Camping

I just read tent camping very crowded during school holidays and very noisy ..cheers

Mmmm - same anywhere along the Murray.

We free-camped on the north side of Lake Bonney on the October long weekend.....couldn't leave here (Kadina) till after mid-day Saturday and got there late afternoon.

As expected, it was busy and not many spots left. However, we found a spot near the water and set up camper.

Not only was the crowd of (city?) people REALLY LOUD....there was fighting and loud music well beyond midnight.

However, even worse than that was the stench of rotting fish!!! People just catch the carp there and chuck them in the grass just out of the water. It was disgusting!!!!

We got up early on the Sunday morning (around 0600), packed-up without eating and took off as quick as we could.

What a total shame to see this beautiful site in such a state and being frequented by such a loud and inconsiderate bunch of mongrels.

Sorry Roachie for bad experience , it confirms what I have read .We used to go there as kids and it was fantastic spot . But seems humans are spoiling it , the Possums must have moved out , that was a highlight as kids to see them at night ...times are a changing ..cheers Stephen

Yes Be nice to camp on River around Renmark .I have been to Hogwash Bend nice spot but many people there even though it was not School Holidays .Please feel free to give some details Thanks Stephen .P.S.
