Me and JJM and possibily others are coming to Adelaide for the long Easter Weekend and wondering if anyone here knows of cheap, but good accomodation...Even some good camping spots, but must be in Adelaide.

West beach caravan park is a good bet.
Cabins, vans & camping + swedish tourists...
Not THAT far from the city or Aami stadium which, to my psychic knowledge will be your destination @ one point.

Westy caravan park not a bad option actually. Cabins are simple but do the trick.

That's miles away from oakbank racecourse tho... a must see in the SA easter long weekend

plenty of room in the oldies back yard for camping. 5-10 min walk from the racetrack.
Failing that, they allow camping on the balhannah oval down the street over easter.

Just camp in the West Parklands with your brudders.

Sorry. Nah, seriously, if you're after something nice, maybe try Brown Hill Creek, or Belair Nat. Park caravan parks.

When I was up in the sticks, finding a place to stay in the city was always a drama as there aren't many motor-inns close to town.

If you want cheap, but still neat and clean try the Capri Lodge on Anzac Highway. They don't have a bekky service or anything, but you wont find cheaper close to the city. 08 82971168

At $130 per half hour, it's pretty expensive accommodation though. :
