Camp, canoe, and spot rare birdlife at this remote nature reserve.
With its wildlife-filled wetlands sprawling over more than 337,000 hectares and peppered with lakes, creeks, and rivers, Calperum Station is a place to reconnect with nature. Housed on a former sheep station, the vast nature reserve sits just north of Renmark in the Riverland region. For campers looking to get off-grid, the highlight is the secluded bush camping by the creekside—bring your tent, swag, or caravan, and build a campfire right by the waterfront for unforgettable Calperum Station camping. The remote reserve also has various other accommodation options, including a homestead with rustic cottages for rent and a dormitory complex with BBQs and a firepit. Whether you paddle around the wetlands on a kayak or canoe, explore the floodplains by 4WD, or join a guided walking tour, Calperum Station is a prime spot to see rare wildlife and birds such as Black-eared Miner and Malleefowl.
