Rawnsley Park Station

What a spectacular location. The eco villa we stayed in was modem and comfortable with an amazing view. We did some walks and cycling around and we also did their heli camping experience. Matt our pilot really made that for us. Blows your mind to be dropped off on the side of a cliff with your swag set up and your food and wine for the evening delivered for you. Campfire created a perfect ambience. Food comes from the woodshed restaurant - main cheese board and a little cake for dessert. Also included two bottles of wine. The sunset and sunrise we experienced was unforgettable. The swags are there permanently and you are given sleeping bag liners. We would have preferred fresh sleeping bags and pillows though. They seemed a little too lived in. The toilet on-site was horrific. Needs work definitely. Also the area around camp could do with some attention. A lot of loose rocks which were problematic after dark. The service at the reception could be better. They didn’t have a lot of knowledge about the available cycling trails or the heli camping experience. Overall though Rawnsley park station is a world class experience.

We had a good time but sadly the only thing to spoil our time was the near enough CONSTANT yelping/barking of the puppies they were trying to sell, it spoilt our and many other campers evening sitting around the fires just hearing that constantly and waking up to it too early in the morning. If we come back I'll be checking they haven't got puppies. I can only imagine if that noise was coming from one of the camp sites

A fantastic experience all round. Everyone should visit this unique part of Australia and staying at Rawnsley Park is a great base to see it from. Very friendly, helpful, clean and such an amazing view right in front of you! So well worth it.

Wow wow wow what a place this is. A must stay destination. Ran so well, has all that you need - fuel, shop, drinks, bread, along with 4 wheel driving and bush walks. Camp on power or go bush so many stunning places to pitch a tent or plant your van.Staff and happy so helpful and all with smiling faces.

Beautiful spot in the Flinders Ranges. Great bush walks and scenic drives. Woodshed restaurant well worth a visit.The caravan park itself was a disappointment and requires a good overhaul.Fire risk with dry grass in and around sites.

I have been going to Rawnsley Park for many years now, and this was the first time I've been disappointed with my visit. We booked a cabin, and on first arrival, i noticed that the cabins had been relocated. There was a huge lineup of people trying to book in. Turns out the park was overbooked, and there were people absolutely everywhere. The cabins that once looked out at the Wilpena Pound had been moved to another area where the benefits were area was more secluded but no view.When dealing with staff and getting key to the cabin. They were fantastic. i can not speak more highly of the two working under pressure and still managed to be so accomdating and friendly.The new cabin location some bright spark decided to put the firepit about 3 metres from the cabin door entrance so have a guess which direction the smoke decided to travel in...yup even with minimal opening and closing of the cabin door everything smelt soo badly of smoke.The biggest disappointment is the fact that the Woolshed Restaurant located on the property no longer serves their famous lamb pizza. Given that it's a sheep station, it was a part of the experience eating meat from the property and let me tell you something it was no word of a lie the greatest pizza i have ever eaten and would easily drive from Adelaide yearly just for the pizza. My partner was disappointed as it was all i kept going on about. Spoke to numerous people around the park who agreed, saying the pizza needs to be put back on the menu regardless of who the current chef is. What made things worse was that the pizza was smaller and was not cooked. The base wasn't cooked at all yet edges burnt. We dont take things back, so 2 minute noodles it was for dinner.We ended up having campers right behind us because they had overbooked and had random people walking along our front steps of our cabin because it was in the was of a walking trail.The cabin we stayed in leaked on the kitchen bench due to rain or plumbing came through wall and it was where my phone and keys were sitting so they sat in a heap of water all night i only realised when i woke the next morning.This is a lengthy review because Rawnsley Park station was my favourite place in the world, and i wanted my partner to experience that same feeling i get going to this station. It didn't happen!

We stayed in the RV park. It is well laid out and the bathrooms are good.But, part of the men's toilets were blocked and had been for some time. Happy hour at the restaurant was only outside with 38 - 40C days. The restaurant itself was too hot for comfort. Staff allocated a upstairs table to a disabled person! And, the antique cooling unit in the common room was totally inadequate and looks like it's never been serviced.These things detractedand indicate a lack of understanding for customer needs.It's a pity because the potential is there with only just a little more attention.

We camped in the non powered sites in the bush camp. You could park anywhere and lots of room so not next to anyone. Showers were great. Laundry was handy but only one dryer as others out of order. Would stay again

One of the best places we've stayed in Australia.! Absolutely breathtaking views and the serenity has to be felt... Definitely will be back 100%...
