This site provides you with a large flat, private and secure resting spot for a large group. It also has many options for fishing, boating and access for swimming. Sit on the same banks as the First Peoples of the River Murray and look for clues of their history. This River Murray floodplain was cleared to be a fruit block is slowly being restored back. Now being restored to its former fruitful floodplain glory. Revegetation is underway to provide more shade and restore the site. Site now includes a compostable toilet!We have an amazing rare spot where you can sit right on the Murray River bank and fish.  You can set up a tent within metres of the rivers edge or park your caravan/RV within 20 metres.  You will have a secluded, quiet spot for you to enjoy with your friends and dog.  Main town is only 2.5km away - good dog walking distance.    Located on the mighty Murray River, this campsite has a cleared flat fruit block with 200 metres of exclusive Murray River frontage and limited shade.  Murray River National Park is divided into six separate areas and our region features two: the Lyrup Flats, 2,000 hectares along the floodplain on the northern side of the river. It provides wonderful opportunities for birdwatching and fishing. The Lock 4 and Eckert Creek area is a significant waterway that flows through the National Park and provides great canoe adventuring. Pelicans and other water birds, possums and kangaroos are common sights. You will need to be self contained with own water supply and camping toilet/shower amenities. Pets on leashes are welcome. Campfires are permitted when a fireban is not in place. This campsite offers a good fishing spot for native fish. There are many fantastic places to visit nearby including the Riverland Wine Centre, 3 km to the National Parks, 5 km to canoes & boat hire facilities and 4km to the township of Berri for all your supplies.

Murray River Retreat
Tranquility on the river bank
This was a great base to explore the Riverland area and chill by the river. It’s a lovely flat spot and definitely a plus to have the innovative compost loo. The night sky was magical and it isa beautiful, secluded and peaceful spot on the Murray.

Murray River Retreat
What a beautiful location on the bank of the Murray River- birds, moon risers over the water, trees and stars. Warm and helpful hospitality from Michelle and her extended family. Very easy access but private and secure on their land. Perfect for a self contained camping/ caravanning getaway. Value for money.

Michelle’s campsite is very well situated near Berri. We camped right on the river bank with the sound of the river right by the tent. It’s a few minutes drive by car to Berri or about 2 minutes by boat if you really want running water! However the toilet onsite is more than adequate for camping. It’s a lovely spot tucked down off the road. You feel secluded but connected because the Berri cell tower is line of sight about 2km away. You can put your boat in at Berri and then moor it literally alongside your camping spot on the riverbank. Easy access to the water and plenty of shade. Just really lovely!
