Whether you’re looking for a weekend getaway from the city or a rural retreat by the riverside, the lively town of Murray Bridge sits on the banks of its namesake river, just an hour’s drive from Adelaide. Getting on the water is top of the agenda, so hop aboard for a river cruise, rent a boat, or go wakeboarding and waterskiing. Next, head to the Sturt Reserve to enjoy bushwalking and bird-watching, go biking or karting at the Bend Motorsport Park, or tee off at the Murray Bridge golf course. Campers have plenty of options to choose from, too. Check in to a holiday park or caravan park, which provide powered sites, an onsite dump point, and family-friendly amenities such as a camp kitchen or a swimming pool. Or, opt for a tranquil riverside campground or a rural Hipcamp, where you can pitch your tent or park your motorhome away from the crowds.
