Nilpena Ediacara National Park in Australia Is Home to Dramatic Scenery, Incredible Wildlife, and the Oldest Fossils in the World — How to Visit

"As a natural extension to Nilpena, Ikara‑Flinders Ranges National Park offers a very different, more mountainous landscape with sprawling ranges and grasslands, a network of four walks and 14 hiking trails, numerous campgrounds (some walk‑in only and others permitting different vehicle types), and historic stations converted into luxury lodgings, making it a good place for multi‑day hikes and more traditional outback camping experiences." - Justin Meneguzzi Justin Meneguzzi Justin Meneguzzi is an award-winning journalist and photographer based in Melbourne, Australia. Whether he’s tracking down polar bears in the Arctic or a good laneway latte in Toronto, he's always out exploring. Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines

9 of the Best Places to Stay in South Australia

"As the only accommodation in Ikara–Flinders Ranges National Park, I appreciated that Wilpena Pound is owned and operated by the Adnyamathanha people and offered enriching experiences such as Aboriginal cultural walks led by a Yura guide, visits to ancient rock art sites, fossil hunting in nearby canyons, 4-wheel-drive tours, and scenic flights over Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre; I also found the low-key glamping tents at the Ikara Safari Camp delivered sublime outback views from the comfort of a porch." - Hannah Lott-Schwartz Hannah Lott-Schwartz Hannah Lott-Schwartz is an award-winning lifestyle journalist and editor.

Definitely worth visiting, we spent there almost s week hiking, cycling, rock climbing, driving, sightseeing and just chilling! Go through the Wilpena campground, stay couple of nights and they also have information centre, fuel and grocery store there open during the day.

We loved this area - the drive out to Razorback Lookout & Bunyeroo Gorge is quite long drive - about 2 hours on dirt road - but we didn't regret it. P.S. Stop off at Stokes Hill Lookout for great 360° views including Wilpena.

Stunning landscapes, and points of geological and historical interest. It's quite touristy. Convoys of 4WDs move between points of interest, stop, take photos, move on (and you need 4WD or you'll be moving rather slowly as well as annoying others who will want to pass you). Roads are very dusty. Billions of flies. A few bold or stupid people around on mountain or gravel bikes (it's not very safe due to the dust and visibility problem). SA Parks camp sites are nice with basic drop toilet (must be booked). The resort at Wilpena Pound also has camping plus showers, nice food, firewood, fuel etc. (everything here is expensive). Most of the park has no mobile coverage (at least for Telstra). But worth the down sides.

Amazing park. So much to see and do. Great for all range of ages. Great short and longer walks within the park. Easy to get around with 4wd and loads of super great camp sights. If you’re a photographer there are so many locations to visit. We host two photography tours a year and visit in June and September. Another beautiful part of Australia.

Absolutely love it up here. Great for camping, 4x4, hiking, exploring. Serene, stunning, peaceful and aesthetically amazing for the novice or professional photographer. Patchy phone coverage which is great if you want to escape the digital life. Make sure you have alternative communications if you intend to explore and need it for emergency purposes.

Great facilities for camping, caravaning or glamping in preset up tents or if that all sounds too hard they have an onsite resort. It was camping that I came for & found a great site close to amenities. Of which they offer several basic bbq areas, good toilets & showers, laundry & clothes lines but what sets it apart is the extras, an onsite information & tourist office that can organise tours by foot, 4WD or air plus a service station with fuel, cafe , supermarket, tourist shop & bottlo but to top it off they have a bar & restaurant so you may be in the middle of the bush under canvas but you needn't go without anything. Make sure you do at least the walk to the pound lookout it's well worth it & they have a bus to get you must of the way there. Lots of animals about if you want to check out kangaroos, emus, echidinas etc.

Wilpena Pound Resort is around 170km inland from Port Augusta West, South Australia. We travelled in our Campervan and on arrival booked into the National Park camping area. The resort and park are very popular around this time of the year. We found the facilities in the park clean and tidy, every thing was nice and orderly, with no pets allowed, giving us a restful quiet nights stop over. The main purpose of our visit was to view this amazing geological area, along with the wild flowers that are purported to grow in the area. The options of things to do is fly over the pound, go on a guided tour or walk through a well worn path to the Old "Homestead" then climb up hill to a very well placed lookout over this phenomenal geological area. The native flowers were not prolific this year, but blue flowers were scattered in dells all around the area. We visited the resort, enjoying our morning coffee break. We then set off for around trip walking past the Homestead and on up to the lookout to view the pound.
