Somewhere to stay south of Port Augusta??

Mate, you really need to buy the free camps book.

Hi Siringo,

Have a look in Places. There are a few in the Port Pirie area like this oneat Germein Gorge

Cheers,

Val.

Mambray Creek in Mt Remarkable Nat Pk

Telowie Gorge is not far off the highway and has a reasonable camp spot that would take about 3 or 4 vehicles.

Thanks for all the help. We were heading to Birdsville but as I look at the DPTI outback roads map, just about everything up there is closed due to rain. :-(

The National Park campground at Mambray Creek is lovely. Has hot showers and flushing toilets too and well set up. It's not far off the main road. There are short and not so short walks to do too if you have the time to spare or want to stretch your legs after sitting in the car all day.

regards,
Heather

We are forever driving from Melbourne to PT Aug and back Siringo .

A couple of posts above have indicated Mambery crk in the park or the proper campground but if its a quick overnight stop you can actually park within 10m of the highway , and another 30m in is the railway line which ensures you do not need an alarm to wake up.

A dirt rd runs for 500m immediately to the east of highway , between the highway and the rail line.

Lots of trees and you often see 1/2 dozen cars in there pulled up for the night.
