Rawnsley Park Station

My family and I just stayed here for the fourth time in two years and absolutely loved our stay as always. Bee at reception was lovely and welcoming and Kate, the General Manager, seemed to be everywhere at the same time to ensure guests were always attended to. We stayed in one of the Superior Holiday Cabins: spotless, very nicely decorated and with a full kitchen. The views from here are nothing short of amazing. We enjoyed the BBQ area and the pool. Information on exploring the area is very comprehensive and enabled us to do exciting hikes and beautiful scenic drives. Thank you to all who made our stay so special, we'll be back for a fifth time and many times after!

Hi Readers, Spectacular is the first word I uttered when I went to our unpowered site. This station ( facility ) is spread in thousands of acres facing the Flinder ranges. While coming from the Hawker, take the route of Flinder ranges way to enter this property, neatly 25 min of drive from Hawker town centre. Remember, the road of flinders Ranges is the most happening road like lookouts, short or long hiking walk, scenic drives so worth staying here. This property is with powered , unpowered, cabins, bush camping, private accomodations with friendly staff. You will not be disappointed whether you choose bush camping because the alloyed bush camping area with flush toilet facility too; I must say you would definately love unpowered or bush camping area ( $34) in the hilly and rolling mountains of Rawnsley Park station. This station or facility is with communal shower, flush toilets including fuel, general food store ( onsite the office) , car wash, air compressor, dedicated bin arrangements everywhere, swimming pool, drinking water, breakfast -lunch- dinner facility on demand with charges, short and long walking / hiking trails which is within the Rawnsley. Every soot We stayed for 2 nights overlooking view of Flinder ranges, under open starry night sky. A lot of things to do nearby and around the Flinder ranges. You will not be disappointed. If you are short of grocery ( fresh fruit or veg) then you can buy from Wilpena station which is also another park station for travellers. Obviously, grocery prices is higher. We visited the Flinder ranges during summer Break but ideal season is April to September. Hope this information helpful; Thanks.

My partner and I planned a trip to flinders coming from central Victoria not knowing anything about the area, we booked the bush camp unpowered site and once we arrived we were greeted by the friendly staff who gave us a map which was very easy to follow, they also provided a pamphlet with places to go, tracks to drive and the surrounding towns with pet friendly options. To say that we are absolutely amazed with this place would be a huge understatement. If you are considering coming to flinders ranges this is the best place 100% We got takeaway from the Woolshed Restaurant and the food was unbelievable. We would absolutely recommend this and will be coming back. Ps. If you are going unpowered go out to the bush camping as it is worth it.

We stayed at Rawnsley Park without much prior research. It is well appointed with fuel, basic conveniences and gift shop. The bush camping section was great for us travelling in a 4WD and RTT, this section has elevated views of the ranges, great for sunrise and sunset. It was worth the drive into the bush camping section as it was less crowded. Great walks within the park (lengths vary) stunning view points of the ranges.

We had a superior unit which was nicely fitted out. Very comfortable bed and great view. Lots of activities on site, we did the sinset 4WD tour which was fantastic.|Restaurant was a dissapointment. Very limited menu and overpriced. Coffee machine broken and apparantley has been for some time. Had to travel to Wilpena resort for a coffee, as do Rawnsley staff. Not good enough for a 5 star? resort.

Intended to stay 2 days and extended to 4. Very friendly staff, clean and functional amenities. Great location looking at the south east end of the range. Great area to explore. I have met 5 couples travelling through and we have had a few drinks and plenty of laughs. Can't speak mote highly of the place. P.S. Fuel at the staiton is cheaper than Hawker. Bonus.

Booked the Highlights package to celebrate a special WA. Stayed in an Eco Villa (amazing), did the 8hr 4WD tour, but sadly the 30min flight over the Flinders was cancelled due to a plane issue (full refund provided immediately by reception). If you want something very special (though not cheap) this is the way to go. However, the park offers every kind of accommodation from free camping sites to cabins, and they are in differest areas so you really do feel the openess of the area. The whole process from booking, confirmation emails, relevant information on our stay, arrival (reception staff friendly & knowledgeable), to checking out was so professional and smooth. Our 4WD Tour guide (Rachel) was super friendly and easy going, knowledgeable and you could just tell she loves working there and we were all amazed to see the wildlife and the landscape. It is close to Wilpena Pound (NP Day Pass $10), Hawker 30mins south, the Gorges (easy 4WD roads), so many lookouts, and Blinman (have to taste the pies at Blinman Hotel) is only an hours drive north, as well as so many walking tracks on the property itself. So just book a stay, you wont be disappointed.

We bush camped here for 3 days while we explored the area. Rawnsley Park Station was a fabulous location. The views and campsites were spectacular. We have 2 dogs travelling with us and were able to pay for them to be in the kennels while we went to the national park locations. The price for an unpowered site for our caravan was cheaper than some others we have stayed at with 100% more! Would highly recommend when visiting the Flinders Ranges.
