Hey there,

Planning on heading there over easter and wondering how busy I should expect it to be. I have been there before but not on a long weekend and it was as quiet as...
Also I would welcome opinions on good campsites within the park. I'll be coming from the SA side through Taplan.

Thanks in advance

I camped one night a Pink Lakes last Easter with only two or three other vehicles there for the night. Next day we headed into the park past Rocket Lake and onto the Highway only meeting one group of vehicles on a narrow track...very quiet.

Great, thanks

Nothing worse than getting there only to find out you are stuck next to some moron who thinks he is doing everone a favour by entertaining the whole park with his stereo!!

Plenty of great camps in the Murray-Sunset but some are limited in the number of sites available.
If you have time the Hattah-Kulkyne park which is over the highway has some good camping overlooking the large sand bars along the Murray. A lot more bird life along the Murray.

The shearers quarters is good but could be busy. Mt Crozier is OK as well and Mopoke Hut looked good last time I went through there.
Haven't checked out the Pink Lakes camp site but its not far away anyway.
National Parks have a map called Mallee Tracks that covers the area well.

Pink Lakes is great Des though a bit exposed if windy, toilets, water and a huge pile of mallee roots supplied.
