Rapid Bay

We had looked at the map and thought that the coast below Adelaide, the Fleurieu Peninsula would be a good place for Christmas. The journey to Rapid Bay from Adelaide was about 1 and half hours but the road was quite narrow and windy unlike any we have been on yet in Australia, more like NZ roads.
On arrival here we got a camp on the big grass area and hoped that someone on the beachfront might leave as these were by far the best spots, right on the beach with the sea about 30 metres away.
Sure enough the next day a caravan was packing up so we talked to them and made sure we were ready to move straight in, sorted!!!!
It is a council owned campground and the fees are only $84 for the week although they only supply toilets and water which you have to put in containers, all good for us. We think we shall stay for New Years as well as the people seem very friendly and hopefully it will be a good night.
There is a jetty for people to fish off and best of all you can swim even at low tide, its quite deep water even if it is a little chilly.

Our great camp site
