Adelaide to Kangaroo Island with a caravan or motorhome
Adelaide to Kangaroo Island runs 228 km from Adelaide to Kingscote. With a car and caravan, you're looking at 4 h 25 min behind the wheel. Our map shows it sealed the whole way.
We planned it on Motocamp's own router for a car and caravan and for a motorhome, at the sizes in the table below, so every number here comes from a real plan, not a guess.
The stops: Adelaide · Victor Harbor · Cape Jervis · Kingscote
Is Adelaide to Kangaroo Island OK for a car and caravan?
Yes, on our plan. It gets through for a car and caravan without using a road signed too low, too short or closed to caravans. Here's what to keep an eye on.
- 3 km of it is steeper than 8%. The steepest kilometre is about 10% downhill on Main South Road, at km 146.
- It keeps you off 3 nearby roads with a signed limit your rig wouldn't clear, like Topham Mall (2.03 m high) and Chief Street (2.9 m high).
- Road reports change daily out here. Motocamp checks SA Department for Infrastructure and Transport and Traffic SA for the day you travel.

Tell Motocamp what you drive, from an enduro bike to a 25-foot off-road caravan or a 10-metre motorhome, and it plans this trip for that vehicle: the roads it fits, the low bridges and closed roads to steer clear of, and places to stay on the way. The maps keep working where there's no signal.
