Vis­i­tors plan­ning to camp on Crown land this long week­end are encour­aged to make the most of their adven­ture while respect­ing and con­serv­ing these pop­u­lar areas.

The Octo­ber long week­end is fast approach­ing but there is still time to enjoy the best of South Aus­tralia by book­ing an adven­tur­ous camp­ing get­away in one of the state’s majes­tic nation­al parks and reserves.

Pub­lic camp­ing facil­i­ties offer­ing greater oppor­tu­ni­ties for vis­i­tors to appre­ci­ate a pop­u­lar River­land loca­tion are being planned by the Depart­ment for Envi­ron­ment and Water.

Envi­ron­men­tal vol­un­teers can apply for a share of $175,000 in fund­ing to sup­port vital con­ser­va­tion pro­grams in the state’s nation­al parks and reserves.

It has been recog­nised as one of the top 10 places in the world to vis­it this year and is inter­na­tion­al­ly revered as a unique haven.

And now South Australia’s jew­el in the crown, Kan­ga­roo Island, is being cel­e­brat­ed by Nation­al Parks and Wildlife Ser­vice (NPWS) as Park of the Month for September.
