Parts of Deep Creek National Park remain closed for public safety following a bushfire. Visit the website for the latest alerts and closures within the park.
Come and experience a wide range of activities such as bushwalking on an extensive network of trails, camping in five campgrounds and viewing the spectacular scenery of Backstairs Passage, Kangaroo Island and the rugged Deep Creek valley.
Deep Creek National Park is the largest portion of remaining natural vegetation on the Fleurieu Peninsula and is home to an array of native wildlife such as western grey kangaroos, short beaked echidnas and 100 species of birds that can be heard and seen while walking in the park.
Deep Creek is the only national park within 100km of Adelaide that offers bush camping. Four campgrounds are accessible by 2WD and one is 'hike-in' only and situated on the Heysen trail, making it an ideal environment for a family adventure.
The 15 walking trails in the park provide spectacular scenery of Backstairs Passage, Kangaroo Island and the rugged Deep Creek Valley. The walks range from easy to very difficult so accommodating for all ages and abilities. The walking trail network in Deep Creek National Park includes sections of the famous Heysen Trail.

Well maintained tracks. The best part is you get to be away from the rest of the world, especially if you stay inside the park - we stayed at the Homestead - no mobile or internet, no TV. Kids had to play with elders for a change 🥰. Inquisitive kangaroos coming and checking us out. If you notice, wildflowers are more by the side of walking tracks. My hypothesis is 1) they get more sunlight than in the thick of the bush b) people help disperse the seeds. I have included some of these, including a ground orchid, spot it if you can here….and then when you get there. I took the photo on waterfall track. If you stay at Hempstead- practice some tennis before you go, or else there is a chance of losing balls in the fern thicket, just like what happened to my nephew 😂

Most beautiful national park i've ever been to. Hope to bring Humpty, Bumpty and Harold to this paradise in the future. Atmosphere: 4.6/5 - Quiet and Peaceful, occasional people around the park. Views: 5/5 - Spectacular, Extraordinary. Not much more i can say. Fauna: 4.7/5 - Heaps of unique plants along the trail that are probably Aussie Natives but i don't know. Beware of the 🦘 when walking around the Goondooloo Ridge lookout (rip🕊)

Beautiful views and nice hikes. Each campground has fire pits and long drop toilets with a rain water tank to wash your hands with. There was hardly any litter around, and a lot of wildlife

Great walk to Blowhole beach. The park had a wildfire go thru in Feb, so can see the damage and start of recovery. Saw lots of kangaroos.

This park is situated at the bottom of the Fleurieu Peninsula and close to Cape Jervis. There is heaps of wildlife such as the Western grey kangaroo, echidna and 100 bird species. There are six camping grounds - most are really only suitable for tents, though there are a couple of caravan spots at Trig and Cobbler Hill camp grounds. Entry fees apply and dogs are not allowed. Most of the walking trails are graded 4 and 5, with just one graded 2 and three graded 3. So a good level of fitness is required. 4 wheel drive vehicles are handy but not required for most of the area. The Heysen Trail comes through this park. As this area is basically on a cliff top it is a long and steep walk to the beach. You can access Blowhole Beach with a 4 wheel drive but it is slow and very rugged going. There are drop toilets at all the camping areas.
