South Australia caravan stays
South Australia offers a choice of short regional escapes rather than one obvious loop: Adelaide Hills villages, the Clare Valley and the Fleurieu coast. Discovery Parks currently identifies EV charging at Hahndorf, Clare (for selected cabin guests) and Goolwa. We explain the limits of those options so you can match the right park, vehicle and booking type before setting off.
Plan the holiday
Hahndorf suits a close-to-Adelaide Hills weekend. Clare works well as a slower wine-country stay; Goolwa is a base for the lower Murray and Fleurieu coast. Keep these as separate options unless a longer trip suits your schedule, because each adds different regional roads and day-trip distances.
Use the state charging network and your vehicle's route planner for the actual trip. A cabin-only charger does not make a powered caravan site EV-friendly by itself, and the Clare arrangement has an explicit eligibility condition.
Stay shortlist
Discovery Parks' FAQ names Hahndorf and Goolwa as approved EV charging locations, and says Clare charging is available to guests staying in selected cabins only. It also says most of its parks do not offer EV charging. Contact the chosen property to confirm exact access, current availability and whether a caravan-site guest can use the equipment.
Charging on the road
Before leaving Adelaide, check the RAA charging map and operator apps for live status and connector details. If continuing from Clare to Goolwa or making a longer detour, route through compatible public chargers rather than assuming each park will supply a charger to every guest. Keep an alternate stop in the app in case a unit is occupied or offline.
Charging safely
Discovery Parks says EVs can be charged only from approved EV infrastructure; ordinary accommodation, caravan-site and camping-site outlets, extension leads and power boards are not permitted. Follow the park's current notice and the EV manufacturer's charging instructions. If your stay is in a cabin, verify whether the published charger is included or shared.

Common questions
