Campoona is a locality on Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. The area is part of the territory of the Parnkalla Aboriginal Australians.[2]
The boundaries of the locality are identical to the cadastral boundaries of the Hundred of Campoona. Both are square, with an area of 100 square miles (260 km2).[1]
The dominant industry is broadacre farming of grains and sheep. Archer Exploration proposes to establish a graphite mine in the area in 2015.[3]
