Set in bushland on the edge of the Murry River, Roonka is a perfect escape for your school camp, family camping trip, team building retreat or community group social activities.
We welcome school and other large groups during the week and open Roonka up for everyone to enjoy on weekends and SA Government school holidays.
You’ll have shared access to wonderful facilities including camp kitchens, undercover dining, BBQs, bathrooms (with flushing toilets and hot showers!) and campfire circles outside of bushfire danger season – plus all our included adventure activities. There’s also a fully-equipped commercial kitchen with dining/recreation space available for private hire.

“GLAMPING” - ROONKA STYLE
It doesn’t come fitted with scatter cushions or throw rugs. A romantic, quiet getaway with all the bells and whistles it ain’t…
It’s affordable glamping – Roonka style!
Love the idea of camping but not all the packing or setting up the tent? Not only will we set up a beautiful bell tent for you, we’ll throw in four mattresses and your own private table and chair setting.
Perfect for a couple’s getaway or family adventure. Unplug from your devices and reconnect with nature – and each other!
Standard pricing is $200 per tent (on a powered site) and covers up to 4 people for 2 nights (including activities). Additional nights can be booked at $100 per night. The tent will comfortably fit up to 6 guests, with additional mattresses for additional guests charged at $25 per person per night (no charge for kids under five).
Bring your own pillows, sleeping bags/linen and towels.
Glamping guests have shared access to the camp kitchen and BBQs.
“We really enjoyed our short stay at Roonka in the Bell tent. It was very convenient to have the tent set up and ready for us to bring our bags in. It was very spacious for 5 of us with room to spare. Nice grassy area out the front with a beautiful tree to read under. It is a great location where the children can enjoy the water safely.” Tina, January 2024
