Super! We were there with a rented camper for 2 nights. The access road of several kilometers will leave your camper pretty rattled. But that's it!
Reception was fine. Although the office was closed, a letter with our details and information was waiting for us. A large place, >300m, near amenities. Later in the afternoon, the office annex store reopened. More than friendly employee who asks interestingly what she can do for you. On our 2nd day a trail done through the Flinders Range outback. Fantastic! If we ever go back to this region this campground is definitely one of them

We stayed in our van. One of the amenities block wasn't working. Was very dusty. There were some shade trees which was good.

Had dinner at the restaurant. Was delicious food but small portions.

Would stay somewhere else when we return to Flinders Ranges

Excellent camp ground nestled amongst natural vegetation with the best views overlooking Flinders Rangers. We did two tours and the staff were amazing and were really flexible and great with my son. Georgia our tour guide was outstanding. New titled bathrooms were a nice touch too.

My family and I just stayed here for the fourth time in two years and absolutely loved our stay as always.

Bee at reception was lovely and welcoming and Kate, the General Manager, seemed to be everywhere at the same time to ensure guests were always attended to.

We stayed in one of the Superior Holiday Cabins: spotless, very nicely decorated and with a full kitchen. The views from here are nothing short of amazing. We enjoyed the BBQ area and the pool.

Information on exploring the area is very comprehensive and enabled us to do exciting hikes and beautiful scenic drives.

Thank you to all who made our stay so special, we'll be back for a fifth time and many times after!

My partner and I planned a trip to flinders coming from central Victoria not knowing anything about the area, we booked the bush camp unpowered site and once we arrived we were greeted by the friendly staff who gave us a map which was very easy to follow, they also provided a pamphlet with places to go, tracks to drive and the surrounding towns with pet friendly options. To say that we are absolutely amazed with this place would be a huge understatement.
If you are considering coming to flinders ranges this is the best place 100%
We got takeaway from the Woolshed Restaurant and the food was unbelievable.
We would absolutely recommend this and will be coming back.
Ps. If you are going unpowered go out to the bush camping as it is worth it.

Excellent campsite An absolutely fantastic campsite! Beautiful grounds, a great pool, spotless amenities, and incredibly friendly staff.
The walking and 4WD tours on the private property are a real highlight, and the Woolshed Restaurant is outstanding.
Without a doubt the best campsite we’ve stayed at during our 7-week tour through SA, VIC, and NSW. Highly recommended!

Amazing Excursions We did two tours at Rawnsley Park Station — Sunset on the Chase and Bunyeroo & Brachina Gorges — and both were excellent.

We saw a huge amount of wildlife, including kangaroos, wallabies, and wallaroos, along with a family of emus and several wedge-tailed eagles. Being able to see so much wildlife in its natural setting was a real highlight.

Our guide, Georgia, was great. She was very knowledgeable about the area and shared a lot of context about the landscape, geology, and animals, while keeping the tours relaxed and enjoyable.

The Sunset on the Chase tour was a nice way to end the day. The drinks and canapés at sunset were well done and added a relaxed finish after a full day of exploring.

Overall, both tours were well run and worth doing if you’re visiting the Flinders Ranges

Hi Readers, Spectacular is the first word I uttered when I went to our unpowered site. This station ( facility ) is spread in thousands of acres facing the Flinder ranges. While coming from the Hawker, take the route of Flinder ranges way to enter this property, neatly 25 min of drive from Hawker town centre. Remember, the road of flinders Ranges is the most happening road like lookouts, short or long hiking walk, scenic drives so worth staying here. This property is with powered , unpowered, cabins, bush camping, private accomodations with friendly staff. You will not be disappointed whether you choose bush camping because the alloyed bush camping area with flush toilet facility too; I must say you would definately love unpowered or bush camping area ( $34) in the hilly and rolling mountains of Rawnsley Park station. This station or facility is with communal shower, flush toilets including fuel, general food store ( onsite the office) , car wash, air compressor, dedicated bin arrangements everywhere, swimming pool, drinking water, breakfast -lunch- dinner facility on demand with charges, short and long walking / hiking trails which is within the Rawnsley. Every soot We stayed for 2 nights overlooking view of Flinder ranges, under open starry night sky. A lot of things to do nearby and around the Flinder ranges. You will not be disappointed. If you are short of grocery ( fresh fruit or veg) then you can buy from Wilpena station which is also another park station for travellers. Obviously, grocery prices is higher. We visited the Flinder ranges during summer Break but ideal season is April to September. Hope this information helpful; Thanks.

