Campervan hire in South Australia
Book a campervan or motorhome through us in South Australia and you'll pick up in Adelaide.
From Adelaide, the Barossa is about an hour and a quarter's drive and Cape Jervis for the Kangaroo Island ferry is about two hours. Allow about six and a half hours to the Flinders Ranges. These are campervan times, without stops.

Where you pick up
The branches you can book through us are all in metropolitan Adelaide. They're at Parafield Gardens in the north, North Plympton near the airport, Bowden, Mile End South and Torrensville in the inner west, and Flagstaff Hill in the south.
Each brand's branch and opening hours are on our Adelaide campervan page, with its cheapest dates and rental rules.
Picking up outside Adelaide
None of the branches we can book is in a regional town: not in Port Augusta, Port Lincoln, Mount Gambier, Coober Pedy or on Kangaroo Island. Every trip starts in Adelaide, or in another state if you drive in one way (see longer trips).
What's in a price
- Excess
The rate includes basic cover. You still have an excess, the amount you're responsible for paying under that cover, which can run to several thousand dollars. Reducing the excess costs extra per day.
- Bond
The rental company also takes a bond, a security deposit, on your card when you pick up. Depending on the brand, it's held on your card or charged and refunded after the hire.
- Fees
You pay any one-way fee to the rental company.
Your quote shows how the total is split between payment stages. The bond is separate from the rental price.
More on how campervan insurance works.
Before you book: what differs between brands
Minimum age, P plates, pets, unsealed roads, Kangaroo Island and one-way fees all differ by brand. Our Adelaide campervan page compares the brands with Adelaide branches rule by rule, and how booking works explains the steps.
Which van for South Australia
- Heat
Summer days in the outback are hot. Heading north between November and March? Check the van has air conditioning in the living area, not just the cab (heating and cooling).
- Cold nights
Winter nights inland are cold, so heating is worth having from May to September.
- 2WD or 4WD
A 2WD van suits the sealed highways, the coast and the Barossa; the outback tracks need a 4WD camper and the rental company's permission (see can your van go there?).
Compare your vehicle options
Compare berths, seatbelts, bathrooms and transmission across every company's vans.
Where to go in South Australia
Six regions, from about an hour and a quarter to a long day's drive from Adelaide. We book vans, not campsites, so you book parks directly; it helps to give them your van's length.
Campervan times, without stops.
Barossa and Clare valleys
- About 1¼–2½ hours from Adelaide
- Suggested: 2–4 nights
Cellar doors, bakeries and quiet back roads, all sealed. The Barossa is close enough for a first night; the Clare Valley is about two and a half hours north and quieter. Day trips into the Barossa and the Adelaide Hills are on our Adelaide page.
Fleurieu Peninsula and Kangaroo Island
- About 1¾–3½ hours from Adelaide
- Suggested: 3–5 nights
Visit McLaren Vale, Victor Harbor and the south coast, then take the ferry from Cape Jervis to Kangaroo Island for its wildlife and Flinders Chase. Not every brand lets its vans on the ferry, so check first (Kangaroo Island rules).
Limestone Coast and the Coorong
- About 5–6½ hours from Adelaide
- Suggested: 3–5 nights
Along the coast road from Melbourne, you can visit the Coorong's lagoons and Robe's beaches. There are also Coonawarra's cellar doors and Mount Gambier's Blue Lake and sinkholes. This region suits a one-way trip too.
Yorke and Eyre peninsulas
- About 3½–9½ hours from Adelaide
- Suggested: 5–10 nights
Beaches, fishing towns and national parks. The Yorke Peninsula is about three and a half hours away; Port Lincoln, at the foot of the Eyre Peninsula, is about nine and a half, so it's a trip of a week or more. Some park roads are unsealed, so check what your van is allowed on.
Flinders Ranges and the outback
- About 6½ hours from Adelaide
- Suggested: 4–7 nights
You can visit Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park, Wilpena Pound and the gorges, then head north to Coober Pedy on the sealed Stuart Highway. The road into Wilpena Pound is sealed, but many park roads aren't (Flinders Ranges roads).
The Riverland and the Murray
- About 3½ hours from Adelaide
- Suggested: 2–4 nights
River towns, red cliffs and riverside camps around Renmark, Berri and Morgan. The Riverland is a fruit-fly pest-free area, so leave fresh fruit behind (fruit fly rules).
