Southend Tourist Park

Southend Tourist Park and Bushcamp sits on the edge of the Coorong National Park in South Australia's southeast. It's a straightforward caravan and camping spot with powered and unpowered sites, plus some cabins if you’re not keen on tents or vans. The park is basic but tidy, and it’s popular with anglers and birdwatchers heading to the Coorong.

The facilities cover the essentials – toilets, showers, a camp kitchen – but don't expect anything flash. The location is quiet outside peak times, though summer can bring crowds and flies. Bookings are by request, so it’s worth sorting ahead through the park's website or Total Parks to lock in your spot.
