Some time ago I came across a nice little caravan
camping spot between
Renmark and
Berri, SA.
It was on the
Murray River right at the ferry crossing across to
Lyrup after you leave the Bookpurnong Road from either
Berri or
Renmark.
A
toilet is not right at
the spot but a little way up the dirt road this
camp is on.
I have Camps 4 and I am trying to match up the position and to determine if a permit is actually needed to overnight there.
I am hopeful of giving friends some GPS co-ordinates so we can meet up there.
Can anyone help with a "place" description in terms of Camps booklets and perhaps even GPS data.
Thanks in anticipation.
Cheers.

Hi Peter
We stopped overnight on the Murray in the
Lyrup Flats NP - but it was
well away from the ferry landing. Turn off was not far out of
Berri. There were
toilets, but not near where we camped. Honesty box national parks
camping fees applied. We had the place all to ourselves. Very nice.

Correction - just out of
Renmark heading towards
Berri.

Thanks Motherhen but
the spot I want is really close to where the ferry crosses. I am sure I can find it but identifying it and getting correct GPS co-ordinates will be helpful to advising my friends.

Thanks all for your help.
Whilst I cannot specifically match up the Google vs Camps 4 co-ordinates the Google visual tells me
the spot is just down the dirt track from the corner of
Lyrup Rd and Old
Lyrup Rd (dirt track).
I reckon I can also see the long drop
toilet which is a little way away from
the spot.
By Camps 4 it seems it may be Black Box or Colligans
camp ground and I can remember a couple of spots being reasonably close together with the long drop
toilet across the other side of the road and between the 2 spots.
(Just cannot match up the co-ordinates).
The information has been most helpful and thanks for the heads up on Google map.
Cheers.
