Cape Jervis Homestays

Having booked 3 months in advance of our 5 night stay I thought we may have been given a better site than we did. We are happy to go 'rustic' or even bush camping but to be given a site, in a paddock, on the main road and with no shade was disappointing to say the least! The van faced west - the last in the row so we were not afforded the afternoon shade from the van next to us & meant we had to park our car alongside the van and use the awning on the car for shade. The amenities were hot, claustrophobic and flooded most afternoons... There were no bins/recycling crates around the park. The site was perfect for a one night stay due to pre/post KI ferry access.... as there was enough room to leave the car hitched to the van... This was less than expected at a free camping site and grossly overpriced at $40 per night. There were sites given to overnight visitors that was better than the one we had.. We left 2 days early due to the poor location and lack of shade (temp was 39°) Would not recommend for a longer stay than one night... Not sure how this has been given the endorsement from Big 4... classic or not - some sites leave a lot to be desired... Having said all of this, the hosts were friendly and the view was magnificent...
