About Riba's Caravan Park & Underground Camping
Experience the magic of Coober Pedy at Riba’s Caravan Park & Underground Camping—the only place in Australia where you can pitch your tent or swag underground. Nestled just five minutes from town, Riba’s offers a truly unforgettable outback adventure.
Stay your way: choose from shaded powered caravan sites, unpowered camping under the stars, or escape the elements with underground camping alcoves, where natural insulation keeps temperatures at a steady 23–25°C year-round. Prefer a bed? Budget underground rooms are available for singles, couples, and families.
Please note: pets are welcome above ground only—campers in underground areas must leave furry friends topside for their safety and comfort.
Riba’s isn’t just about quirky accommodation—it’s about connecting with the real Coober Pedy. Join the only evening opal mine tour in town (minimum 5 people) and discover how this remote community struck it rich beneath the desert floor. Learn about old-school mining methods and modern-day techniques in a hands-on, educational experience perfect for all ages.
Facilities include a camp kitchen, underground TV room, free hot showers, WiFi, BBQs, and a laundry. Note: water is not plumbed to caravan sites, so be sure to fill your tanks before arrival. A refill station is available in town.
With a reputation for safety, friendliness, and one-of-a-kind experiences, Riba’s is a favourite among road trippers, vanlifers, and adventurers seeking something different.
Book your stay at Riba’s and experience underground living, outback charm, and the spirit of Coober Pedy—above or below the surface.
