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.

I had the best quick night away in Gurra Gurra! The site was peaceful, well shaded in the heat and secluded from other campers. My Jimny parked up right by the river where my dog and I spent the afternoon soaking in the river breeze! An amazing stay and a great host.

Lovely little spot just next to the river. Clean. A few earnest power boat owners but as expected. Quiet at night and no idiot temporary neighbours. My greatest fear with camping.

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.

The camp was great there is a large flat area for big tents and caravans.
There are great areas right on the river that aren't 100% flat.
The camp was dog friendly.
Fishing is a little difficult as there are a lot of snags but doable.
The toilet is a nice touch. Its effective a large compost bin with a nice seat and saw dust to reduce smell. There were no issues using it and it was appreciated.
The camp has great signage making it a breeze to find the spots for camp.
There is a great campfire area on the river recommend purchasing the firewood from the host.
The only thing to note is the area can get dusty with high winds.
I highly recommend this camp is very close to Berri and Renmark with all the modern conveniences.

Such a nice and peaceful spot. Beautiful surroundings and the perfect place to spend time by yourself or with family. Michelle, the owner, was really friendly and helpful, she gave me tips on good fishing spots and even offered the rowboat, which made the trip even better. It was also a bonus that her dog came by to visit every day. Highly recommended.

Very comfortable campsite, close to the riverbank. No one else around with the occasional visit from their family dog Willow. 10 mins from Berri makes it very convenient.

This camp site is easy to find. Michelle is a really lovely host. There is a site that is level for caravans. The camp is secluded and very quiet. There is a lot of birdlife and the views of the stars, sunset and river are all fantastic. What more could you ask for if you are looking to get away from it all, or for a great place to catch your breath if you are on a long trip.

Beautiful easy spot.
Perfect for us to set up the double swag by the water, and get in and out of town easily for dinner (as we'd run out of groceries by this point in our trip). So scenic with an incredible sunset, and loved having the no-motor rowboat. Composting toilet was a nice addition.

The best camping near Moorook with campfires 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.
