BAROOTA BUSH CAMP – SA

Warning – this is a true blue bush camp with no bells or whistles here. But great for an overnight stop.

Driving along the Augusta Hwy/Princes Hwy you will find this bush camp about 7kms North of the Port Germein turn off. It’s well signposted from the Highway and it’s about a kilometer along a gravel road to the check-in point just follow the signs. Yep there is a check point 😁.You need to stop and literally check in and pay your money – this is done by honesty and your arrival may be under video surveillance. The owner does do a check each day so you will get caught if you don’t pay up. Once done just follow the arrows to find a suitable site.

The camp ground is on 20 acres of land and set up for tents, camper trailers, caravans and mobile homes. There is plenty of room but do yourself a favour and walk 🤔🚶‍♂️ around to find your camping spot for the night. Some of the trees are quite low, so take note. We were told not to park too close to the house because of the generator. But then others had generators too and they didn’t bother us.

🐶🐴Pets are welcome even horses that are welcome to stay in the yards.

❎We noticed a few dish washing areas throughout the camp area with signs saying “Caution non-pottable water, so do not drink”.

🔥Lots of fire pits too and firewood is available to purchase.

🍽Rugged camp kitchen with BBQ

🚿Hot showers and toilets in a large shed which are very clean.

📱TV/Telstra reception

❎No power

❎No rubbish bins – take your rubbish with you.

❎No dump point

💲$10 per person per night for Adults (children under 16 free)

💲$5 per person per night for pensioners.

🥚🥛You can also buy ice, milk and eggs.

We were lucky it wasn’t too windy as everything at the moment is so dry and the dust storms have been incredible. Not sure but it may be a bit muddy in the wet.