Great bed, great view but no working coffee machine on site. We had a superior unit which was nicely fitted out. Very comfortable bed and great view. Lots of activities on site, we did the sinset 4WD tour which was fantastic.
Restaurant was a dissapointment. Very limited menu and overpriced. Coffee machine broken and apparantley has been for some time. Had to travel to Wilpena resort for a coffee, as do Rawnsley staff. Not good enough for a 5 star? resort.

Intended to stay 2 days and extended to 4. Very friendly staff, clean and functional amenities. Great location looking at the south east end of the range. Great area to explore. I have met 5 couples travelling through and we have had a few drinks and plenty of laughs. Can't speak mote highly of the place. P.S. Fuel at the staiton is cheaper than Hawker. Bonus.

We bush camped here for 3 days while we explored the area. Rawnsley Park Station was a fabulous location. The views and campsites were spectacular. We have 2 dogs travelling with us and were able to pay for them to be in the kennels while we went to the national park locations. The price for an unpowered site for our caravan was cheaper than some others we have stayed at with 100% more! Would highly recommend when visiting the Flinders Ranges.

I was torn between staying at Rawnsley Park Station and Wilpena Pound Resort Caravan Park, and chose Rawnsley based on the Google reviews. However, after our stay, I honestly wish we’d gone with Wilpena instead.

The customer service was minimal and unwelcoming, which was really disappointing. The camping spots and park directions weren’t clear, and the facilities were not well maintained. The bathroom sinks were smelly and clearly hadn’t been cleaned properly, with stagnant water in the overflow. The showers and toilets also needed more regular cleaning and attention.

The camp kitchen was another letdown, there were no basic supplies such as washing liquid, utensils (not even a butter knife), or any way to light the stoves, which barely worked anyway. Thankfully, we had our own gas cooker. There was only one sink available, which caused a line-up even though it wasn’t a busy time of year.

To top it off, the early morning was anything but peaceful, with loud horrific sheep noises right next to our tent. Not quite the outback tranquillity we’d hoped for.

We thought maybe we were just being fussy, but after chatting with other guests, it seemed many shared the same frustrations. Unfortunately, it just didn’t live up to expectations.

We spent 5 nights in a superior 2 bedroom unit.
Pluses:
The view from our cabin esp at sun rise n sunset were spectacular.
Hot showers
Comfortable bed
Great walking trails
Location to attractions of flinders ranges
Woodshed restaurant
Minuses:
Cabins were basic but clean
Kitchen only suited for simple meals and breakfasts with minimal pots and crockery
Cabins were not serviced. Towels changed every 2nd day only
Convenience store was really inadequate. You have to go to Wilpena pound iga. For fresh bread etc.

Booked the Highlights package to celebrate a special WA. Stayed in an Eco Villa (amazing), did the 8hr 4WD tour, but sadly the 30min flight over the Flinders was cancelled due to a plane issue (full refund provided immediately by reception).
If you want something very special (though not cheap) this is the way to go. However, the park offers every kind of accommodation from free camping sites to cabins, and they are in differest areas so you really do feel the openess of the area.
The whole process from booking, confirmation emails, relevant information on our stay, arrival (reception staff friendly & knowledgeable), to checking out was so professional and smooth.
Our 4WD Tour guide (Rachel) was super friendly and easy going, knowledgeable and you could just tell she loves working there and we were all amazed to see the wildlife and the landscape.
It is close to Wilpena Pound (NP Day Pass $10), Hawker 30mins south, the Gorges (easy 4WD roads), so many lookouts, and Blinman (have to taste the pies at Blinman Hotel) is only an hours drive north, as well as so many walking tracks on the property itself.
So just book a stay, you wont be disappointed.

