Wallaroo Mines Historical Area Dispersed Camping

Dispersed Camping

This dispersed camping area sits among the ruins of the historic Wallaroo copper mines, offering expansive views across the northern Flinders Ranges. Multiple camping spots are scattered across the low ridges, each providing natural wind breaks and privacy. The area sees regular use by 4WD tourers but rarely feels crowded due to its size.

Access is via a well-maintained gravel road from Copley, suitable for most high-clearance vehicles. No facilities whatsoever, so come self-sufficient. Fire restrictions apply during summer months. Watch for mine shafts when exploring the ruins on foot.
