There will be dou­ble the nor­mal num­ber of park rangers on duty this East­er to ensure the safe­ty of South Aus­tralians who vis­it a park to exer­cise and stay men­tal­ly and phys­i­cal­ly well in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

In the lead up to the East­er long week­end and April school hol­i­days the Depart­ment for Envi­ron­ment and Water advis­es that no camp­ing will be per­mit­ted on Crown Land, nor in South Aus­tralian parks and reserves for the fore­see­able future.

South Australia’s nation­al parks are avail­able for local peo­ple to vis­it their local park, as long as vis­i­tors fol­low all State and Fed­er­al Gov­ern­ment COVID-19 guidelines. 

Vis­i­tors to the Munga-Thirri-Simp­son Desert should be aware that the Queens­land por­tion of the desert will remain closed until ear­ly to mid-April due to flood­ing in the Eyre Creek.
