Rawnsley Park Station

Very relaxing stay, great meal at the restaurant and multiple rounds of delicious desserts!!

Its a gem

Had a great time. Went on a flight over the Flinders which was unbelievable and Pilot was down to earth and friendly. Travelled to Blinman and went to the mine. Went to Wilpena Pound and had some indigenous education. Enjoyed this. Also went to Parachilna and had a wonderful meal of camel. And hawker to Jeff Morgan Gallery All were wonderful and glad I was able to do it all in 2 days. As rotten weather came and we decided to take off home 4 days early. We stayed at Rawnsly Park Station great place But highly recommend going to the Flinders Ranges at least one time.

More a caravan park, than a ‘bush retreat’. Amenities such as showers and cooking facilities were there, as stated, and as clean as it can be with a lot of families and kids around. Pool is small, and very much for children, as are all the public spaces. Expect to listen to layers of other guests music into the night, and caravan and amenity lights shining around your campfire, rather than quiet and a focus on nature and dark sky’s. (A passive-aggressive tuning lights on-off occurred with some recreation bbq area lights surrounding a few campsites with different campers wanting different things). People at the reception weren’t particularly friendly; but we found the staff at Wilpena Pound really helpful for ideas on hikes and adventures, and the volunteers ant Wilpena Pound are amazing and we followed their advice! A great place to take the whole family + a school trip if that’s what you want. Unfortunately not what we were looking for and very hard to find information this is what it would be like. Suggest the Woolshed to escape for some adult time, if need be.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom holiday unit for 4 nights. This was enough time to explore the park and do walks and a full day 4WD tour which was a highlight of the trip which I would highly recommend. I also did a flyover of Wilpena Pound with Chinta air which was fabulous and leaves from Rawnsley station. The unit was very comfortable and had everything we needed to cook our own meals and a decent sized fridge to store supplies that we bought in Jamestown which has a good sized Foodland. Barbecues were very handy just outside and spotlessly clean. We ate at the Woolshed restaurant 1 night and were rather disappointed with it (see separate review). We loved having emus outside especially at dusk and views of Rawnsley Bluff were quite spectacular. We also enjoyed the walks around Rawnsley station of which there are several but you need to have a fly net as flies were really bad. It was also extremely windy weather for first 3 days and my flight had to be rescheduled. The reception staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Jules our 4WD drive guide was excellent. Wilpena Pound was approx 20 minute drive away on sealed road but is much more bushy so we were glad we had chosen Rawnsley to stay at. We did one of the walks there as well but quite different terrain. There was a terrific art exhibition currently on at Wilpena of local artists which we loved.

We stayed at the Caravan Park on recommendation from friends who travel a lot, and we weren't disappointed. It was terrific! Clean, quiet park with a great amenities block. Basic supplies available at reception to save going into Hawker for bits and pieces. The ground was hard so having hex pegs for our tent was a good idea, especially as it was windy. We really enjoyed the option of eating out at the Wool Shed Restaurant too. Delicious. There are great walk options right in Rawnsley Park. Magnificent views. Loved it!

We flew to Rawnsley Park Station as part of an air tour adventure and only stayed long enough to have lunch there. Enough time was allowed for a quick walk around the facilities, enough time for us to decide to visit and stay here while exploring the area. The only downside was the cold, strong wind which made life uncomfortable.

Beautiful property. Absolutely stunning scenery and wildlife and had the sheep wander through camp. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Very reasonable prices. Little shop with all you might need. Many options for staying, from cabins to a huge area for bush camping. And it's dog friendly. 💜

This location has it all - stunning scenery that is ever changing with the light, bush campsites nestled below the spectacular Ridge that are private but still connected to amenities and the opportunity to do as much or as little as wanted in peaceful natural surroundings. We can't wait to get back to Rawnsley !