Fantastic Camp, facilities and location We bush camped here for 3 days while we explored the area. Rawnsley Park Station was a fabulous location. The views and campsites were spectacular. We have 2 dogs travelling with us and were able to pay for them to be in the kennels while we went to the national park locations. The service was great. Everyone was really friendly. The price for an unpowered site for our caravan was cheaper than some others we have stayed at with 100% more! Would highly recommend when visiting the Flinders Ranges

Relaxing and peaceful We stayed recently for our anniversary. Everything you need in the units, very comfortable, great restaurant on site, and lots to see and do in the area. The climb up Rawnsley Bluff was tough but the views are worth it. A great place to stay in the Flinders! Highly recommended!

We camped in the free camping area. So good. Lots of spaces, not on top of each other, and those views. Woow, woow, woow. Yes, the amenities block was busy at times, yes it was dusty, but... just look where you are. The staff in the office (whose names I didn't get) were exceptional, giving us advice on what to see and do, plus helped with a quick trip back to Hawker for a little medical help. Thank you ladies. We will be encouraging everyone we meet to stay at Rswnsley Park.

First visit to Rawnsley Park station. Arrived very late for the first night, so did not see much. The late check in went smoothly and we awoke to a spectacular view from our 2 bedroom superior cabin. Did a 2 day flight with Chinta Air - amazing - and spent another night in a 1 bedroom cabin (3 of us) on our return. We also had booked dinner at the Woolshed restaurant. The staff during the phone bookings, changes to our booking and adding a second night were extremely helpful and I felt confident they had all things under control. The setting is superb and I would love to go back and spend additional time there, exploring the area. We were fortunate to be there after a good rain, so no dust, flies, gorgeous weather and amazing scenery with lush green growth. The cabins were pretty clean (for being in the bush), beds comfortable, nice bathrooms, clean linen, toiletries provided, coffee, tea etc. I certainly hope to return and stay for several days, sometime in the future.

Long awaited stay This was booked after seeing a promotion at a caravan show , was portrayed as a working sheep station?? Led to believe one would see the true working station but no it’s predominately just a tourist park with a few hundred sheep roaming around !! If one wants to see anything authentic you have to pay !!! For it no thanks

We had a meal at there on site establishment ‘woodshed ‘ ok nice but not enough considering the price

Yes the flinders rangers are beautiful

Station a huge disappointment not as portrayed at all

I was over charged but could not be bothered to jump through all the hoops to get that fixed

Don’t recommend

Great place as an entry to the Ranges. Lots of accommodation options. Food is good at the restaurant as well.
The reception staff could be a bit more friendly.
There are lots of activities around and it has some very nice views at sunrise or sunset.

Rawnsley Station add it to your list. Sometimes when travelling to popular destinations you are charged a premium NOT at Rawnsley.
The prices were very reasonable.
The staff very friendly. Amenities were excellent.
Highly recommend staying here as a base camp to explore Flinders Ranges.
Camp fires allowed.
Fuel was only $2.09 for diesel.
Well equipped shop.

Rawnsley stay Great clean facilities with a friendly atmosphere! Easy to get in and out of even in wet conditions. Amazing hiking trails around the station and the woodshed restaurant was the best food in the Flinders!

