Bakara Conservation Park is a protected area of mallee scrub in the Murray Mallee region of South Australia. It is located in the locality of Maggea on the southern side of the Stott Highway.^[2]

Its area was doubled in size in 2009 by the addition of the adjacent section of land to the north of the original park.^[3]

The conservation park provides habitat for malleefowl, and local landholders are involved in active fox and rabbit control in the park and nearby farmland.^[4]

It is classified as an IUCN IUCN Category Ia protected area.^[5]
