Seriously, its only a 2.5 hour drive north of Adelaide, has excellent camping facilities, plenty to do even for the novice, some of the shorter walks provide the best views. We usually head up in the mid year school holidays when the creek that runs right through the camp ground is flowing.
Roo's, Emu's and these huge goanna things are everywhere and will come over for a look, our kids loved it.
Its only a half hour drive to Pt Pirie or Pt Augusta if you want to get some supplies or to take in some local sites etc.
Do some research, you wont be sorry.

Just digging up some advice from the early days of this thread.
Finally getting around to giving mambray creek a go. Have booked a site for October long weekend. Got to get in early. Already over half full.
Wasn't that keen when we had the tent, but with a van most of the reasons for not going are eliminated (hard ground for pitching tent etc).
Ended up booking site 7, which is fairly close to amenities which may be good or bad, but looks like it has reasonable screening and looks out in to the bush at the back.
Can't wait.
