About this campsite

42 Mile Crossing Campground is a spacious, grassy location nestled about 1km from a favored surf and fishing beach in Coorong National Park. The site is set back from the main road, providing visitors peace and privacy, although it's worth noting that the route can be busy with 4x4s, as one of the few beach accesses. The journey to the beach is best navigated with a 4x4, due to the trail conditions.

42 Mile Crossing Campground is a spacious grass-covered camping area, located approximately 1 kilometer from a popular surf beach that attracts many fishing enthusiasts. The site offers an ideal retreat, as quiet areas can be found away from the main road. However, be mindful that the road can be frequently used by 4x4 vehicles, notably after dark as it provides one of the few access points to the beach.
