Hi all
Heading off in a few weeks and wondering about camping around Innamincka.
Is there camping available at Nappa Merrie station itself?
If not anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Rusty

Rusty, A few years ago I gamped along side the river at Nappa Marie Bridge, right hand side heading North, good sandy area. Turn off just after the bridge. Hope this helps.

Yep - you can camp upstream from the homestead, adjacent to the Burke and Wills bridge - fishing and yabbying well worthwhile there - you might also consider camping down by the famous dig tree itself ? Saw people doing that while I was there last - the caretakers (NM station staff) do ask for a fee but - not high as I recall. Don't forget those fly nets ........................ :-)

Hi Rusty,
I was there in early July and camped at the Dig tree camp site which is maintained by Nappa Merrie Station. It has quite a few lovely spots by the creek.
There is a $10 fee per vehicle.
There is a sign by the bridge banning camping at the bridge itself, I don't know of other locations near the bridge.
There is camping at Cullyamurra Waterhole, once again some great spots by the creek and pit toilets, also camping at Innamincka itself on the town Common.
I wish I was back there you lucky @%$#@.
Will
