Murray River

Hi Tatia,

I assume you mean Feb 2014.

There are many places along the river where camping is available, some free (but with no amenities) and others requiring a small fee. Generally, animals are OK, unless you are in a National Park, in which case, no animals allowed.

A very good publication is Camps 7 which shows available camp sites along the Murray as well as all over the rest of Australia.
This book is available from the ExplorOz Shop, as well as Automobile Associations in each State and many map/book shops.
Used in conjunction with State maps of NSW, Victoria and South Australia, you can follow the river route, identifying the many towns along its banks and then look them up in Camps 7 book.
Note: The spiral bound version is the most practical to use.

G'day Tatia, make sure you stay at Jinjellic on the Mighty Murray, free camp, dogs OK, old bush pub backs onto the camp area, hot pay showers, clean toilets, not much else - but perfect!! Lotsa stars, not lotsa people, a great place to stay, I do regularly as I don't live that far from there, I am the lucky one! hoo roo

hi taia
Keep an eye on weather conditions as feb is the fire season in that area, would not like to be in the area when a fire starts.

There is also a series of books called 'River Murray Access' that show all the tracks along the river with camping areas marked. I see that they are currently on sale in the EO shop.

I live in Echuca on the Murray. I'm not sure about camping, but a few extra animals won't be noticed during the summer months!
Last year I participated in the Murray Meander. We put our tinnies in upstream of Corryong and travelled down to Echuca. This year the Meander went from Echuca to Mildura. Next February it goes from Mildura to the sea. It is a great way to see the river, and the small towns along the way.
