Wattle Point (CG)

View enormous windmills.

Yorke Peninsula Council has designated 19 different sites on the Peninsula as bush campgrounds. Campsites are found in secluded bush and mallee areas overlooking the ocean. Most have a stunning long white sandy beach within walking distance of your camp. Access to campgrounds is via gravel roads, accessible by conventional vehicles with care.

Wattle Point is home to a wind farm where you’ll find enormous windmills. During high tides, the shallow beach is ideal for fishing as well as swimming.

It is BYO water and firewood, and gas or fuel stoves are preferred. There is some shade available, but no facilities. This site is suitable for all vehicles.

A permit is needed for each vehicle staying at these campgrounds. The permit is transferable between all 19 sites, allowing you to move around the Peninsula and experience spectacular coastlines and magnificent beaches.