Long weekends and school holidays
- Three days from Adelaide
The Barossa and Clare, the Fleurieu and McLaren Vale, or the Riverland.
- A week or more
Kangaroo Island, the Limestone Coast, the Yorke and Eyre peninsulas and the Flinders Ranges.
Booking your park
In the South Australian school holidays and on long weekends, it's a good idea to book your park, and the Kangaroo Island ferry, when you book the van.
Can your campervan go there?
Here's what the brands with Adelaide branches allow. We've used their rental terms, plus their websites where they give more detail. Each brand's full rules are on our Adelaide campervan page.
Nullarbor (Eyre Highway) and Stuart Highway
- Sealed
Both are sealed all the way, so any van can drive them, if your brand allows the one-way trip to Perth or Darwin (see longer trips).
Kangaroo Island (SeaLink ferry from Cape Jervis)
Kangaroo Island (SeaLink ferry from Cape Jervis)
- Allowed
Let's Go lists Kangaroo Island among the islands its vans may visit. JUCY and Star RV allow it on their help hub, on sealed roads and campground access roads only; their terms don't mention the island.
- Permission first
For an Apollo, Britz, Maui, Maui Elite, Mighty or Mighty Lite van, you need permission from On-Road Assist at pick-up, and you keep to sealed roads on the island.
- Notice and a form
Awesome Campers needs advance notice and an insurer's form before you go.
- Ask first
Spaceships' terms don't mention islands or ferries, so ask before you book the ferry.
- Not allowed
Campervan Village doesn't allow Kangaroo Island. Its area-of-use map is part of its terms and marks the island "Totally Prohibited".
Cover on the ferry
Ferry permission and damage cover are separate. Apollo, Britz, Maui and Mighty exclude damage during the crossing and while loading or unloading.
- The crossing
SeaLink's ferry runs between Cape Jervis and Penneshaw and takes about 45 minutes. Fares go by vehicle length, and the driver pays a passenger fare too (SeaLink fares).
- Bigger vans
SeaLink asks you to phone 13 13 01 to book a campervan or motorhome over 5 metres long or 2.3 metres high. Its fares page takes other vehicles up to 5.9 metres online. Length includes bike racks and tow bars.
- Booking before you have the van
Online, you can tick "This is a hire car" and give SeaLink the make and model once you've picked up.
Oodnadatta, Birdsville and Strzelecki tracks
Oodnadatta, Birdsville and Strzelecki tracks
- 2WD vans
Not allowed. Every brand with an Adelaide branch limits its 2WD vans to sealed roads, plus at most short access roads to campgrounds or attractions.
- 4WD campers
Only with permission. Apollo, Britz and Mighty list all three tracks as needing permission for their 4WDs, and strongly advise hiring a satellite phone.
You can pick up an Apollo, Britz or Mighty 4WD camper in Adelaide. Campervan Village's map marks the Oodnadatta and Birdsville tracks as 4WD-only, with its written permission first; the Strzelecki is outside its permitted area.
- Closures
Tracks close after rain and flooding, sometimes for weeks. Check the outback road warnings before you set off, and again on the way.
For the Simpson Desert, or Witjira National Park east of Dalhousie Springs, you need a Desert Parks Pass, which covers vehicle entry and camping in the desert parks for 12 months.
Flinders Ranges park roads
Flinders Ranges park roads
- Sealed
The main road through Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park and into Wilpena Pound is sealed (National Parks and Wildlife Service SA).
- Unsealed
Many other roads through the park are unsealed, and their surfaces change with the weather. The park says they suit high-clearance 2WD vehicles.
Your rental company's rule still applies. Most allow only short access roads to campgrounds or attractions, with limits from about 300 metres to 12 km. In a 2WD van, the sealed road takes you to Wilpena Pound and its walks. For the gravel park roads, an Apollo, Britz or Mighty 4WD camper from Adelaide can go with the rental company's permission.
More on road restrictions for 2WD and 4WD vans.
Driving in South Australia
The rules that apply anywhere in the state. For the roads out of the city, see our Adelaide campervan page.
Fire danger
- Fire Danger Season
Fire restrictions apply through the Fire Danger Season, which runs from about October or November to April and differs by district. For 2026–27 most districts start on 15 October or 1 November (CFS season dates).
