Pigs Point Campground
Last Updated Jan 2015 by Bazzao | Originally suggested by Peter
A pleasant riverside flat, well grassed (mown), green and level.
Some shade from scattered River Red Gums, willows and poplars. Pleasant aspect across the river to farm land and steep hills. Rosellas, ducks and pelicans are common. May be crowded at peak periods.
Yellow Belly, trout and Murray Cod can be caught here.
The campground is pet friendly and there is easy access to the water for swimming or launching a kayak.
Caution: Very fast flowing river suitable ONLY for strong swimmers. Minors should not be allowed to swim and must be supervised at all times.
