Pindari Park is a beautiful 130 acre CLIFF TOP property that offers both North and South views of the River Murray. Situated on the western bank (cliff side) overlooking the most Northerly point of the river and the township of Cadell SA.
Our property does have a rocky underlay, due to the cliff, recommended that drill tent pegs are used.

With Pindari Park’s scattered native trees, saltbush and mallee shrubs bringing an abundance of wildlife to the property, sit back, relax and enjoy the serenity.
While you sit at the camps sites, enjoy watching the Cadell Ferry, appreciate birds and wildlife, or just enjoy the river boats on their journey up or down our mighty River Murray. You just might be able to catch one of the cruise boats or paddle steamers cruise past, make sure you give them a wave as they pass by.
Pindari Park has many gravel roads and tracks to follow for taking a hike/walk, however, please note that this property is on a cliff, therefore it may not be suitable for young children and caution must be taken at all times.
Each campsite has a fire pit area that can be used during May to October each year (fire ban period is November to April each year). ALL CAMPERS ARE TO BRING THEIR OWN FIREWOOD, NO COLLECTION OF FIREWOOD ALLOWED ON THE PROPERTY.

Escape to Coorong Island Retreat: Where Nature is Your Host
Wake up to the raw beauty of the Murray River and the Coorong. Whether you’re here to play, explore, or simply slumber, this is nature’s brilliance in its purest form.
The Vibe
Think breathtaking scenery and local wildlife encounters. We’re a working rural property, so expect wide-open pastures, the occasional alpaca or sheep wandering past, and authentic country charm.
Adventure Your Way
On the Water: A paradise for boaters, fishers, and birdwatchers.
On the Trail: Bushwalk through nature trails or bike straight to the Coorong.
Explore Further: Tackle 4WD tracks at Coorong National Park or take a "tasting tour" of Langhorne Creek, located about a 1-hour drive (approx. 86km) away.
The Setup
We welcome self-contained campervans, families, and well-behaved pets.
Pro Tip: It can get breezy! While campervans have plenty of space, we have a "hidden" sheltered spot between the tree groves that is perfect for 2–3 tents or swags if you want to duck the wind.
Seasonal Essentials
Getting Here: In winter, 2WDs have no trouble. In summer, the sand gets loose—so bring the 4WD!

I really enjoyed camping at The Scrub Campsite. The communication with the owner was clear, so it was easy to find and the is good signage as well.
We had a tent and, although we only spent one night there, we had a great time.
I loved that we could pick out our own site. There are some closer to the communal kitchen area, and others further, tucked away. They are all tidy with trees and bushes and a clearing for the tent and the car to park.
There is a firepit, table and chairs with every site.
We took our own wood (you can also buy some there), had a nice fire going and did some campfire cooking.
There is a lot to do for the kids as well if you go with the family.
Waking up to the birds and sunshine was awesome.
Definitely would go back and recommend it to others.

Site 6 is a little more private. You can hire fire pit $10 and crate of Wood $15. The portaloos were not in use, so it was a proper toilet/shower block. Can walk to coast along the river track.

Darren was a lovely bloke who made sure we were always well accommodated for, very well equipped to help us out with any questions about hikes or facilities! The sunset was stunning, and there was a fair patch of land for us to plonk ourselves down on to start our own little fire and drink our beers in peace!

Loved our stay at Nat and Stu's, would highly recommended. Great peaceful spot, close to Vivonne Bay and surrounds. Having the shelter and the toilet was super handy, could have easily stayed another night if time permitted. Host was super responsive and answered all our questions no worries.

Great place to drop in for a stay. Darren is a great bloke who has years of knowledge for visiting McLaren Vale. Look forward to coming back to visit.

Back again to Camp Toondilla. Shocking weather, but it's a very sheltered spot so wind's not a problem. Walking distance to a good community Op Shop.

Lovely view across the bay and with a fire at night , hopefully a light breeze at most, and it’s a lovely place to relax and base yourself whilst still being close to everything.