- Total Fire Ban days
On Total Fire Ban days, don't light a campfire. In national parks, all fires and most barbecues, including gas barbecues, are banned (National Parks and Wildlife Service SA).
Check Total Fire Bans and ratings for each district you'll drive through, every day.
Gas and electric cookers
On a Total Fire Ban day, a gas or electric cooker is allowed only within 15 metres of a house or business, or on a coastal foreshore. Keep 4 metres clear around it, stay with it and have an extinguisher at hand (what CFS allows). The campground or park must permit it too.
Fruit fly and quarantine
- Entering South Australia
The fresh fruit and vegetables you can bring into South Australia depend on the state you've come from. Restrictions help keep fruit fly out. Check PIRSA's travel rules for the list that applies to your trip.
- Quarantine stations
Stations are on the Eyre Highway at Ceduna (from Western Australia), the Sturt Highway at Yamba, the Mallee Highway near Pinnaroo and the Barrier Highway at Oodla Wirra. There are random roadblocks too. Eat restricted produce or put it in a quarantine bin before you get there: Yamba has no bins, and you can be fined.
- The Riverland
The Riverland has its own restrictions: you can't take in restricted produce bought elsewhere in South Australia, even from a supermarket.
- Going west
Western Australia has its own checkpoint on the Eyre Highway at the border, where you declare what you're carrying (what you can bring into WA).
Going to Kangaroo Island? Don't take honey or other bee products, or unwashed potatoes.
Outback heat and long distances
- Fuel
Towns and roadhouses can be a few hundred kilometres apart on the Stuart and Eyre highways, so fill up when you can (fuel planning for remote areas).
- Wildlife and stock
Kangaroos, emus and stock wander onto outback roads, especially at dawn, dusk and night, so plan to arrive before dark (wildlife on the road).
- Water
Carry plenty of drinking water, and in summer drive in the cooler part of the day.
On the road
- Speed limits
Unless a sign says otherwise, the limit is 50 km/h in built-up areas and 100 km/h outside them. Some highways are signed 110 km/h, but learner and provisional drivers mustn't go over 100. In a school zone, slow to 25 km/h whenever a child is present (the SA driver's handbook).
Camping and overnight stays in South Australia
We book vans, not campsites. You can book holiday parks and campgrounds directly, or find them with an app (finding a campsite).
Where you can sleep
Before you sleep in your campervan, check that overnight stays are allowed at that spot: council by-laws, parking signs and the land manager's rules all count.
In Holdfast Bay council's area (Glenelg and Brighton), for example, staying overnight in a motorhome counts as camping. Its 2019 by-law doesn't allow camping or sleeping overnight on council land outside designated areas (By-law 3, checked October 2026).
A holiday park or a designated campground is the simplest option.
National parks
National parks
You must book national park campsites online before you arrive. Many parks also charge a vehicle entry fee, which most campground bookings include; Flinders Chase on Kangaroo Island charges it separately (booking questions).
Most national parks don't allow dogs, although some welcome dogs on a lead (pets in parks).
Travelling with a pet? Apollo, Britz, Mighty, Mighty Lite, JUCY and Star RV take pets for a fee, and our Adelaide page has each brand's rules. See travelling with pets.
Campgrounds to try
Campgrounds to try
Our top campgrounds in South Australia include spots on Kangaroo Island, in the Barossa and on the Fleurieu.

Winter is the outback's best season for walking, with cold nights; the coast is cool and quiet.

Busy periods and booking ahead
These are the busiest times:
- The South Australian school holidays
- Christmas and January
- Easter, when the Oakbank races run in the Adelaide Hills
- AFL Gather Round in April
- Long weekends
Booking ahead
Some vans sell out at these times, so our team recommends booking:
- six to eight months ahead for Christmas, New Year and other summer trips
- at least five to six months ahead for Easter and other school holidays
For Gather Round, we recommend booking as soon as the dates are announced.
You can still book closer to your trip, but fewer vans and dates will be left.
Our guides cover booking during school holidays and booking early or late.
For the cheapest weeks to pick up, see the price chart on our Adelaide campervan page. More on the best time to visit South Australia.

