Jumping pillows, pools and playgrounds playgrounds, right up to massive waterparks, putt putt and pump tracks. Some of these go over and above when it comes to family friendly, making them a fantastic family holiday option all within an easy drive from home.

We’re lucky to have stayed at some of South Australia’s best caravan parks and here’s our top picks for 2026.

Discovery Parks – Goolwa is the kind of family holiday park where the kids are entertained before you’ve even unpacked. Located on the Fleurieu Peninsula, it’s filled to the brim with, including an epic splash park, two heated pools, a huge all-ages playground with flying fox, a bouncing pillow and pedal karts. Our modern Deluxe 2 Bedroom Cabin slept six, was spotless and comfortable, and sat just steps from the pool – perfect for those “just one more swim†moments.

The park has a relaxed, safe vibe that parents will love, with bike-friendly paths, covered BBQs, food vans, movie nights and school holiday activities. You can easily spend your entire stay enjoying everything onsite, or venture out to nearby Goolwa Beach, the Cockle Train and river foreshore.
