The best time to visit South Australia; campervan edition

The great thing about exploring South Australia is that all year round, there is something to see and do. That makes it an ideal destination to tour or stay with your campervan, campervan or caravan hire at any time of the year.

Summer is the perfect time to cool off with a swim at Dalhousie Spring or enjoy a picnic lunch in one of South Australia's many parks. You can also explore one of SA’s 18 wine regions, including the Barossa, Clare Valley, Coonawarra, Adelaide Hills and more.

Spring is a beautiful time of year to visit South Australia. The days are getting longer and the weather is starting to warm up, making it perfect for exploring the great outdoors. Visit Belair National Park to see wildflowers in bloom, go for a bushwalk in the Coorong National Park, or take a scenic drive along the Westall Way Loop.

In the autumn months, the leaves start to change colour and there is a lovely crispness in the air. Head to the Arkaroola International Dark Sky Sanctuary to learn about stargazing, explore the heritage buildings at Wallaroo, or go for a hike at the River Torrens Linear Trail. 

And finally, winter is an excellent time to visit South Australia's museums and art galleries, such as the Art Gallery of South Australia. Or if you're feeling active, go ice skating at The Ice ArenA.
