Chowilla Campinground – Chowilla Game Reserve (CG)

This campground consists of about 27 bush campsites available along the Murray River. Suitable for a full range camping from tents to caravans, however, since there is limited facilities, it is best suited to self-sufficient style camping. Access may be dependent on weather and river levels. You can walk your dog in this park providing it remains under your control on a lead.
The Game Reserve is an integral part of the Riverland Biosphere Reserve and comprises 18,000 hectares of floodplains and wetlands. The Regional Reserve features vast stands of mallee woodland, black oak and bluebush shrublands that stretch from the floodplain through to Danggali Conservation Park and Wilderness Protection Area to the north.

THINGS TO DO
Explore Chowilla Game Reserve and Regional Reserve along the walking trails that wind through great stands of the majestic river red gum and the hardy black box. Discover the peaceful waterways of the River Murray by canoe and observe the diverse birdlife. The Murray River is an Australian icon. More than a hundred years ago, paddle steamers used to venture up and down the length of the river, transporting agricultural produce to and from riverside townships. These days, you can enjoy the waters and surrounding wilderness by paddling your canoe through the serene backwaters or exploring the many walking trails that wind themselves through the parks. The abundant birdlife provides a perfect addition to the region’s tranquil setting.
