Magnificent site overlooking the mighty Murray high on the clifftop. Had a lovely chat with Sue our host who had lots to share with us about the farm and her experiences. The sites are large and very well spaced so you don't have anyone close. Would highly recommend this place to anyone who doesn't have small kids as the cliff is a sheer drop.

Amazing views and a great location only 5 minutes from Berri- but still a feeling of isolation. Heaps of wildlife- birds, lizards, fish and occasional visit from the very cute campsite mascot Willow (the dog!). Highly recommended and looking forward to visiting again one day.

Highly recommended! Great, friendly communication, excellent instructions and only 5 minutes from Berri. We have a 12ft hybrid van with high clearance so were able to set up camp right on the bank of the river on the only flat section which was perfect. Bigger, or low clearance vans would need to stay up the top where there is heaps of room. We didn't use the toilet but it's there if you need it. The site is very private and peaceful. Thanks Michelle for having us, can't wait to come back.

Perched on top of a cliff with the most stunning views over the river and beyond, this camp site was exactly what we needed to sit back and relax. It has its own access road, it’s a good distance away from other sites and it has a few bushes in between you and the others, which increases your sense of privacy. Walking distance to Cadell and just a short drive to Morgan. And lastly, the hosts are lovely people who were very kind to us. Highly recommended.
