This site provides you with a large flat, private and secure resting spot for a large group. It also has many options for fishing, boating and access for swimming. Sit on the same banks as the First Peoples of the River Murray and look for clues of their history. This River Murray floodplain was cleared to be a fruit block is slowly being restored back. Now being restored to its former fruitful floodplain glory. Revegetation is underway to provide more shade and restore the site. Site now includes a compostable toilet!We have an amazing rare spot where you can sit right on the Murray River bank and fish.  You can set up a tent within metres of the rivers edge or park your caravan/RV within 20 metres.  You will have a secluded, quiet spot for you to enjoy with your friends and dog.  Main town is only 2.5km away - good dog walking distance.    Located on the mighty Murray River, this campsite has a cleared flat fruit block with 200 metres of exclusive Murray River frontage and limited shade.  Murray River National Park is divided into six separate areas and our region features two: the Lyrup Flats, 2,000 hectares along the floodplain on the northern side of the river. It provides wonderful opportunities for birdwatching and fishing. The Lock 4 and Eckert Creek area is a significant waterway that flows through the National Park and provides great canoe adventuring. Pelicans and other water birds, possums and kangaroos are common sights. You will need to be self contained with own water supply and camping toilet/shower amenities. Pets on leashes are welcome. Campfires are permitted when a fireban is not in place. This campsite offers a good fishing spot for native fish. There are many fantastic places to visit nearby including the Riverland Wine Centre, 3 km to the National Parks, 5 km to canoes & boat hire facilities and 4km to the township of Berri for all your supplies.

Didn’t want to leave!
Absolutely beautiful spot with lots of privacy and gorgeous views, and the whole process was incredibly easy. Loved waking up to all the birds cruising on the water as the sun came up, and hearing the water lapping at the shore as I went to sleep. Composting toilet is handy but set nicely out of the way.

Great location right on the river. Super spot to put the (borrowed) kayaks in and out of the river, and waking up to a huge range of bird calls was amazing. Downside is the occasional road noise. In summary, a great responsive host and an excellent spot to camp right on the river!

We had a great time camping with our family, the canoes and row boat were great addition and the location was beautiful. Michelle's communication was good, and having the toilet was a bonus. thanks

Beautiful spot with direct access to the river! Close enough to the town centre to pick up resources if needed and still isolated enough to avoid any busyness.

We had to camp in our motor home in the paddock area. We couldn't camp along the river at all. There wasn't any level ground. We couldn't of turned around down there if we had taken a chance to go down over the embankment. No camping by the river for us. I have a disability walker, I couldn't see the river sitting up the top. We paid for some where that wasn't suitable. Very misleading. We left & found a wonderful spot right along the edge of the river, FREE.
