Hi all,
Does anyone know of a
free camp spot right on the Murray between
Wellington &
Murray Bridge please?
Thanks,
Dave

You'll be lucky........this is the prime dairy swamp region of the Lower Murray.
Cattle are more important than campers!
Try asking the Rural City of
Murray Bridge for their campsites/advice.
You may have to go north of
Murray Bridge to Avoca Dell.
Cheers

Thanks Rick,
I know Avoca Dell quite
well, but didn't know you could
free camp there. Do you mean right at Avoca Dell or close by? If close by, would you mind giving directions,
Cheers,
Dave

The closest free camps are at
Narrung which lies south of
Tailem bend at the mouth of
Lake Albert or on the western bank of the Murray at the
Mannum Ferry Crossing.

Dave, we traversed this area on a trailerable yacht during April/May '04. From what we could see from the water its either willow thickets, some swamps and heaps of "keep off, private property" signs on the banks. I don't think you'd find any
free camping spots, accessible from the shore. Camping on a boat is the way to go, just tie up to some willows for the night :-0
