I am lucky where we are, we go into the Murray Sunset NP around Lindsay Point - Neds Corner (Between Renmark & Mildura), and the camping is awesome, generally no-one else any where near you, no fees, no rangers, no ferals (other than cats & pigs), no noise & plenty of fish = just perfect!

$7 - $15.80 a site per family, per night.

Some include solar showers and flush toilets.

Not $19 for a bloody pit dunny.

These new fees are going to make us the most expensive in the country.
