Bakara Conservation Park is a nature reserve of mallee scrub in the Murray Mallee region of South Australia. It is southeast of Maggea, adjacent to the Stott Highway. The park area was doubled in size in 2009 by the addition of the adjacent section of land to the north of the original park.^[2]

The park provides habitat for malleefowl, and local landholders are involved in active fox and rabbit control in the park and nearby farmland.^[3]

The conservation park is classified as an IUCN IUCN Category Ia protected area.^[4]
