Waterfront Caravan Camping at the Eastern Gateway to the Nullarbor
If you’re looking for somewhere comfortable to stay before or after crossing the Nullarbor, Ceduna Foreshore Caravan Park is one of the best-positioned caravan parks in town. Located at 25 Poynton Street, Ceduna, the park occupies a superb position beside the foreshore overlooking Murat Bay, while still being within easy reach of Ceduna’s shops, restaurants and other traveller services. Accommodation ranges from powered caravan and camping sites to waterfront sites and self-contained cabins and villas. Large caravans are welcome, and the park provides the sort of facilities that are particularly appreciated after several days of remote travelling. With a heated swimming pool, modern amenities, camp kitchen, BBQs, free Wi-Fi, dump point and excellent facilities for anglers, it’s equally suitable for a quick overnight stop or a longer stay exploring South Australia’s Far West Coast.
Ceduna Foreshore Caravan Park caters particularly well for caravanners, campervan travellers and motorhomes. Standard powered sites are set among pleasant and shady surrounds, with different site sizes available to accommodate a wide range of vehicles. The park also specifically welcomes large caravans and touring rigs, with spacious concrete slabs available. All powered-site guests have access to the park’s amenities, laundry, camp kitchen, BBQ facilities, swimming pool and other communal facilities.
For something a little more special, consider booking one of the powered waterfront sites. These put you close to Ceduna’s attractive foreshore and make the most of the park’s coastal location. If you’re planning to stay for several nights rather than simply stopping overnight, the relatively small additional cost of a waterfront site may be worthwhile.

You don’t need to be travelling with a caravan to stay at Ceduna Foreshore Caravan Park.
The park also offers several cabin and villa options, including:
These are particularly useful for travellers wanting a proper bed and private bathroom after several days on the road.
The park has a well-equipped camp kitchen and cooking area for guests. Free electric BBQ facilities are also available, making it easy to prepare dinner without setting up your own outdoor kitchen. For anglers, the cooking facilities are complemented by dedicated equipment for preparing freshly caught seafood.
Ceduna is renowned for fishing, and the caravan park has clearly embraced that reputation.
Fishing-related facilities include:
King George whiting, snapper and blue swimmer crabs are among the species associated with fishing around Ceduna.
One of the standout facilities is the park’s heated swimming pool. After several long driving days across the Nullarbor, having somewhere to cool off or relax can make a significant difference. There is also a children’s playground nearby, making the park a particularly convenient option for families.
The park’s location is one of its biggest advantages. Guests have convenient access to the Ceduna foreshore and beaches, while the park itself enjoys views across Murat Bay. This gives Ceduna Foreshore Caravan Park a completely different feel from the remote roadside rest areas you’ll encounter farther west.
Yes – pet-friendly sites are available.
Travellers with dogs should advise the park when making a reservation so staff can confirm the appropriate site and any current conditions that apply. Keep pets under control and follow the park’s rules during your stay.
Guests receive complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the park. This is particularly useful for Nullarbor travellers because mobile coverage becomes increasingly patchy as you head farther west. Ceduna is a good place to download offline maps, check road conditions, confirm bookings and catch up on messages before continuing your journey.
A dump point is available for caravan and motorhome travellers. If you’re heading west, Ceduna is a sensible place to empty waste tanks and prepare your rig before travelling into more remote country.
Ceduna is generally regarded as the eastern gateway to the Nullarbor, making the caravan park an excellent preparation stop.
Before leaving Ceduna, consider:
Rather than treating Ceduna as a one-night stop, consider allowing enough time to explore the town and surrounding coastline.
Popular activities include:
If you’re travelling during winter or spring, Ceduna is also a convenient staging point for one of the great experiences of a Nullarbor road trip – southern right whale watching. The Head of Bight and Fowlers Bay are well known for whale watching during the annual migration season. If whale watching is part of your itinerary, consider spending a couple of nights in Ceduna before continuing west.
Bookings are recommended. Ceduna is an important overnight stop for travellers crossing the Nullarbor, so caravan parks can become busy during peak touring periods. Advance booking is particularly sensible if you want a waterfront powered site, are travelling with a large caravan or require pet-friendly accommodation. Bookings can be made directly with Ceduna Foreshore Caravan Park.
Ceduna Foreshore Caravan Park is a very different experience from the free rest areas and basic bush camps found farther along the Nullarbor. Here you can enjoy hot showers, a heated pool, camp kitchen, free Wi-Fi, powered sites and a waterfront location while still having shops, fuel and other services close at hand. For anglers, the fish-cleaning station, crab cooker, free crab-net hire and nearby jetty make the park particularly appealing. For long-distance travellers, however, its biggest advantage may simply be the opportunity to rest, restock and prepare properly before tackling the Nullarbor. If your schedule allows, consider spending two nights rather than one. Ceduna is worth exploring, and you’ll start the next stage of your Nullarbor journey rested and prepared.
