Lovely peaceful spot, it was extremely hot but one of our group could get down close to the river in their off road van and we were able to sit under the willow tree which was great. We had to leave our van up top which was level. Michelle was very helpful and directions were spot on. Would recommend.

We loved our stop at Michelle’s, especially having the place to ourselves, it felt like we were miles away from anywhere! We set up at the top of the site and put out our table and chairs under the trees by the river, as we wouldn’t have got the van in easily, the view and breeze was perfect. The dog (Labrador puppy) had a ball, couldn’t keep him out of the water! We would definitely visit again and have already recommended it to several friends who camp.

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.

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!
