not sure if I am asking an impossible question but here it goes.
Looking for a
bush camping spot with the following criteria:
a) 2hrs or less away from
Adelaide
b) dogs allowed
c) not a national
park
d) fires allowed.
Thanks,

yer I thought of the Murray but not coming from a family with a shack etc I don't have any local knowledge. The drives I have done around the river have been very frustrating. You can see the dirt track and a perfect
camp site but it is fenced off as it's on private land.

There is
free camping on the eastern bank of the Murray at
Mannum. Cross the ferry turn left a few hundred metres.

Kuitpo Forest and Mt Crawford forests have
camp areas, fires from May to November and allow dogs - both within an hour of
Adelaide.

If you cross the ferry at
Morgan and turn left, once beyond the
shacks you can
camp to your hearts content opposite the SA
Water pumping station.
There is also a place called castles landing about 6k from blanchtown, on private land but great spot, costs $7 a day. Has over a k of river frontage. No facilities.
We have camped a couple times on an old stock route, near
Kulpara, near Kadina.
great winter
camp spot with plenty of fire wood. The local nosey farmer will probably come along but he is harmless.
Cheers Pesty

Agree with Castles Landing.
Also, try Cordola Station. It's on the western (
Adelaide side) bank of the Murray a few km south of
Morgan on the road to
Blanchetown. The road starts as bitumen, but turns to dirt. Just before it does is the turnoff. Go down the road for a couple of km, then enter the
gate on the right. Put your $10/night (I think) in the honesty tin.
Camp on the river bank, or near
the lagoon, or somewhere in between.
BYO wood, there's none left there. There's no dunnies either.
