Our usually quiet park entertains the Easter revellers
CLAYTON BAY
WETLANDS
CARAVAN PARK

Looking for a quiet place for a holiday?

Try our little 'one star' Caravan Park.
We have the essentials of an ideal place to relax.

We have nothing too much!

We don't play mini golf - we play petanque!
We don't have water slides - we have water's edge!
We don't have night clubs - we have night skies!
We don't watch videos - we watch campfires,
water views and sunsets and birds.

We walk, go sailing and canoeing and we relax.........

_____________

We cater for just a few guests.
With only 55 sites
even when the Park is full our crowds are small.

Our amenities block is clean and our grounds are well kept.
The beaches are a delight for kids and adults alike.
_________________

We have the Clayton Bay Foreshore Nature Trail passing
through the Park and the Nature Boardwalk nearby
is handy for exercise, sightseeing and bird watching.

Why do we call it Wetlands?

 This
rare gem of a caravan park has absolute water frontage - reeds,  rushes,  swamphens, pelicans, open water's edge for kids to paddle  or swim and boats to row and sail on  warm days - or you can just to lie in  the shade or in the water itself. Rewarding for bird watchers, sailors, environmentalists or those who just want to relax.

 The Wetlands Caravan Park is also right next to the area  where boats are  available for hire, it is very small, never overcrowded, is clean and also inexpensive - and you can bring your dog.* SAILS, the  local shop,  restaurant/take-away is just 400 meters away, along the foreshore.  The  amenities include laundry with trough and coin-operated washing machine ($2.40 per wash). A campfire site is available to all - brushwood and saw provided. Fire drums can be hired for $5 per night plus $10 for a night's load of  wood.
Please note that fuel is not available at Clayton.
Milang (10 minutes drive) supplies unleaded petrol.
At Goolwa (20 minutes drive) all fuels are available.
