Point Lowly

Point Lowly Camping Area sits at the tip of a small rocky peninsula jutting into Spencer Gulf, north-northeast of Whyalla in South Australia's Upper Spencer Gulf region.

The peninsula was named by explorer Matthew Flinders in 1802 and is best known for its historic lighthouse and the remarkable winter breeding aggregation of Australian giant cuttlefish that gathers inshore each year.

The camping area accommodates big rigs and motorhomes and includes a toilet block and cold showers, with easy access to the nearby marina. Across five designated camping areas, a total of 19 campsites are available each night.

Visitors can explore the rugged Freycinet Trail along the coast, swim at Point Lowly Beach, or drive to the landmark lighthouse at the peninsula's tip.
