Little Dip Conservation Park is a protected area in the Australian state of South Australia located in the Limestone Coast about 105 kilometres (65 miles) north-west of Mount Gambier and about 5 kilometres (3.1 miles) south of the town of Robe. It was proclaimed as a conservation park under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 in 1975 for the purpose of conserving 'remnant vegetation and a chain of small lakes which combine to provide habitat for several endangered and vulnerable bird species' and managing 'the increasing use' of the locality 'for recreation purposes'.