Longer trips from South Australia
One way
One-way trips from Adelaide go east to Melbourne, west across the Nullarbor to Perth and north to Darwin. Driving in one way from another state? The rules on this page apply to you too.
One-way fees and the minimum number of days you need to hire for differ by brand. Apollo, Britz, Maui and Mighty need at least 14 days to Perth or Darwin and 7 to Melbourne. Let's Go charges $249 to Perth or Darwin. Spaceships charges no one-way fee to Perth, though its $200 remote location fee may apply. Our Adelaide campervan page lists them for each brand.
Relocations
Flexible on dates? Relocations move vans between cities for a few dollars a day, within short, fixed time limits.
Routes across the border
- Adelaide to Perth
About 2,600 km across the Nullarbor on the Eyre Highway. Allow two weeks to enjoy it. You'll pass a quarantine check entering Western Australia, and another at Ceduna coming the other way (fruit fly rules). See our Perth to Adelaide itinerary and our Perth campervan page.
- Adelaide to Darwin
About 3,000 km up the Stuart Highway through Coober Pedy and Alice Springs. Apollo, Britz, Maui and Mighty's Darwin branch closes from December to March, so book their one-ways there for April to November. See our Adelaide to Darwin itinerary, and our Alice Springs and Darwin pages if you're hiring at the other end.
- Melbourne to Adelaide
About 730 km on the direct route, or longer by the Great Ocean Road and the Limestone Coast. See our Melbourne to Adelaide itinerary and Melbourne campervan page.

Where can I pick up a campervan in South Australia?
Where can I pick up a campervan in South Australia?
In Adelaide. The branches you can book through us are all in metropolitan Adelaide: Parafield Gardens, North Plympton, Bowden, Mile End South, Torrensville and Flagstaff Hill. None is in a regional town. You can compare them on our Adelaide campervan page.
Can I take a hire campervan to Kangaroo Island?
Can I take a hire campervan to Kangaroo Island?
With most brands, but check first. Apollo, Britz, Maui, Mighty and their sister brands need permission at pick-up, and their vans keep to sealed roads on the island. Awesome Campers needs notice and an insurer's form.
Let's Go allows it, and so do JUCY's and Star RV's help pages (their terms are silent). Campervan Village doesn't allow it. Spaceships' terms don't say, so ask first.
Apollo, Britz, Maui and Mighty exclude damage during the ferry crossing and while loading or unloading, and for other brands our reservations team advises you to assume damage on a ferry isn't covered. See Kangaroo Island rules.
Can I drive a campervan on the Oodnadatta Track?
Can I drive a campervan on the Oodnadatta Track?
Not in a 2WD hire van. The Oodnadatta, Birdsville and Strzelecki tracks are unsealed.
Only a 4WD camper with the rental company's permission can go, and not every brand allows every track. You can pick up an Apollo, Britz or Mighty 4WD camper in Adelaide; they need permission for all three tracks. Campervan Village's 4WDs need its written permission for the Oodnadatta and Birdsville tracks, and the Strzelecki is outside its permitted area. Check the road reports before you set off. See outback tracks.
Where are the campervan hot spots for the school holidays in South Australia?
Where are the campervan hot spots for the school holidays in South Australia?
On the coast: the Yorke and Eyre peninsulas, the Fleurieu Peninsula, Kangaroo Island and the Limestone Coast. Inland: the Barossa and the Flinders Ranges. For a short break, the Barossa and the Fleurieu are close to Adelaide.
Book parks, and the Kangaroo Island ferry, ahead for the school holidays. See where to go.
Can I bring fruit into South Australia?
Can I bring fruit into South Australia?
It depends on where you've come from. South Australia restricts fresh fruit and some vegetables from other states to keep fruit fly out. Eat restricted produce or put it in a quarantine bin before you reach the stations at Ceduna, Yamba, Pinnaroo and Oodla Wirra. Yamba has no bins.
The Riverland also bans restricted produce bought elsewhere in South Australia. See fruit fly and quarantine.
Can I sleep in my campervan anywhere in South Australia?
Can I sleep in my campervan anywhere in South Australia?
No. Councils set their own rules on sleeping in vehicles, so check the signs and the council's rules before you stay in a car park or roadside bay. A holiday park or a campground is the simplest option, and national park campsites need booking. See camping and overnight stays.