Rawnsley Park Station cabin The only place close to the Ikara-Flinders Ranges NP that is dog-friendly. The location is beautiful. The 3 bed cabin was large enough for the two of us and our two large dogs to spread out and relax. The cooking facilities are fine. Wifi was slow. Our only real criticism is that it's very expensive. The Woolshed restaurant was very nice, but pretty expensive, so we only went the first night we arrived.

Good amenities - poor welcome Having previously booked an unpowered site on-line, we were taken aback a bit by the attitude at reception 'to try our luck' getting site near (within reasonable walking distance) to the amenities but would have more luck getting a site out towards the western boundary. Also, was not aware that you could run a generator - which our neighbour did for most of one day we were there. Apart from that, the park seemed well run.

No refund! Located in a stony site which our view was three wheelie bins!! I became unwell and called to say we were leaving one night early (8 am) and could we get a refund for the remaining nights this was flatly refused!!

Not nice to be treated so unkindly!

Very quiet place to get away if you’re looking to escape the big cities, good camp kitchen and shop has some goods. Essential you bring firewood from outside the park as you can’t cut it and is quite expensive. The woodshed restaurant amazing food and great service.

We recently spent 11 nights here, 8 on a powered sites, then 3 on a bush camp.
We have been twice before and absolutely love it here. It is so central to everything and the walking tracks are great. Dog friendly which is a big plus. Just such beautiful surroundings. Staff are helpful and amenities are clean.
Thanks for a great stay.

Magical place, best food in the Flinders Ranges Out of the three places we stayed during our Flinders Ranges tour (Wilpena and Arkaroola being the other two), we liked Rawnsley's Park best. We went for a hike just after arriving from Adelaide and loved the quiet beauty of the landscape, the countless kangaroos on the hill just behind the cabins and were treated to a magical sunset which soaked the entire landscape and the Bluff in beautiful, golden light. The food at the Woolshed was the best we had in the Flinders Ranges (bangers and mash so good), and we enjoyed the warm, cosy atmosphere in the restaurant on a cold, rainy night. Our waitress was lovely and provided us with several bottles of drinking water. The best surprise was that they had heated mattress pads in the beds of our room - we really didn't want to leave the bed the next morning! The room was spacious, the shower hot and the kitchen fully equipped. The power went out twice but they fixed it promptly. Our only regret is that we didn't have more time to enjoy this magical place and go hiking more. I'd highly recommend it as a stop in the Flinders Ranges.

We loved our stay. The bush camping was next level Fantastic 😍. The facilities are excellent and a hot shower was most appreciated along with the spacious camp kitchen. We'll be back!

A beautiful stay My parents and sister stayed here for a week this July. We stayed in two of the superior cabins and had a lovely stay. Check in was smooth & the staff are lovely.

Rawnsley Park is remote, and that is definitely part of the attraction. The station itself is huge, and has accommodation ranging from the superior cabins to campsites. It is spacious and welcoming.

On the night we arrived we were treated to a beautiful sunset which seemed to change colours every minute. It was absolutely stunning! Birds, sheep, kangaroos & more visit regularly. The scenery is stunning.

The cabins we stayed in were fairly clean, very cosy and the beds were comfortable. There were a few minor issues, such as a tap that needed to be fixed, which was taken care of quickly.

In my parents’ cabin, there was a QR code where you could locate information regarding the property as well as the Wi-Fi details. This was stuck onto the kitchen wall. However, in my sister and my cabin there was no such information. I would recommend that this information is passed along at reception. More information regarding the site rules would also be useful such as noise restrictions etc. This is relatively minor, but I did notice there were many older guests, and this is information that could be useful such as emergency contact details. I think that it would also be good to have this information as hardcopy, as this would be easier to read.

We did not eat at the Woolshed, however we did get a takeaway. The food was absolutely delicious & the restaurant looked so beautiful. If we had planned things a little bit more, it would have been great to book in and have a dinner there. However, the great thing about being in the cabin was that we were able to cook our own dinner, and this was one of the things that we did want to do.

