Accommodation

Andamooka Caravan & Camping Ground

Location: Corner of Water Road & Opal Creek Blvd.
Contact: ATMC Office, 08 8672 7246
The ground is within walking distance to the town hub and at just $3 per person per night, visitors have access to a range of facilities in this unspoilt spot which is surrounded by native vegetation. Relax under a canopy of stars and enjoy the winter warmth of an open fire-pit. The facility offers fresh water, waste pump-out, and an ablution block with hot showers, plus an undercover camp-kitchen/BBQ facility. For families there is a large undercover playground and skate park. Payment is by ‘honour system’ with cash lodged in a collection xxx adjacent to the BBQ kitchen.

Hint: If you plan on undertaking a quick trip perhaps to Coober Pedy via the Borefield Road, or maybe to William Creek, did you know that you can leave your caravan overnight at the Caravan & Camping Ground for just $3 per night and save the extra time and cost of taking it with you. This can be a good option after rains or if the road is a bit rough.
