Bruces Bend Campground
Last Updated Feb 2014 | Originally suggested by Peter
Dispersed bush camping on pleasant grassed beaches by the Murray River surrounded by flood plain forest - River Red Gums, billabongs and swamps.
Odd BBQs and tables have disappeared = no facilities. Very distant traffic noise. Prolific bird life and occasional cattle grazing.
Rated 4.2/5
Beaches, from the left, west, upstream (distances from the T junction) are:
* Sharps, via Bruces Track and Sharps Track 3k, track deteriorates near end
* Bruces Beach No 2 north off Bruces Track 2.3k, small dispersed sites
* Bruces Beach No 1 north off Bruces Track 1.8k, dense immature Red Gums
* Zinettis No 2 north off Zinettis Track 1k, large beach, little shade
* Zinettis No 1 north off Zinettis Track 1.5k, small level area and beach but there are many riverside high-level sites (without beach) along Black Hole Tk to the south.
