late Audust 2017….had been bush camping for past 12days..( crossing of Simpson desert)..arrived Carrieton just on sunset,been blowing a gale all day, and cold.

Noelene said “yep,school house,come in to the shed after you get settled,”

We did.Met some interesting fellow travellers and had a good laugh.

Hot shower , warm comfy bed.Bliss.

Absolutely marvellous place, thanks for the welcoming two very scruffy looking blokes Nolene.

A great friendly ,family oriented park,would recommend to all.

I stayed at the caravan park late 2016. A community member let me stay for $10 a night on a powdered site as I am a single female and I stayed a week. I greatly admire the work being done in small towns to keep them vibrant, an example being the community shop, run by volunteers and the caravan park. However, when the manager of the park returned, Noelene, things were not so pleasant. I was invited into her caravan where I was told I should be paying more and not to tell snyone what I was paying. After being there for three days, I was invited into the tin shed, where I discovered all the other campers hanging out, except me. Noelene never had a pleasant word for me, and if she could say anything unpleasant, she wasted no time in doing so. She could be nice to some, but I never found her to be. I found her to be an unpleasant and controlling bully and I’m sorry to see the caravan park in her hands. The community deserves a manager who is prepared to try different approaches to increase business. A caravan association who wanted their members to stay for $10 a night on unpowered sites were described idiots and if their members were too scared to free camp, they could pay the price. People who stayed at Farina were described a fools who thought they were on a cattle station. And on it went. On my last day, I slept in and by the time I’d finished packing and was ready to leave, it was 12.30. I was the only one staying there. I got my final dressing down on that day. As a 70 year old female and solo traveller, I expect better from caravan managers.

Just spent 3 lovely nights at the Caravan Park and was an excellent base to take trips around the area to Wilpenna, Blinman and Quorn plus the interesting historic towns of Hammond and Johnsburg. The low price of $20 a night for a beautiful powered sight was complemented with the nicest showers and toilets we have seen in the camp site and so quiet and peaceful .Noeleen who was in charge was very helpful and friendly and encouraged us to have a lovely time and meal at the Carrieton Pub. A great holiday and enthusiastically encourage people to visit and use the park as a base .The park is run by the local progress association and is there not as a profit making business but to encourage people to visit the lovely little town of Carrieton.

Hi There,

In the following outlined fundraising event Supporting Mental Health Awareness in SA we were trying to get 1-2 nights’ accommodation in Flinders Ranges donated to assist putting together a Travel Package For Auction for the Travel Packages For Auction 2016 see attached Document of the same Package as last year as a guide, are you able to assist us? An Invoice/Receipt can be issued for Tax purposes.

I am a Nurse currently working Royal Adelaide Hospital Emergency Department and an Acute Admission Psychiatric Ward at Glenside Campus. I support education and awareness-raising around mental health issues in South Australia and am setting up the Red Faces 2016 fundraising event. The event is a cross between the Red Faces segment of Hey Hey its Saturday and Australia’s Got Talent and we expect a capacity audience of 340 people and the last 3 years the event has sold out 7 weeks before event. The event is a Talent Quest with Special Guest Judges, Guest Entertainment on the night plus Charity Auctions, Spot Prizes, Door Prizes, raffle and Goodies Bags for all attendees plus the announcing the winners of The Travel Packages for Auction.
I am passionate about supporting my patients and other people living with mental illness to improve their quality of life and to ensure that they do not become the forgotten members of our community.
I am setting up the Red Faces 2016 with all funds raised going to GROW SA. GROW SA is a community based charitable organisation offering a wide range of programs and services to people living with severe mental illness, their natural support network and the wider community. All proceeds from the event will go to GROW SA and will support the important work that they do and help progress one of the organisation’s strategic goals ‘to reach people we haven’t reached before’. Of interest the National Patron of Grow is the Governor General and in South Australia the Patron is Vickie Chapman MP.
There is an event page setting up on Facebook if you would like to add for interest:- https://www.facebook.com/events/1447470952219724/

Also if interested in looking at Photos from Red Faces 2015 see:- https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.891948270868687.1073741986.205157836214404&type=1&pnref=story

We were wondering if you would assist by supporting us with a donation of a voucher for accommodation. Any donations received will be used as part of The Travel Packages for Auction.
Red Faces 2016 will be held on Saturday 14th May 2016 in ‘The Top Room’ at the Arkaba Hotel in Fullarton, Adelaide, South Australia.
There will be a Guest MC and Guest Celebrity Judges on the night and the Charity Auctioneer is Charles Booth from Bernard H Booth Real Estate.
Sponsors of the event will be advertised by Power Point display which will project Sponsor Logos on the venue wall all evening. Event advertising will be in media outlets and promoted by three radio stations supporting the event plus in SA Style Magazine, Rip it up Magazine and Messenger newspapers. Event fliers will also be distributed electronically through numerous networks and linked to supporting websites. Brochures and Fliers are also able to be included on the tables or in the goodies bags if you wish.
The Mental Health Sector where I work employs around 10,000 staff members across Adelaide hence sponsoring this event has obvious advertising potential. If you would like to donate to Red Faces 2014, kindly ensure that you email your logo to add to the Power Point presentation.
If you wish to confirm the authenticity or legitimacy of the Red Faces 2014 event and the fact that all proceeds will go to GROW SA then please contact Christie Baverstock, SA Branch Program Secretary on 1800 558 268 or email [email protected]

We would greatly appreciate your help and be gratified to receive any assistance or donation you could give us to support our event.

In appreciation of your valued reply,

Kind Regards

what time does the rodeo start ad where in the town will it be held.

is there camping at Rondo grands plase

My partner Ivor & I have just spent the best 4 days at the Carrieton caravan park. We used our stay as a base to do day trips to Hawker, Blinman & Parachilne. Next day to Peterborough & Jamestown & even a quick drive to see the ruins at Johnburgh. Bill & Mary were the perfect hosts at the park. The history of the school & many surrounding buildings made for a wonderful walk around the town. Perfect end to our 3 week trip around South Australia!!!

Hi there! If anyone’s interested, I’ve written an article on my blog about Carrieton & the region; after spending a delightful few days there, I’m betting it won’t be my last visit!!
