty as temp where in 40ies but she made a scene about us parking our car in the shade outside our designated spot. Totally put a dampner on our stay! read more
