Hi Jo and David
The
Cooper Creek area is a great place to
camp, and will depend on where you
camp as to what you will pay.
Out at
the Dig Tree, which is inside of Queensland, you will pay $11 entry fee to visit the site, and includes the camping fee, regardless of weather you stay one or 10 nights, which is fantastic value and a great place to
camp. From
the Dig Tree, you continue out on the shortcut track and will give you access for a number kilometres where you can
camp.
When you get to
Innamincka, you will have 2 options of camping. The first option is the Town Common, which is great, a very easy walk into to town area with Pub with great meals, and a hot shower. Camping fees for the common are $5 per night, with all funds going directly back into the
Innamincka Progress Association ( all funs stay in the town). You can either pay at the store or the honesty box as you enter the Town Common area.
If you wish to
camp anywhere within the permitted
camp sites in the
Innamincka Regional Reserve, the cost is $18 per night if you do not have a Desert Parks Pass, and this money gets lost within the Government financial system.
The choice is yours, but I know where I like to
camp.
Cheers
Stephen
