Fodor's Expert Review BIG4 Cape Jervis Accommodation & Caravan Park

Overlooking the deceptively calm Backstairs Passage and the sea cliffs of Kangaroo Island beyond, this remote spot (it's on the mainland but due to ferry times, it's a popular spot for those heading to the island) feels like it marks the edge of civilization. During the summer months ferries to Kangaroo Island can be full except for early morning or late night departures; if you find yourself needing a place to stay on the mainland side, this is the best option. A range of historic farm buildings have been converted into rooms and self-contained cottages that are comfortable rather than luxurious and there are daily feedings of the many onsite animals at 4 pm.
