Events
Check out these dates and times for upcoming events, including remote webinars, face-to-face talks and presentations.
Our seasonal campgrounds are located on some of our remote to very remote reserves and offer a chance to immerse yourself in these protected landscapes, with access to designated self‑guided drives and walks that highlight key features of the reserves.
Visitor numbers are limited, and facilities are minimal; true bush camping. Campers must be fully self‑sufficient with all supplies, equipment, and safety gear.
Bookings are essential and are best made in advance to secure one of our limited sites.
Online registrations are available two months before the camping season opens. In exceptional circumstances, the camping season dates may be changed or closed due to unexpected safety issues or conservation needs.
Camping seasons may differ between reserves but are scheduled with visitor safety in mind and to avoid disruptions to key conservation work.
Boolcoomatta Reserve (SA)
Currently closed
Boolcoomatta is about 100 km west of Broken Hill and 470 km north east of Adelaide, in the South Australian arid rangelands. The camp ground is a small, simple bush camp located about 4 km from the homestead. It's predominantly open country with some Casuarina trees dotted throughout the landscape.
There are a number of self-guided drives around the reserve and we recommend a minimum stay of two nights. Booking ahead is essential as camping spaces are limited.

Carnarvon Station is currently closed for camping. This is due to fuel shortages and the impact this has had on public roads to Carnarvon and our need to focus our resources on essential conservation work. If you’d like to be notified if camping re opens in 2026, please complete the Carnarvon waitlist form.
