Looking for your next South Australian camping escape? These award-winning caravan parks are a great place to start. From seaside stays on the Yorke Peninsula to peaceful country parks and regional road trip stops, each one offers a welcoming base for exploring South Australia your way.
The SA Parks Awards were recently announced and celebrated at the SA Parks 50th Anniversary Conference in July 2026. Rather than being based on submissions, the awards are determined through ReviewPro data, which looks at online reviews from more than 140 platforms and considers review quality, consistency, improvement over time and overall guest satisfaction.
For travellers, that means these parks have stood out through real guest feedback from people who have stayed, relaxed, explored and made holiday memories themselves. Whether you’re planning a family holiday, a relaxing weekend close to nature or a getaway somewhere new, these recognised South Australian parks are well worth adding to your next getaway list.
