From deluxe multi-bedroom houses to standard cabins, safari tents and powered sites, you can level up or level down at any of their eleven sites in SA, depending on your holiday budget. Wherever you end up resting your head, you can sleep easy knowing that you get to enjoy the same wonderful facilities as everyone else.
There’s no better time to explore what’s right under our noses, and Discovery Parks all over the country are adding more and more memorable experiences to their parks, making them the ultimate travel destination for young families, couples and golden oldies. “We want to create lasting memories for our guests.

The perks of the parks…
GOOLWA
They don’t call the Fleurieu Peninsula ‘SA’s adventure playground’ for nothing! Discovery Parks – Goolwa is the perfect spot to base yourself for the most epic family holiday. You can drive onto the beach, explore the Coorong National Park and see where Storm Boy was filmed, play basketball on their half-court and take a trip to Victor Harbor and back on the famous Cockle Train. But this park is about to get even more speccy, with 23 brand new modern deluxe two-bedroom cabins popping up this summer, all with fully-equipped kitchens and private decks. There will be a stateof-the-art splash park, a resort-style outdoor swimming pool, a jumping pillow, entertainment area and even an interactive nature playground. Guests will also have easy access to the nearby BMX and pump tracks, the Goolwa skatepark and basketball stadium. According to my kids, this is better than Disneyland!
ADELAIDE BEACHFRONT
Right on the foreshore of Semaphore Beach, you can fall asleep to the sound of the ocean and wake up to the smell of a great brekky just a short walk away. Location is everything for this holiday hotspot with maritime, railway and aviation museums, cafés and funky boutiques, all close by. This pet-friendly park ticks all the boxes with a playground, bouncing pillow, activity room and swimming pool.
ROBE
Robe is well worth the road trip! Get adventurous and try four-wheel driving through Little Dip National Park, learn to surf and, of course, beeline to Victoria Street for a spot of shopping.

WHYALLA FORESHORE
