You need to allow approximately 1.5 to 2.0 hours from Gawler heading north.

THE ROAD. Sealed to within 500 metres of the entrance; very good dirt road into site. 

POWER. There are 6 powered sites – and a few un-powered sites available.

CAMPFIRES. A campfire and camp ovens will be allowed subject to Fire Bans. Currently the fire season is due to finish on 30th April, 2010. However current thinking is that the period will be extended into May. If this is the case -gas will only be permitted. However the recreation ground has a fully set up kitchen which may be made available at a modest cost, should we require it.

FIREWOOD. If required, will need to be collected off site and brought in by road.

AMENITIES. Modern amenities block is provided.

TOILETS. There are “his” and “hers” flushing toilets.

SHOWERS. There are hot showers too!

PETS. This is a pet friendly location. “Doggy-Do” bags provided!

RUBBISH. Bins provided.

COMMUNICATIONS. Normal Telstra 3G mobile service.

ACTIVITIES. No activities have been planned for the weekend.

• Visit the Cadell Interpretative Centre and explore the local history.
• Explore the Graeme Claxon Reserve with its spectacular cliff back drop.
• Walk the Wetland Trail – currently “drylands” but still worth the walk.
• there is a short walk to the main street and other points of interest!
• The adjacent Trail threads to bird hides by the lagoon, and then onto the Murray River.

Come sit & relax with a bunch of like minded people. Check the modifications others have done to their camper trailers to make camping life all that more enjoyable. You might meet as complete strangers on the Friday evening, but will part old friends such is the camaraderie.

You do not need a camper trailer to attend. Members without a camper are more than welcome to come along & get a first hand unbiased opinion of a particular camper trailer from their owners. Come along & meet the faces behind the typing. You are also very welcome to drop in for the day.

    Please keep in mind that the group owners will not accept any responsibility for members & non-members actions during the weekend get together.

    If you decide to attend, it is solely at your own responsibility, including any side trips or outings during the weekend meet.
