Coorong National Park

The Coorong National Park extends across 490 square kilometers of coastal lagoons, sand dunes, and wetlands along the Younghusband Peninsula.

The South Australian government established Coorong National Park in 1966 to protect the extensive lagoon system and coastal ecosystems.

The Ngarrindjeri people maintain their connection to the land through traditional practices, including basket weaving and cultural education at Camp Coorong.

Visitors can access multiple camping areas throughout the park, with facilities for tents and caravans requiring advance reservations.

The park contains Australia's longest beach and largest pelican breeding colony, with over 200 bird species inhabiting the diverse water systems.
