Parham Camping Ground

Still here (after 3 nights) that is how good it is. Suits our idea of camping down to a tee. Very unusual. Have met some lovely locals in nearby Dublin.

Great place. Open, quiet, clean. The perfect escape to clear your mind, avoid the rat race or just to refresh your batteries along your journey. First time visiting and loved it!!

Parham Camping ground is a fantastic free camp to stay the night or the whole 14 days allowed in the camp. There are quite a fee Camping spots available, great for any kind of vehicle. There is a BBQ grill under the gazebo with a seating area and table where you can find the free permit to fill out for your free stay. You are allowed 14 days maximum however after 7 days you have to move to a new spot. There is a small fridge used as a book share library. There are bins located near the BBQ grill area and guidelines of your stay. There are new toilets being built at the far right had side of the camp. The present 2 portable toilets are great, they are well stocked with toilet paper and looked after well. Although at times it may run out of water, faucets are available all throughout the camp where you can get water. Remember to bring a small bucket. The ground is flat, loose gravel. Pets allowed, quiet and safe nights. The camp is right next to the famous shallow crabbing beach. You can walk a good 5-10 minutes during low tide and reach the crabbing areas, make sure to bring a bucket, a rake, net and be sun safe. There is a.ssmall playground about 5-10 min walk to the left of the camp towards the little town. Most days you will see the famous Jinker vehicle that collects crabs at sea when low tide. Great camp, thank you Parham!

Amazing for free. New toilet block and cold shower is great. A couple of hooks on the shower would be good but other than that a great facility. Also there is an undercover BBQ area with tables and two gas BBQs and a book exchange. Drinking water taps, bins and a dump point. All for no cost. Absolutely brilliant. Flies are ever present. Beautiful sunset.

Free. By the beach, cold shower(no hot shower yet) 3 unisex toilets, 1 shower, great view of sunrise and sunset . No electricity, no drinking water I can see, there’s a bbq area.

Since the site is free and there are few long term residents already, but challenging to get a space. There are bins around. You need a permit but there are no forms available so we wrote ona piece of paper our details.

Great spot on the coast where you can sit all day and watch the extreme tides go in and out... Or wander out at low tide and check out the small pools. No shade really, but the breeze off the water keeps you cool.

Androssan is about 5 km away and has all the shops you could need. There's also a free RV camp with bins and a dump point (but we couldn't find drinking water).

We really enjoyed our stay here. I'm surprised it was relatively empty a week before Christmas.

What a beautiful campground ,room for tents, caravans have a choice $15 night with water, $20 night with power and water ,good amenities with hot shower $2 for 4 mins , the best $2 I’ve spent , camp kitchen, dump point, the beach just over the sand hill, ideal for kids shallow water, would recommend without a doubt, book and pay online before taking a spot , very easy , good internet access, absolutely no fires

Stunning sunset, great place to camp! Can get a little busy during holidays. Clean restrooms. Good for tents, no grass areas though. You're 10m away from the sea. Don't expect sand beach. Lovely community, has a local sports bar, with food options. Kids playground nearby (200m). Notice board with local info. Don't forget to self register (fill in paper that's found near the notice board)

What an Awesome Camp Ground. We have been staying here 2 weeks and just love it. $15 per night is cheap with nice clean toilets and coin operated hot shower. Very clean camp kitchen with power. Plenty of Rubbish Bins provided and fresh water at every site.
This is a credit to the wonderful volunteers who keep this place clean, I just wish some of the free loaders in their flash 4 wheel drives and huge vans did the same.
If you want a quick clean stop over please pay the fee to help keep this wonderful place stay open.
Thankyou Port Parham

One of my favourite free camp in South Australia. Beautiful sunset. Two weeks limit to camp. We went there on October and it was my first time fishing crab. It very easy to catch the crab when low tide. Don’t forget to bring your crab rake and measurer if you coming here.

Small but cosy camping park good kitchen facilities and very clean and well kept abulation. Booking was easy online and great value for money... We'll be back soon.

Quite and peaceful and a beautiful location, right next to the beach. Clean amenities.

Great for nomads / campers, tide goes out a fair way. Toilet and showers available.

Awesome free camp spot! Incl. BBQ, toilets, fresh water and some shady spots.

Fantastic place. Thanks to the loins club and their volunteers

Excellent camp area. Toilets, Dump Pt, Water. Great community. Max 14 day stay in 21 days.

Nice tidy and clean campground a good sptover campsite

Nice place I like it. Great for a night or two, the view are stunning😍😍

Pulled up here in our RV on a Friday night for a stopover on the way to Yorkes. Free campsite for 72 hrs you just have to fill a form out that is there but thats no problem. Toilets and shower are there to which is amazing. Great little spot

Fantastic free spot for an overnight stop or up to 14 days. It's a gravel surface but its secure and safe for campers with toilets, a cold shower, rubbish bins and drinking water!

As far as I can tell this place is all council funded. These places are getting hard to come by so my partner and I made sure to spend money local to support such great places like this!
Too many places now saying no camping which is very sad....eg Goolwa
Thank you Parham and its Council!
