Discovery Resorts - Wilpena Pound sits on the edge of the Flinders Ranges, just outside the small town of Hawker. The resort offers a mix of cabins and powered sites for caravans and tents, so you’re not stuck with just the basics. It’s a good spot if you want to explore Wilpena Pound without camping in the national park itself, which doesn’t allow powered sites.

The cabins are straightforward, nothing fancy but solid enough for a night or two. Powered sites have decent space, though you might want to book early during peak season – this place fills up with people chasing the hiking and scenery. Facilities include a camp kitchen and laundry, which helps if you’re staying longer.

Keep in mind it’s about a 20-minute drive into the national park itself, so plan accordingly for early starts if you want to hit the trails before the heat sets in. No need to call the park directly for bookings – Total Parks handles that for you.
