Moonta is situated on the Yorke Peninsula of South Australia, 165 kilometres north-west of Adelaide. The town has a strong Cornish mining heritage, which is evident in the many restored buildings, museums and cemeteries. Moonta’s close proximity to Moonta Bay and Port Hughes makes it a popular holiday destination, with jetties, safe swimming beaches and clean waters of the Spencer Gulf drawing visitors during the warmer months.
RV travellers will find Moonta a convenient place to stopover to explore the Copper Coast. Parking is available for up to 48 hours at Kitto Park on Blyth Terrace. Water is provided and pets on leads are permitted. There are no fees to stay, however a donation box is on site for visitors to contribute. A dump point can be found nearby on the corner of Blyth Terrace and Frances Street.
While visiting, be sure to stop in at the Moonta Mines Museum where train rides on the award-wining Moonta Mines Tourist Railway depart from. The train takes passengers on an entertaining 50 minute journey through historic landmarks of former mining operations.
