Hi Folks,
Has anyone stayed at the
Pooncarie caravan park lately? Is it ok?
Is it viable for day trips into Mungo?
Any info appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon W

There is a reasonably good camping ground adjacent to Mungo. No more than a minute or two away from the Park.
Check previous posts for more info and
feedback. You could also stay at
Wentworth or
Mildura. It is an easy day trip - providing there hasn't been too much rain in the area. You can always
check with N/Parks at Buronga, just over river into NSW, before heading out there.

Jon, I have not stayed at the
Pooncarie Caravan Park, but it takes about 1 1/2 hours to get to Mungo from there via the
Top Hut road.
That road turns off the
Pooncarie -
Wentworth road about 20 Kms on the
Wentworth side of
Pooncarie. then about 65 Kms to Mungo from there.
That road, in my many experiences going along there, is always in better condition than the
Arumpo Road out of Buronga.
Pooncarie always looks a really neat and clean town, so I can only imagine the park would be similar. It would only be quite small though I would imagine.
General Store/Fuel and the Telegraph pub in
Pooncarie. I have heard recent reports of some good fish being caught there around
Pooncarie.
As stated in other posts though, there are a few camping options at Mungo.

Caravan park is good to stay in. You can also
camp anywhere along the river down from the caravan park. The showers are coin operated for $1.
Quite suitable for day trips to Mungo.
