Willow Springs Station Campground – Hawker (CG)

Flinders Ranges adventure with 360° of natural beauty

Willow Springs Station is a typical sheep station of approx 70,000 acres or 283sq km that offers visitors true bush hospitality and quiet secluded settings. The picturesque setting neighbours the Flinders Ranges National Park and is central to all popular features and destinations in the region.

A limited number of private camping sites are available on Willow Springs Station. They are situated within 2 km of the homestead with an Amenities block for client use near the homestead. The bush camping sites come complete with a fire ring and BBQ plate.

Ablution amenities and a camp kitchen are available near the homestead, but each site has a long drop toilet. Willow Springs discourages the collection of wood and has bags of wood for sale.

HOW TO GET THERE
The turn-off to Willow Springs Road is 14.1km north of the Wilpena Pound turn-off on the Flinders Ranges Way.  Alternatively, the turn-off is 42.3km South of Blinman. It is a further 3km off the Flinders Ranges Way to the Homestead.
Visitors coming from the south travel on an excellent sealed highway that reaches as far as the increasingly popular tourist destination – the heritage township of Blinman.
The last three kilometres into the homestead is a narrow, winding track, and visitors are asked to drive slowly.
