The best destinations to visit with your motorhome hire in Adelaide  

Perhaps one of the most important decisions in a road trip holiday is where to stay with a motorhome. South Australia has so much to offer, and here are some must-visit destinations to help you get the most out of your van holiday. With your Adelaide campervan hire sorted, here are some places to consider. 

Barossa Valley 

The Barossa Valley is a world-renowned wine region for Shiraz. All year round, there are cellar door tasting and winery tours. We recommend parking your caravan and taking an electric bike tour through the vineyards for a picturesque day out. Many of the wineries and tour companies partner with local producers to pair gourmet treats with the wine. 

Limestone Coast

The Limestone Coast is a region of dazzling natural beauty. Turquoise waters, prehistoric caves, and cenotes await in this coastal paradise. It has the added benefit of being close to the Adelaide Hills wine region, and it is the starting point of the famous Southern Ocean Road Drive

Eyre Peninsula 

The Eyre Peninsula produces 65% of Australia’s seafood. Visit one of the region’s numerous seafood restaurants for freshly caught seafood. The region is particularly well-known for oysters, scallops, prawns, tuna, and green-lipped abalone. In addition to seafood, the area is great for whale watching, and swimming with sharks, sea lions, or dolphins. The Instagram-famous Pink Lakes are also a popular Eyre Peninsula destination. 

Flinders Ranges 

The Flinders Ranges are a popular destination for hiking and enjoying stunning geological landscapes. It is a bucket list destination for many hikers due to the gorgeous red scenery, which leads to truly magnificent sunsets. Just make sure to bring a torch and jumper for the cool and very dark nights there. Visit the Wadlata Outback to learn about the region’s history and see fossils, opals, and minerals that were unearthed here. If hiking is not your style, there are helicopter tours that allow you to see the famous mountain range from the air. 

Coober Pedy 

Coober Pedy is a famous red desert town where it gets so hot in summer that most of the city is built underground in “dugouts.” Houses, hotels, and even shops are all subterranean in this quirky mining town. Coober Pedy is also home to working opal mines; until recently, it was the world’s largest opal producer. It is a must-visit destination, but avoid the sweltering summer heat if you can.
