Beautiful shaded are by the river. The camper trailer was up higher in full sun but we were able to spend time in the shade.
Close to Berri to pop in for supplies or local sightseeing,
Private. A few ants and flies to contend with but that was no different to many campsites locally

Private river frontage and a private campsite. Michelle said that we wouldn't even know they were in a house not far away and it was true. We drove onto the property straight to the camp area and felt like we were completely on our own for 5 nights.
A windy day and a wettish day but otherwise lovely days enjoying camp cooking on the fire. We'll bet back with friends.

There’s nothing quite like the Mighty Murray, we were so grateful for Michelle allowing us to share her beautiful property right on the banks. We were about dine under the stars with a little camp fire provided.
