We're looking for a camp between Birdsville and Innamincka. EO places has Marianna Waterhole as a possible camping spot. It's also a bit better positioned along the track than Cadelga. Has anyone camped there, or been told that they are not welcome? Tricorner burrs get a good run as a nuisance at Cadelga, presumably the same when camping anywhere along the road?

Dont know the name, and not 100% sure of where it is, but we found a camp in cooper creek pretty sure it was on our way to birdsville but might not have been on the track from innaminka.
It had a flushing toilet, couldnt believe it and plenty of space. There was even an outside tap with a hose attached.

We found a spot on the banks of a dry creek south of Cordillo. No prickles. The wind did come up and it was pretty dusty

I remember someone telling me that they had camped just outside of the Cordillo Downs property (southern side). Also where the road crosses Montkeleary Ck - near the turn of to Arrabury Rd.

.
We have camped overnight just off the Cordillo Rd in, or adjacent to, a dry creek. A little north of the homestead as I remember. It was a few years back.
Good spot, sheltered and no prickles that I recall.
I recall that there were a few similar spots along the track.
Cordillo Rd camp.

Cordillo Rd camp.

If you take the Arrabury Road you can camp at Haddon corner. No facilities when we were there, but worth a look. Just a couple of low dunes on a firm track on the way in.

Thanks Wildmax, that's something to consider, I was going to discuss with the party the option of Haddon Corner. That would tick off the three of them in the one trip.
