Lake Gilles Conservation Reserve

Lake Gilles Conservation Reserve, located in South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula, is a remote and tranquil natural area centred around the expansive saline Lake Gilles. The reserve is a haven for wildlife, particularly birdlife, making it a popular spot for birdwatchers, nature enthusiasts, and photographers.

Camping within the reserve is basic and unpowered, suitable for self-contained caravans, camper trailers, and tents. Facilities are minimal, typically limited to open camping areas and fire-safe zones, so visitors need to bring water, food, and all necessary supplies.

It’s an ideal destination for travellers seeking solitude, scenic outback landscapes, and an authentic bush camping experience in a quiet and protected environment.