The station is perfectly placed for sightseeing. Unfortunately, it was a little bit too windy for us to take advantage of the scenic flights, but this is something to do another time! If you are thinking of doing any of the 4WD tours, I really do recommend booking in early as we were too slow!

It is about 30 km to Hawker, where you can get petrol and other supplies. There is a small shop in the caravan park part of Rawnsley is, as well as a petrol station. The small shop wasn’t very well equipped, so perhaps stock up before you get there.

Overall, we had a great time and got to see some amazing sites in the Flinders Ranges. You honestly have to see the place to believe how expensive and stunning it is. I would definitely stay here again!

A Great Getaway in Amazing Natural Beauty We stayed 4 nights in one of the newer 2BRM units and it was superb. Great outback views from the living room and outside deck. Our carport was alongside. It was cold at night so the efficient heating units were welcome. Fully equipped kitchen too. Highlights were the two 4WD tours we reserved when booking the accommodation: our guides were super-friendly and very knowlegable. Shane, who took us on a Sunset Tour (really a private tour for just the 2 of us as it turned out) where we got very close to a wedge-tailed eagle amongst other native fauna, and Rachel who took us on the Two Gorges tour (seeing considerable numbers of yellow-footed wallabies and fab scenery). Just one other guest accompanying us on that one so we had plenty of room on both tours and plenty of time to stop along the way, and check-out & photograph the scenery and/or wildlife. The other highlight was the excellent restaurant at Rawnsley Park Station. They seemed very under-staffed when we arrived at 7pm so we were expecting some service issues but in fact our order was taken reasonably promptly (and we could order pre-dinner drinks direct from the bar) and the food was not too long in following. We shared the lamb platter and it was awesome. Service was friendly and the inside cosy and warm. Have at least one meal there if you can. For lunch we can also recommend the Prairie Hotel in Parachilna (1hr 20 min 125km drive on sealed roads, 1hr 40min 110km via seal+dirt).
The only minor niggle was the badly corrugated dirt access road to the station from the sealed highway so each time we left for the day and returned it was a bone rattling ride! Fortunately the drive to the units is considerably closer than the camping ground 1km beyond them! To be fair we were only in a 2WD hatchback whereas the vast majority of guests have 4WDs usually towing caravans. Anyway the car was none the worst for it and had to handle several corrugated dirt roads on this holiday!

Fabulous location base for the Wilpena hikes. Stayed in eco villas which are fabulous; amenities, breakfast foods excellent, furnishings comfortable... great bath for post hike relax. Near by swimming pool. Dinner dining just to die for.... recommend lamb dishes. Local lamb have eat salt bush YUM, tender. Veg fresh desserts sweet and delish. All Staff AMAZINGLY EXCELLENT Wonderful stay thank you

Great bush camping We stayed a couple of nights in the bush camping area. We loved it. Such amazing views and able to choose our own campsite. Facilities were quite close as well as there being a couple of flushing toilets in the more remote bush campsites. Wonderful peaceful stay. Staff in reception were friendly and very helpful. Definitely coming back again as so much to see we didn’t get to this trip.

Fantastic location, rooms, services and staff. Cannot be happier with our stay here. We booked a cabin for 3 nights and the rooms are clean, everything works, showers are hot and the kitchen has enough stuff to make your meals. The restaurant on site is fantastic. Make sure you plan for some meals there.
The location is handy for all that you need to do and the sunsets are gorgeous.

Rawnsley Park cabins We stayed in a one bedroom superior cabin for three nights. Great accommodation just outside the national park. Quiet and comfortable. There's a pool onsite, as well as laundry facilities. The kitchen was set up for self catering, but stock up in Port Augusta where there is more choice than the general store (located at the caravan park) or the small IGA (at Wilpena and Hawker). The only restaurant within coo-ee is The Woolshed Restaurant, which has good meals, and also takeaway pizza. Overall I thought this accommodation was great for the price and semi-remote location. The Flinders Ranges are stunning, so well worth a visit.

