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.
ALL CAMPERS ARE TO BRING THEIR OWN FIREWOOD, NO COLLECTION OF FIREWOOD ALLOWED ON THE PROPERTY.
Pindari means “From the high ground” from the aboriginal origin and was originally apart of the Nor’ West Bend Station (est. 1850) that stretched from Overland Corner to Burra. The Nor’ West Bend Station next door is now a heritage listed private residence.
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.
Take a drive into to Morgan (9 kms) and visit the Old Wharf Port and the Landseers Museum or catch the Cadell Ferry and head across the river to visit the Spook Hill Winery or to use the local boat ramp.

The Riverland is an amazing place to visit, full of so many surprises! The variety in the landscape, from harsh limestone plains to beautiful rolling sandhills, to the beauty of the Murry River. There is so much wildlife to see especially when it comes to bird watching! And the area is full of history! In every town you will discover many historical facts and buildings, machines etc. We even have histroy right here on our property!-ruins of an old school. Oh, do I hear you love taking your horse out for trail rides? Well, here's the perfect place for that too!
At the campsite - approx 2km away from the farmhouse - you have the privilege of being surrounded by natural scrublands and habitats on the plains. See our mallee, acacias, sugar woods, grevilleas, honeyeaters, wrens, finches, kangaroos, emus & more. And don't forget the stars!! Our night sky is amazing due to very low light interference. At times, wake up to the sounds of sheep bleating and drinking from the trough a few hundred meters away.
We have a central campfire area for each site and a double sink connected to river water for washing up and a large prep area on sites 1 & 2. Also on site 1 & 2, just a short walk from the camp fire is an outdoor flushing toilet with hand basin-a luxury for a station stay!
Often there are things happening on the farm. Feel welcome to ask if there is anything you can be a part of to add to your holiday experience! We may be moving sheep, shearing, crutching, fencing, feeding the farm animals, milking our house goats etc. Even come for a horse ride (further info in 'Extras")!
Well behaved dogs are welcome, but please discuss this with us prior to booking and they must be on a lead at all time.
Sites are family friendly. Please let us know if you have children so we can accommodate the pricing. We want you to have the best camp experience!
If you are camping with friends, why not do a Group Booking? You will find this if you search "Stockyard Plains Group Booking" in the search bar.

It’s a great spot to stop over for a night. The cooler spot by the river was canopied by gumtrees so I felt it wasn’t a safe option to camp beneath them. There was a flat area up from the site, along with a compost toilet, which I used. Some prickles in the grassed areas so take care if you have kids/pets. The site is viewable to the nearby road. Whilst traffic wasn’t an issue this did remove some security comfort for me being a solo traveller.

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.

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.

The best camping near Moorook guide
Where to go
Kingston on Murray
The town of Kingston on Murray sits at the heart of the Riverland on the bank of the Murray River, which feeds into Wachtel's Lagoon. Area caravan parks typically offer powered and unpowered sites on the river’s shores, most pet-friendly and popular for birdwatching and kayaking. Facilities may include modern camp kitchens, BBQs, picnic tables, swimming pools, and nearby boat ramps.
Loxton
On the southern bank of the Murray, Loxton is a charming town that wears its history on its sleeve. Don’t miss Loxton Historical Village, where local characters roam the streets, or the Tree of Knowledge on the Murray River banks, where historical flood levels have been carved into the tree’s impressive trunk. Stay at a Loxton area holiday park to find riverfront glamping tents and tent sites.
Cobdogla
The small town of Cobdogla is a few minutes drive along the Sturt Highway from Barmera. Cobdogla Swamp and Lake Barmera are the main attractions for bird watchers, kayakers, and canoeists. Here, campsites link to the Murray and offer caravanners options for riverfront relaxation.
When to go
The Riverland region is a year-round destination that benefits from a sunshine-influenced Mediterranean climate of warm, dry summers and mild winters. Moorook and Loch Luna Game Reserves and the Murray River may sometimes be impacted by flooding due to unseasonably high rains.
Know before you go
- The Riverland region is Australia’s largest wine growing area, home to an abundance of vineyards and wineries offering cellar door sales and tastings.
- Hiring a kayak or canoe is one of the best ways to explore the Moorook floodplains, creeks, and waterways.
- Duck hunting is permitted in the Moorook and Loch Luna Game Reserves—check with Parks South Australia for seasonal opening times and exclusions.
- Low-lying wetlands make the region susceptible to flooding, so campers should stay alert during adverse weather conditions when roads and access to towns may close.
- Pick up fresh produce at nearby Waikerie, the hub of South Australia’s fruit growing industry.
