    A working cattle farm with beautiful Poll Hereford cattle roaming the 160-acre block. The Marne River flows down through the block with ancient indigenous canoe trees dotted along the river which flows for approx 10 months of the year. Walk to the the top of the block for 180 degree views of Eden Valley and surrounds. Your booking will give you exclusive rights to camping, so no need to worry about noisy neighbours! Canoe Trees and the Marne River Take a stroll along the river, looking for canoe trees. First Nations people of the lower Murray River formerly made large canoes from the bark of Red Gum trees. They used canoes to transport goods and move long distances along the river system. The Marne River in southeast South Australia starts below Eden Valley at an elevation of 366m and ends at an elevation of 5.06m flowing into the River Murray. The Marne River drops around 361m over its 69.5km length. https://www.acmi.net.au/works/111350--aboriginal-canoe-trees-of-the-murray/ History of Eden Valley The land of the Ngadjuri People, Traditional Owners of the Eden Valley region. South Australia’s beautiful Eden Valley, known as the garden of grapes and gums, is one of Australia’s premier cool climate wine regions characterised by its rugged beauty and varied topography. Eden Valley was named by the surveyors of the area after they found the word "Eden" carved into a tree. The beautiful rolling hills of the region create a natural diversity in mesoclimate determined by altitude, aspect and slope, which also naturally impacts the soil type. It is therefore critical to match the correct grape variety and site. Overall, the region is characterised by cooler conditions than its famous neighbour, the Barossa Valley, and as such the final stages of ripening and harvesting take place in cooler temperatures. Eden Valley wines are distinctive in their character, displaying wonderful aromatics, elegance, complexity and finesse. Eden Valley shares a proud German heritage with it's neighbour the Barossa Valley, collectively known as the Barossa region. English and German immigrants settled here in the early to mid-19th century, establishing the township in the 1860s. With a wine-making history dating back to 1847, Eden Valley is home to some of the world’s oldest Shiraz and Riesling vineyards. We are a family of 5 with 3 children who love to explore and learn about the history of the places we visit. So, we hope you enjoy this little snippet! CFS Fire Ban 2024 starts NOVEMBER 15th 2024 and ends APRIL 30th 2025 no campfires between these dates. BBQs and other cooking methods information can be found here https://www.cfs.sa.gov.au/warnings-restrictions/restrictions/what-can-i-do-what-cant-i-do/ Please note - we have made the tough decision to list this individual property FOR SALE, camping will continue until sold and possibly ongoing depending on if the new owners wish to continue. Please continue to love this place as much as we have!You will have exclusive use of the block for your booked stay. The price reflects exclusive use. Stay and explore, let the kids play in the creek and make bark boats or head into the Barossa and fill your day with the many activities available. Chocolate factory, wineries, bowling, swimming, hikes, bike riding etc Due to lack of summer rain in 2024, it is very dry at the moment. Fingers crossed for some summer autumn rains soon to fill the dams and get the creek flowing!

    The entire site was left to us alone. It was a great experience. So calm and peaceful. There was no interruptions whatsoever.

    Loved to camp near the old gum tree

    We loved to camp near the old gum tree. It was a quiet and peaceful weekend. We would have loved to see the cattle, but they must've been in another paddock. There was no water in the creek, but lots of fire wood. We were unlucky with the weather, but it gave us a reason to return one day.

    Picturesque expansive camping gem!
    Tent
    Beautiful spot to camp. Panoramic scenic views. Rolling hills and a sense of being completely away. Huge gorgeous gum trees. Loved that currently only one group available per booking. We really appreciated the privacy and peacefulness. Although we didn't meet them, Rachael and Mark were both so helpful to communicate with.
