These passes are multiple entry and cover most national parks for an extended period of time. I would recommend getting a Parks Pass for South Australia if you plan on visiting other parks too. The vehicle entry pass can be paid just for the day, which is $12 per vehicle per day, on top of your camping fees. Deep Creek National Park feesĪs with other parks in South Australia, Deep Creek requires a national parks pass or day entry pass.

Mid-week is often so quiet outside of summer you’ll have beaches all to yourself. It also means you won’t have to deal with the crowds. This offers the most ideal weather for walking, fishing, camping and surfing combined. I would recommend visiting in either spring or autumn. However, this is also when it’s at its busiest and you may find it hard to book a campsite or find a quiet spot on the sand on a weekend in summer. The warmer weather makes it perfect for swimming in the beaches. The most popular time to visit Deep Creek National Park is in summer. It’s undoubtedly one of the best things to do on the Fleurieu Peninsula, along with some epic surf beaches and bustling coastal towns. The roads inside the national park are all unsealed, but in good condition for 2WD vehicles (except the final descent to Blowhole Beach which is 4×4 only). The national park is just 105km south of Adelaide, or 1.5 hours drive, making it perfect for a weekend escape.

One of the first national parks I visited in South Australia, Deep Creek National Park is a truly wild, coastal part of the Fleurieu Peninsula.