Home In The Flinders Ranges The cabins are clean and neat and have all that is required . The internet worked and it was ideally located to explore the Flinders Ranges , the key factor in achieving a ragting of four. There were on-site BBQ's that worked well, a good swimming pool and a pictresque location. Overall a good place to stay in the Flinders Ranges

Wonderful place with amazing views
The checkin information could have been explained better. But a top notch place. So many kangaroos , emus , birds ( galahs and ring neck parrots). Highly recommend. The pool is beautiful too with an amazing views of 330 million years old rockfalls. Super unique.

A lovely spot off the beaten track, very nice chalet stocked with a generous welcome pack.
Covered car port (the Kangaroos like to use).
Good bed and shower, decking out front with stunning views.
Room sevice and restocked on second day.
Swimming pool on site, and a restaurant.
Only down side is some staff don't observe the speed limit on site, otherwise top notch stay.

We booked a bush camping spot for 3 nights. Were able to mover every night around the 5 acres and were nowhere near anyone. But still near a clean flushing toilet. If I could rate more than 5 stars I would. (Side note, to the person who drank the bore water here and got sick despite all the signs saying ‘don’t drink the water’, you are the reason there is warning labels on bleach).

Come to Rawnsley Park Station for the scenery and station amenities, they’re exceptional. We had emus walk right near the outdoor pool, which was very neat. Our 3 bedroom cabin was spacious for group of 7 (we had an accessible unit) but quite outdated and it had quite a bit of ants traveling through it. The cabin could definitely use some TLC and updating as I believe it was built in the early 1990s and looks the part.

The pool was right in front of our cabin which was convenient and had a beautiful view of Rawnsley Bluff. The Woolshed Restaurant offers both dine in and takeaway and I had the latter - chicken parm, which was delicious.

We stayed in a cabin on the campsite and it was great. The cabins are well equipped and the campsite shop is well stocked.
We also went on a 4x4 tour and our guide Rachel was amazing, it was a lot of fun and made our stay in Flinders even better!

Great campground in the Flinders Ranges Great location with amazing views and lots of wildlife. Great restaurant nearby, peaceful surroundings. would highly recommend the campground if you are coming to the Flinders ranges. Good facilities, even has a pool to cool down in the hotter weather.

Great spot The park is perfectly located with wonderful views. Amenities were as you would expect of a semi remote location. Clean and usable. Nice fireplaces and they supply wood for a fair price. A few basic items in the shop and the pool was nice.
Was our second stay and we would stay here again for sure.

Beautiful Flinders Ranges Had a great time. Went on a flight over the Flinders which was unbelievable and Pilot was down to earth and friendly. Travelled to Blinman and went to the mine. Went to Wilpena Pound and had some indigenous education. Enjoyed this.
Also went to Parachilna and had a wonderful meal of camel.
And hawker to Jeff Morgan Gallery
All were wonderful and glad I was able to do it all in 2 days. As rotten weather came and we decided to take off home 4 days early.
We stayed at Rawnsly Park Station great place
But highly recommend going to the Flinders Ranges at least one time.

Rawnsley Park is a wonderful place to stay in The Flinders Ranges. We stayed at the Caravan Park on recommendation from friends who travel a lot, and we weren't disappointed.
It was terrific! Clean, quiet park with a great amenities block. Basic supplies available at reception to save going into Hawker for bits and pieces.
The ground was hard so having hex pegs for our tent was a good idea, especially as it was windy.
We really enjoyed the option of eating out at the Wool Shed Restaurant too. Delicious.

There are great walk options right in Rawnsley Park. Magnificent views. Loved it!

