A campervan escape from Adelaide to Kangaroo Island is one of South Australia’s most rewarding nature trips. Think pristine beaches, amazing wildlife, and dramatic coastal rock formations, all perfect for outdoor lovers ready to explore in a Wicked Campervan.
Start in Adelaide
Pick up your campervan in Adelaide and head south. A scenic drive through the Fleurieu Peninsula sets the tone for what’s ahead: fresh air, wide views, and total freedom.
Getting to Kangaroo Island
Kangaroo Island isn’t directly connected by road, so you’ll need to take the vehicle ferry from Cape Jervis to Penneshaw. There’s an additional ferry fee for vehicles and passengers on top of your campervan rental. Prices vary by season and vehicle size, and they’re not included in your Wicked Camper hire, so book ahead and budget for the crossing.
What to See & Do
- Flinders Chase National Park – Explore iconic spots like Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch, with coastal panoramas and rugged granite sculptures.
- Seal Bay Conservation Park – Walk among wild sea lions on the sand as they rest and play.
- Vivonne Bay – A standout beach with clear water and wide sands, perfect for picnics, beach walks, or fishing.
- Wildlife — Kangaroos, koalas, echidnas, native birds, and more are part of the island’s daily rhythm.
Camping & Tips
- Bring a park pass or tour pass if you want access to multiple attractions — it’s worth planning ahead.
- Book ferry crossings early, especially in busy seasons — spots fill fast.
- Roads on the island can be gravel outside major towns — drive confidently and take your time.
A Kangaroo Island road trip is a nature‑lovers’ classic. Pack your Wicked Camper, head across the water, and make the most of South Australia’s wild island getaway!
