Searchers have found the body of a man who went missing on a motorbike in the South Australian outback.

The 29-year-old had set off on the bike to get help when the 4WD that he and a woman were in got bogged near Junction Dam on Stuart Creek Station, 90km north of Roxby Downs, on Saturday.

Police were alerted when family were unable to contact the pair.

"After waiting several hours for his return, the woman left the 4WD on foot," SA Police said.

She was found on Monday afternoon in a creek line about 100km north of Roxby Downs by a search aircraft and taken to hospital where she was treated for dehydration.

An air and ground search was intensified on Monday with local police, PolAir, family members, local station owners and aircraft involved.

"Sadly, the body of the 29-year-old Roxby Downs man was located near Gregory Creek about 100km north of Roxby Downs, just before 2pm," police said in a statement on Tuesday evening.

There are no suspicious circumstances and police will prepare a report for the coroner.
