Dicks Bend Campground
Last Updated Feb 2014 | Originally suggested by Peter
Dispersed bush camping by the Murray River surrounded by dense River Red Gum flood plain forest on a small island with few beaches.
Well of main roads, very distant highway noise. Prolific bird life.
Rated 4.3/5
Near the entry there is a high level riverside BBQ and table on Short Track in open River Red Gum forest, with a green short grassed and shaded bank below with a small beach - a pleasant wet weather camp.
