Mallee Campground - SA

The Red Banks Conservation Park is 10km from Burra and offers a day use area, walking tracks and free camping in the tranquil Mallee Campground. Please note this is a small camp­ground that can not be reserved in advance.

The spacious camping area is mostly flat on red dirt and some are shaded by trees. Please be aware that campfires are not permitted and dogs are not allowed. There is a clean, drop toilet at the campground. There is cur­rent­ly no water sup­ply avail­able at the vis­i­tor area or at the camp­ground, so please bring your own. Creeks and water­holes should not be relied upon for safe drink­ing water.

Mobile phone cov­er­age can be patchy and unre­li­able in this park, espe­cial­ly if you are in low-lying areas.

To access the red coloured cliff walls, walk or drive to the day use area where you can enjoy a 5km loop walk. If walking from the camp, the "Landscapes of Change" loop track will take approximately 1.5hrs on well marked tracks. Try to time your visit for a sunset walk to enjoy the most vibrant colours bouncing off the rock walls. Take a headlight for the return walk in the dark.
