petdav30 Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Looking for a free camping spot approx half way between Port Augusta and Coober Pedy. Only required 1 night. We are self sufficient - water and power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neville and Kay Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Good Morning petdav30 I have not been on this stretch but in the Camps Book it is close to half way and has Mobil phone coverage and a Tick, [ Lake Hart Lookout ] it is 42 km. West of Pimba where you can turn off North to Woomera or another 47km. on to Glendambo South Rest Area [ also phone coverage] which is approx. 262 km from Port Augusta. If you do not have a Camps Book with Photos you may find it is worth its weight in Gold as over time the Places we have stayed at which we found in The Camps Book were priceless. Safe and Happy Travels. Neville & Kay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Lake Hart is good but can be busy. If you are happy to push on past Coober Pedy, our favourite spot in that area is 90 kms North of the town on the eastern side of the Highway and behind some piles of gravel. It is at S28 27.972. E131 11.927. Well off the road and peaceful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve and Kez Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Hi Guys, Lake Hart is good, but can be busy at certain times of the year. You may also want to have a look at Wiki Camps We also do use the Camps Book, but find Wiki Camps much better as it has user comments and has a lot more detailed info and pics. You can down load the app to your phone or tablet for a very small amount. It was $2.00 7 years ago so it can't be much more now .............maybe?????? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Slaters Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Currently worth $7.95 but worth its weight in Gold. Found many camp sites and avoided others with this. Sometimes you need to read several comments to get a true feel of any particular site. Also has the ability to update and save off line the sites in different or all states so that you can use it when there is no internet.
