camping Cooper Creek

With the normal Cooper Creek camping area on the left side of the track probably swamped by now, the next best place is probably on the northern side of the Cooper Creek at the ferry crossing site on the loop road through Etadunna Station property.
The Birdsville Track itself is flooded and you will need to use the ferry if you are heading further north, towards Mungerannie and Birdsville.
No permission is required to camp there as it is a designated camp site, but of course you would need to cross over on the ferry to reach it.
You can also camp on the southern side however, if your combined rig and camper is too long for the ferry.
The Cooper Discovery Cruises boat is also operating from this spot at present and we paid our $50 and had a 2 hour cruise with some very informative facts and history. Don't expect to be there on your own, but you will have a great stay anyway.

PS: Take along a fishing rod or two for some great tasting Yellowbelly. (Callop)
We used a standard paternoster rig (2 hooks above sinker) baited with red meat and filleted and skinned the fish before cooking.

Enjoy your trip, its a great part of our Country.
