Parnka Point

Parnka Point (Pelican Campground) sits within Coorong National Park at the narrowest point of the Coorong lagoon — locally known as "Hells Gate" — where the northern and southern lagoons meet.

The location delivers panoramic views up and down the waterway, and wading birds are commonly spotted in the shallow, sheltered bays nearby. The campground offers sites in close proximity to one another, with some overlooking the Coorong Lagoon directly.

It accommodates tents, camper trailers, and caravans, and is accessible by both 2WD and 4WD vehicles. Bookings are made through the SA Parks website.

The area also serves as a launching point for paddling trails, with two round-trip kayaking routes of approximately 20–36 km departing from the campground.
