This Ceduna caravan park has really tried to think of all the essentials that motorhome and caravan owners need for an enjoyable stay. They know what it’s like to be tempted to free camp off the highway because of the costs of caravan parks, so they’ve maintained their relatively low prices. Sites start from as little as $15 for two people and only add $5 per extra person as needed.

You’ll also appreciate that most of the sites are also drive-thru. This means that you won’t need to do any tricky reversing to fit into tight sites. You’ll have complete peace of mind that you’ll be able to just roll in and out after a long day of driving.

If you’re staying at this Ceduna caravan park, then you also have access to plenty of other amazing facilities, from a kitchen to laundry amenities.

Ceduna caravan park facilities

You’ll find all the essential facilities at Shelly Beach that you would expect from a top Ceduna caravan park. From all the cooking amenities to entertainment for the kids, you’ll have everything that you need and more.

You’re welcome to enjoy the public kitchen that is located within the grounds. The Camp Kitchen provides a fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster and a small oven for all guests to use. It’s perfect for those who prefer to cook their own meals and it’s a lovely spot to eat and recount your wonderful day.

BBQ facilities

Laundry facilities

This Ceduna caravan park also offers laundry facilities, so you don’t have to haul all your dirty laundry home with you at the end of your trip. There are coin-operated washing machines and dryers provided for all guests to use. This is especially useful if you’ve been on the road for a while!

Entertainment for the kids

If you’re taking the kids along for your trip around the Eyre Peninsula, you won’t have to keep coming up with things for their entertainment at this Ceduna caravan park.

They are spoilt for choice with activities for some fun and to meet other kids, without even having to leave the park boundary. There is a playground within the park that they can use and there’s also a games room and TV room for those rainy days.

If you prefer to keep them active, then there’s always the beach and Scenic Dune Walk Trail which you can access from this Ceduna caravan park. We also can’t forget to mention the 3 Wheel Pedal Buggies that are available to hire as well, which are really popular amongst the kids.

Pet-friendly accommodation

Shelly Beach Caravan Park knows that many people like to travel with their four-legged friend. They have a very welcoming pet policy and are more than happy for you to bring them along.

There are dedicated Pet-Friendly Cottages that are able to accommodate up to 4 people with one double bed with linen, and two single bunk beds with linen as an optional extra.

These pet-friendly cottages also include a bathroom, television (some with Foxtel), air-conditioner, and a fully equipped kitchen. More importantly, there is a courtyard that serves as a contained outside pet area and house-trained pets are also allowed inside.

The fine print details of the pet-friendly accommodation are pretty simple. You’ll have to pay a bond on arrival as security for your pet. Your pet must be restrained at all times and under no circumstances are they to be left unattended in the pet-friendly accommodation.

Other than that (and any changes that may have come into effect since this article was written), your fur-babies are most welcome. The beach and walking trails nearby are also a great place to take your pets for a play.

However, it’s important to note that there are strictly no pets allowed in the Eco Shacks or Luxury Villas. If you want to bring your pet along, you should definitely opt for the designated pet-friendly cottages.

Refund policy

People often skip over the finer details but it’s important to know the refund policy when you’re booking. If you need to cancel at any time, the refund policy is pretty generous at this Ceduna caravan park. Cancellations notified more than 7 days prior to occupancy will incur a cancellation fee of $30.00.

Cancellations within 7 days of expected arrival will incur a loss of full deposit (paid upon booking and equal to the cost of a night’s accommodation, your deposit paid upon booking is your first night’s stay). Deposits and final payments are non-refundable but can be held as a credit for 12 months, if alternative dates can be arranged.
