Broken Hill via Mungo NP.

There's a campground at the entrance to Mungo called Main campground. It has a communal area with gas BBQ's and toilets. Sites have bollards around them (3 sides), so depending on how long your caravan is you may have trouble fitting. I had no trouble fitting a Kimberley camper trailer in. An excellent campground in my opinion.

There's showers at the visitor centre, a couple of kms from the campground

There is also a bush campground located about halfway around the lake drive, but the road is probably not suited to caravans.

The access road to the park is dirt of varying conditions. An off road van should be OK, but it might pay to check conditions before planning to go.

I found the lake drive interesting. It takes a couple of hours with sightseeing.

You can access the park from near Balranald or Mildura. To avoid back tracking, I entered at Mildura and left at Balranald.

At Broken Hill, a visit to Silverton is worthwhile. It's where the car from Mad Max is in front of the pub. There's also craft stores and galleries.

You can camp out there at Penrose Park. It's a bush setting but has facilities.

Hi Andy, where are you setting off from. There is stacks to see and do at Broken Hill, and we found two days a bit short. Many things to see and do, and a visit to the Visitor Info centre will be worth your while. The RFDS base is a must,(the kids will love it), as is Silverton, and the Pro Hart and Jack Absalom galleries. We did not do the mine tour, but have been told (by an ex-miner) that it is great.
After only having driven through the place, it was good to stop and check it out.
We came up from Wentworth, and originally wanted to go via Mungo and along the Darling to Pooncarie and Menindee, but after conflicting road reports decided not take our caravan that way. Another time for sure. Depending on your time frame, a run up to White Cliffs would be good value as well.
You should find good info on Mungo NP on this site.

Enjoy your trip.

Fred.

hey andy, do a search on Broken hill here and you'll find that there was heaps of suggestions for stuff to see around The Hill, in a reply to a post around hmmm 2-3 months ago.

There 2 campgrounds at Broken Hill one on Sydney side and one on Adelaide side, both are good, but I reckon the Sydney side one is better cause theres grass and a nice pool. Hvae a feed at the West Darling (the Publicans Grill is superb) and say gidday to Kev and Mary there from Geoff Barby. The Hill is a great place

Hi Andy,
I stayed in the Lake view Caravan Park in Broken Hill in Sept. Last year.
We have been to B'hill 5 times now and this is by far pick of the bunch for families.

As far as Mungo goes. Don't miss it. Been there 4 times and taken people several times. Everyone loves it.
We now get rooms in the old shearers quarters (actually new now as someone decided to set fire to them a while ago!!!)
rebuilt now, with new bedding and air conditioning. Camp kitchen and hot showers. Well worth the small fee.
Booking is essential.
Obviously camping is available at designated points and is good, but you can't beat the atmosphere the quarters offer.
Right next to the visitors centre and the old shearing sheds. You can still smell the sheep.

email me for any further info

Hi Andy,
We were at BH just over aweek ago. Stayed at Broken Hill City Caravan Park which was fine. Great camp kichen, close to a shopping centre and not too far from the CBD. Only downside was the traffic noise.
Stayed at Copi Hollow CP near Menindee and it was great but freezing.
We did a day trip from Mildura up to Mungo. It was an easy drive and the 70 km scenic drive was a breeze. Beyond The Wall of China it is one way.
Plenty to see in B H, Wentworth and Mildura. Pooncarie has a great little cafe near the old wharf.
Menindee to Pooncarie road was fine the day we drove it but was closed two days later due to rain. We had several reports of the Pooncarie - Mungo Rd being very rough and slow going.
Be aware of the Fruitfly exclusion zone.
B H operates on CST.
Enjoy your trip.
