A few of us with off road vans are looking for somewhere to go around Morgan or about 150km from Adelaide, we are all self contained except one new comer. He requires a toilet. we do not want a caravan park but maybe somewhere on the river.Can anyone suggest a nice spot?
PS. we are all old, around 50ish.(joke)

I don't know about the River, but GluePot is a great spot - some nice mulga track to get there and some great tracks around there, as well as a campsite that recently won an EcoTourism award.

I know of two places. The first is Cordola Station, about 9 Km south of Morgan off the Blanchetown Rd on the WEST (Adelaide) side of the river. The turnoff is near where the bitumin road turns to dirt. Take the second turn on the right and put $5/ vehicle/night in the honesty box. The tracks will take you to the river or to the lagoon. Both offer good camping. There is no firewood, so BYO. There are no dunnies either, so you will need to dig a hole.
The other is Castles Landing, 8-9 km south of Blanchetown on the Swan Hill rd on the EAST side of the river. You will see a farmhouse with lots of signs out the front. Pay your money there and pick up a key. The campsite entrance is across the road. Once again, BYO wood and dunny.

Cheers,

Trev

Hi Chips,
Why did he buy a van without a toilet then?
Why did he buy an off road van?
How 'bout he parks his van in town and visits you each day, he will soon get the Sh*ts with that and maybe see the light.

Burra Gorge has some nice camp sites and dunnies but firewood is pretty scarce. Nice walk and about 20k's from Burra. Bitumen all the way too.
