The Kuitpo Forest was established in 1898 and is just 45 minutes' drive from Adelaide, near the rural township of Meadows. It forms part of ForestrySA's 12,000 hectare Mount Lofty Ranges forest estate, providing sustainable softwood production and protecting conservation areas within a picturesque community playground. Hundreds of thousands of visitors flock to the forests each year, to enjoy horse riding, bushwalking, mountain biking, camping and community events. Forest hut accommodation is also available to book outside of the fire season at ForestrySA's Rocky Creek Hut, Woodcutter's Cottage and Tinjella Hut. For more information about the recreational opportunities available or to book your forest stay please visit our website. For safety reasons, the forest is closed to the public on declared Total Fire Ban days.
