Port Elliot caravan park, South Australia: Camping and cabin rates
The Port Elliot caravan park on Encounter Bay in South Australia is cheap, and has good facilities for children. Powered sites cost from $32 a night.
The Fleurieu Peninsula and Encounter Bay in South Australia are popular holiday regions. They’re a short drive from Adelaide, and have fabulous beaches. It’s no surprise that caravan parks have set up to cater to the demand.
There are two Normanville caravan parks to choose from in Normanville, on the Peninsula’s east coast. And the Goolwa caravan park offers a cheap option in Goolwa, the gateway to the Coorong.
But another spot worth considering is Port Elliot, on the Cockle Train route from Goolwa to Victor Harbor. Port Elliot is a quieter beach town, although some people will take considerable detours to tuck into pies and doughnuts from the Port Elliot Bakery.
