Accommodation & Wild Camps on our Lake Eyre Tour

 

Ever since we started operations way back in 1989, we have specialised in Wild Camping. On this tour we have a mixture of Wild Camping and accommodation.

If you prefer we can access accommodation on all nights of the tour, and are happy to quote this for you based on what is available, however we recommend giving the Wild Camping a go, even if you have never camped. It’s an exhilarating experience and we know how to do it safely and comfortably.

Our most common feedback from all the tours we run is that the highlights often include the Wild Camping Experience, especially if the stars are out and the Milky Way is on show.

You may only go to Lake Eyre and Outback SA once, so you might as well do it properly!

The Standard Lake Eyre Tour includes;

• Night 1: Wild Camp in the Flinders Ranges
• Night 1: Wild Camp in the Flinders Ranges
• Night 1: Wild Camp on Station Country Near Lake Eyre
• Night 4: Hotel Accommodation at the iconic William Creek Hotel

As discussed, some or all of the Wild camps can be upgraded to Hotel accommodation, please get in contact if this is what you prefer.

Lake Eyre Flights

We work together with Wrights Air at William Creek and include a 2 hour flight of Lake Eyre as part of the tour

You can read more about this flight here: https://www.wrightsair.com.au/our-flights/william-creek-flights/2-hour-lake-eyre-flight/

Lake Eyre Flight Upgrade

It is possible to upgrade your Lake Eyre flight to a private charter which takes you from William Creek, over Lake Eyre and the Flinders Ranges and lands at Wilpena in the Flinders Ranges. The cost of this depends on the size of your group, so we’ll need to quote it each time, however it normally adds about $500 per person to the total cost.

One of the advantages of this route is that you cut down on the driving required & avoid driving over the same territory twice.

Day 2 – The Flinders Ranges to Lake Eyre

Today we start with another walk and then leave the ranges behind, as we drive out onto the plains with mountains in the rear view mirror and stunning plains in front of us, it’s not hard to imagine the giant Lake Eyre, the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere, just the horizon.

Well it’s a bit further than that so to keep up our strength we’ll stop in at the Prairie Hotel at Parachilna, another outback gem, for a yummy pub lunch (lunch at cost)

From Brachina Gorge we pass Parachilna & Copley (Coffee and Quandong Pies) on our northerly trek to Marree, the start of the Oodnadatta Track, by now the bitumen road has turned to dirt, the fences on the sides of the road have disappeared, so have the power lines and phone towers and most other signs of civilisation, it’s a very refreshing feeling.

We push along the Oodnadatta track to our exclussive Wild Camp right on the edge of Lake Eyre, this spot is very special and will allow us to fully appreciate tis amazing wilderness location. This will be your favourite camp!

• Meals:BLD
• Accommodation: Wild Camp On the Edge of Lake Eyre
