This free campground in Murray Valley Regional Park offers impressive views of Murray River from your tent, campervan or Caravans, and offers plenty to keep everyone busy and having fun. Enjoy a walk along the river, mountain bike ride at the nearby Five Mile mountain bike trail, or a spot of birdwatching.
