RV TRAVEL
It ’ s no secret South Australia overflows with stunning destinations , and the Flinders Ranges in the state ’ s north would certainly be in this class . While there are many ways visitors can experience the region ’ s offerings , we ’ d say it ’ s hard to go past one of the many local pastoral stations that open their doors to visitors .
Station Stays SA is a collaboration of nearly 30 outback , Flinders and Gawler ranges stations , and they ’ ve all opened their doors to tourism alongside their pastoral interests . So there are lots of places and experiences to choose from . Station offerings do vary , but generally include an array of experiences .
Accommodation can be anything from million-star bush camping through to luxury glamping , and there ’ s activities like 4WD tracks , stargazing , walking and cycling trails , plus more . But when spectacular natural attractions , bird and wildlife , tasty food options plus plenty of pastoral and railway history get thrown into the mix , you could easily say station stays have a bit of everything .

For us RV folk , they ’ re well suited to those travelling with a caravan , motorhome , camper trailer , or just the family vehicle . What more could you ask for ?
Choosing to visit three stations in the central Flinders Ranges for our recent trip , they were all located along the Outback Highway ( B83 ) less than 60km from the quaint town of Hawker . And the three had something in common as well , as they ’ re all located to the west of the stunning Elder Range . For that reason alone , we knew we were in for a treat . Once hitting the road after leaving Hawker , we arrived at our first station stay in under 20 minutes .
