Karte Conservation Park (formerly Karte National Park) is a protected area located in the Australian state of South Australia in the localities of Karte and Parilla about 193 kilometres (120 mi) east of the state capital of Adelaide and about 26 kilometres (16 mi) north-west of the town of Pinnaroo.[2][5]

The conservation park consists of crown land in sections 3, 4 and 10 in the cadastral unit of the

National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. Land in section 10 of the Hundred of Kingsford was added on 7 December 1972 and in Section 135 of the Hundred of Parilla was added on 17 June 1976.[6][3][7][8] As of 2016, it covered an area of 35.90 square kilometres (13.86 sq mi).[4]

In 1980, it was described as follows:

mallee fowl… Dominant vegetation is tall, dense Eucalyptus incrassata mallee with Melaleuca lanceolata, M. uncinate and Callitris verrucosa
. This park has been minimally disturbed despite disturbed natural and cultural surrounds. However pest mammals including the fox, rabbit and house mouse are present. The park has remained unburnt for a considerable time.

The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category Ia protected area.[1] In 1980, it was listed on the now-defunct Register of the National Estate.[5]
