Brownhill Creek Tourist Park - Mitcham, South Australia

Brownhill Creek Tourist Park offers a broad choice of accommodation in Mitcham, from studios, cabins, villas, cottages and tiny houses to powered, unpowered and ensuite camping sites. The park is around seven kilometres from Adelaide’s CBD, with direct bus routes into the city and access from the South Eastern Freeway. It is also positioned for trips to the Adelaide Hills, beaches, hospitals, shopping areas and Adelaide’s surrounding wine regions.

The setting is a key part of the stay. The park sits in a leafy valley within the Brownhill Creek State Recreation Park, giving it a quieter, rural feel despite its proximity to Adelaide. Walking and cycling trails are close by, and the site includes spacious caravan areas, picnic spaces, BBQ facilities, shared kitchens, laundry facilities and free nearby private parking. A seasonal outdoor swimming pool, children’s playground and outdoor entertainment area add practical options for families and longer stays.

There is an onsite café serving breakfast, hot food, cakes, coffee and cold drinks, along with outdoor dining. The park’s facilities also include a camp kitchen and poolside areas for cooking and relaxing. Guest reviews describe clean and spacious accommodation, friendly staff, a peaceful creekside environment and abundant birdlife. Wildlife sightings mentioned by guests include koalas and kangaroos, while the surrounding trails offer an easy way to experience the natural setting and the history of Mitcham.

The park dates back to 1954 and is operated by a family business that says it has continued developing the property since 2000 while retaining its natural character. It suits caravan and camping travellers, couples seeking a quiet base near Adelaide, families who want a playground and pool, and visitors looking for access to walking trails without staying far from the city. Dogs are permitted on caravan and camping sites, subject to the park’s conditions, but are not allowed in cabins unless they are assistance dogs.
