About this campsite

The Eyre Waterhole Rest Area, located on the Flinders Highway near Streaky Bay, offers travelers a spacious area shaded with a picnic table. This historic site, where famous explorer John Eyre camped, invites you to follow in his footsteps. Plus, a short scenic walk leads you to the unique, ever-filling waterhole that he discovered. Enjoy a stay steeped in history, nature, and unparalleled serenity.

There is a picnic table and some nice shade, but no other facilities. Just a short walk down a path takes you to the famed waterhole where Eyre camped with his men and horses. The waterhole is only ankle deep, but as Eyre commented, it kept filling no matter how much water was removed.
