Hi to all.....A group of 6 or more with campervans are plannig a long weekend away ,we plan to stay on the
Murray River at a
camping ground with
toilet facilities. We would prefer to
camp in the bush but at a last resort a caravan
park would do .My question is ..are there any great spots that fit this criteria....all suggestions would be welcomed
Regards....Tvanmick

The Murray is a very long river, maybe letting readers know the general area you are thinking off will generate a more quality reply.

Not only that but just to complicate things it should be noted that there are several Murray Rivers...but I suppose we can assume its THE
Murray River.

There are hundreds of
places along the Murray to
camp starting at Lake Hume right through to
Goolwa in Sa.
Just pick a starting point on the river and follow it.
Call in at a tourist info place and get a map. Easy as. Then you can pick your own spot.
Wife and I followed the Murray and camped free at many spots for a total of 2 months with never more than 3 days in the one place.
Man just EXPLORE and enjoy.

Stantons Bend camp area,
Murray River Reserve near Rutherglen is temporarily closed due damage caused by recent heavy rains.

Just a few km south of
Morgan SA on the
Blanchetown road (western side of the river) - a property has
bush camping along a few km of riverfront.... there is a sizeable
billabong too. Known as Cordola - you can let yourself in and pay at the
gate on an honesty basis - the farmhouse is adjacent to the
gate. Take some wood but - quite a pleasant place - no facilities. Its close enough to
Morgan to scoot in for whatever you may need.

Take the River Road along the Hattah
Kulkyne National
Park, plenty of beautiful spots along there - that is south east of
Mildura. Was great there for my first bushcamping with our outfit.

you can drive to manum and go across the ferry and then turn right drive past the
shacks and you will see a large
camping ground there are
toilets there but no showers good place right on the river front good fishing, and the good thing is if you run out of amber you just jump in your car and go back across the ferry and your in manum in a few minuts all free.