Unique part of Australia We stayed in a 2 bedroom holiday unit for 4 nights. This was enough time to explore the park and do walks and a full day 4WD tour which was a highlight of the trip which I would highly recommend. I also did a flyover of Wilpena Pound with Chinta air which was fabulous and leaves from Rawnsley station.
The unit was very comfortable and had everything we needed to cook our own meals and a decent sized fridge to store supplies that we bought in Jamestown which has a good sized Foodland. Barbecues were very handy just outside and spotlessly clean. We ate at the Woolshed restaurant 1 night and were rather disappointed with it (see separate review).
We loved having emus outside especially at dusk and views of Rawnsley Bluff were quite spectacular. We also enjoyed the walks around Rawnsley station of which there are several but you need to have a fly net as flies were really bad. It was also extremely windy weather for first 3 days and my flight had to be rescheduled. The reception staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Jules our 4WD drive guide was excellent.
Wilpena Pound was approx 20 minute drive away on sealed road but is much more bushy so we were glad we had chosen Rawnsley to stay at. We did one of the walks there as well but quite different terrain. There was a terrific art exhibition currently on at Wilpena of local artists which we loved.

Not my favourite We are Seniors, so this needs to be considered when reading this review.
Large caravan park, hilly, but sites have been levelled. The advertised photos show the park empty and it was full when we were there, so very close proximity to others.
The entrance from the road is unsealed and rough. It is advertised as a working sheep farm, which means the sheep arrive bleating very early morning, which I enjoyed; however, this is definitely a caravan park first, absolutely no sheep farm ambience. Beautiful views from the non-powered area. There was a problem with the septic system while we were there, which wasn't addressed over the weekend, making it rather smelly for 48 hours. It was fixed on the Monday. We were encouraged to go to the Woolshed Restaurant, which we presumed was onsite; however, it is over 2km away on a dirt road with no lighting (bit dangerous to walk) and there is no shuttle bus, so needed a designated driver, which was disappointing. Restaurant was fabulous.
If I was to return to Flinders Ranges, given the fact that we are Seniors, I would stay at Wilpena Pound where the whole park is level, the sites appear larger, there is a large IGA and the road entry is sealed.

Caravan Park + Family vibes at Ikara Flinders Rangers More a caravan park, than a ‘bush retreat’.

Amenities such as showers and cooking facilities were there, as stated, and as clean as it can be with a lot of families and kids around.

Pool is small, and very much for children, as are all the public spaces.

Expect to listen to layers of other guests music into the night, and caravan and amenity lights shining around your campfire, rather than quiet and a focus on nature and dark sky’s. (A passive-aggressive tuning lights on-off occurred with some recreation bbq area lights surrounding a few campsites with different campers wanting different things).

People at the reception weren’t particularly friendly; but we found the staff at Wilpena Pound really helpful for ideas on hikes and adventures, and the volunteers ant Wilpena Pound are amazing and we followed their advice!

A great place to take the whole family + a school trip if that’s what you want.

Unfortunately not what we were looking for and very hard to find information this is what it would be like.

Suggest the Woolshed to escape for some adult time, if need be.

The best way to experience the Flinders Ranges This location has it all - stunning scenery that is ever changing with the light, bush campsites nestled below the spectacular Ridge that are private but still connected to amenities and the opportunity to do as much or as little as wanted in peaceful natural surroundings.
We can't wait to get back to Rawnsley !

Stunning scenery, good rates, friendly staff and dog friendly. Beautiful property. Absolutely stunning scenery and wildlife and had the sheep wander through camp. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Very reasonable prices. Little shop with all you might need. Many options for staying, from cabins to a huge area for bush camping. And it's dog friendly. 💜

Rawnsley Station stay We stayed in the caravan area on an unpowered site in the bush camping
Plenty of space out here and the sheep roamed right up close to us Toilets just up the hill & have to travel back to the main area for a shower & to use the laundry These facilities are well maintained & very clean. All the staff are very friendly

A visit too brief We flew to Rawnsley Park Station as part of an air tour adventure and only stayed long enough to have lunch there. Enough time was allowed for a quick walk around the facilities, enough time for us to decide to visit and stay here while exploring the area.
The only downside was the cold, strong wind which made life uncomfortable.

