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.

Enjoyed our stay. A level area down by the water would improve the site a great deal.

Murray River Retreat
Tranquil oasis
This was such a beautiful and lush little oasis to have to myself for 3 nights! Shade provided by the trees down on the embankment, which helped to keep the sun off my tent and burn off my skin! It was very convenient to have toilet facilities available. Friendly Hosts came to collect the carp that I caught, set me up with a generous load of firewood and had kayaks lined up and ready for use. Very peaceful spot right on the river. Some very friendly water rats were also highly keen on removing the carp that I had caught 😂

Murray River Retreat
Murray River Retreat. WOW, wide expanse of river front access, shady, immaculate camp. All natural on the river with sandy bank and a big weeping willow tree, where the cute Rakali will come looking for their carp. Only 5kms into Berri, the host home is nearby but camp is totally private, and the compost loo is a huge bonus for someone with only basic set up, like us 🙂 My son caught 11 carp, 2 for me. $5 for a dozen huge farm fresh eggs, boat and canoe hire also extremely good price. We also me Michelle's parents, who kindly offered to help when our tent was laid flat in wind 💛. We absolutely loved it, and hope to be back very soon!

We loved our stay! Beautiful setting and Michelle was so helpful with local tips and wheelbarrowing firewood straight to our camp each of the two days we were there. The compost toilet is very doable, much better than a long drop toilet. We’d definitely stay again!

Murray River Retreat
Murray River Retreat! WOW! Absolute river frontage, shaded, immaculate camp. A compost loo, with beautiful outhouse. Huge flat area fie tent/car/caravan etc. The river area immediately in front is all natural, wide expanse of river and good (carp) fishing. 5km to Berri, private, compost loo.... birds, fish, and water rats! *was a little nervous about them, but what busy, interesting little critters*. They eat all the carp, count now 11 in 2 days. Bloody Beautiful The family dog (I think) came for a little visit; some water sport action, enough to be amusing not annoying 😄. My 1st Hipcamp, can't imagine anything topping it at the price, privacy, location. Thanks to our host Michelle also for the beautiful fresh laid eggs. Kayak & boat hire also at bargain rates. 5 STARS 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟 😁💗👍