We were looking forward to our stay at Rawnsley Park but we’re really quite disappointed. We booked for 4 nights but left after 3. Amenities were cleaned once while we were there, but generally are in a terrible state - the bottom of hand drier is like a Petri dish that must never have been wiped clean. Felt like we were imposing when we checked in. Also had a random dog wandering the park for 2 of the days we were there. Generally disappointing, pretty poor value for money and just feels like there’s a lack of care.

Beautiful location The powered site are generous and the outlook from the site was just beautiful. Excellent facilities and you could purchase firewood to enjoy a fire at night. It is a great base to visit the Flinders Ranges and visit Wilpena pound at a reasonable price

Great location and accommodation Accommodation
- Fantastic for price we got C1 Villa. Was basic but during the day you are exploring anyway
- Fire Pit outside (firewood available at Rawnsley and it’s cheaper than at the servo at hawker, so may as well support them for providing the service
- Amenities were good and laundry facilities (especially when you are in the middle of nowhere)

The Park
- Firstly starlink wifi is amazing all over the Park and also there is Telstra and Optus reception (better than Wilpina
- lots of amazing walks to go on (most are long though (over 2hrs)
- Alison Saddle <30mins for sunrise or sunset amazing views of the station and ranges
- Pugilist Hill for sunset (4wd needed)
- 4WD track across the road for self drive (ask for a map)

The Food
- book into Woolshed at least once for dinner recommend the Lamb Platter $108
- Woolsheld does take away if you pre order and also BBQ packs for 2 people for $85 (lamb plus salads and rolls

Love this area! We stayed in an eco lodge, which was very comfortable indeed. With great views over the ranges, the lodge had everything you needed. We booked the wallabies, copper tour and were told on arrival that it was cancelled due to the rain the day before. However the tour was adapted for us so we could still experience the area. Instead of exploring the gorges due to road closures, we did a lovely 3.5 km walk to some Aboriginal rock painting. The bush was relaxing and there were some great views as we headed up. The copper mine was well worth a visit. Thanks to Alan & Sean for making the tour interesting and fun! We will be back to experience the gorges in dry weather for sure. Would recommend the Woolshed restaurant for a nice night of good food & wine. Great place to visit & explore the area. Thankyou!

Rawnsley Park Unpowered Site Just spent 5 days at Rawnsley Park Station on an unpowered site & it was exceptional. The site we had was huge, flat & had spectacular views of the southern side of Wilpena Pound. We were there during SA school holidays & there was still plenty of room & not cramped at all.
We found all the staff friendly & accommodating, the facilities are excellent, even able to pressure clean the 4wd & remove the red mud which was great given we were heading back into civilisation.
We would recommend this as the best place to base yourself when coming to explore the Central Flinders Ranges.
We will definitely be coming back here for a future stay.

A great campground in the Flinders Ramges! Rawnsley Park Station Campground was a superb camp ground with amazing facilities, fire pits showers and toilets Great access to Wilpena pound and other trails and hikes will definitely stay here again! So close to everything in the Flinders Ranges that you want to see!

Thank you Rawnsley Park Station for opening up your property. We had 3 nights in the bush camping area and could have easily stayed more! As a solo hiker, I really appreciated the well signed hikes on the property. Flushing toilets were a bonus in the bush camping area!!

All you need for family holiday in stunning location Simple cabin accomodation in the caravan park was perfect - very basic & 70's decor, but for the price - clean, warm, with all you need to enjoy an affordable family holiday in the most beautiful environment - well signed local walks, fire pit, fantastic 4WD tour of the Gorges (only the 2 of us guests!) covering geography, wildlife, human history, paleontology!!). Little shop at reception very well stocked with food/wine/wood . all you might need.
