Located at the southern end of the park, 42 Mile Crossing is 15 minutes south of Salt Creek. It offers a large campground, accessible by 2WD and is ideal for tents, caravans and campervans. A walking trail offers access to the beach. There are some level grassed areas and semi-sheltered by low trees.
Stretching more than 130 kilometres, Coorong National Park protects a string of saltwater lagoons which are sheltered from the Southern Ocean by the sweeping sand dunes of the Younghusband Peninsula.

SITE ACCESS
The Coorong National Park is located south east of Adelaide. The southern part of the park is accessible via Goolwa, Meningie and Salt Creek off Highway 1. If you are arriving from the south, enter the park via Kingston.

Please note: GPS Co-Ordinates are approximate and provided in most cases to get you to the National Park entrance. Once inside the park there should be signs to the actual camp grounds. Failing this please check with National Parks for further directions.

THINGS TO DO
42 Mile Crossing is the closest point for 2WD vehicles to access the beach. A pleasant 20 minute walk through the sand dunes along an easily accessible walking trail from the campground rewards you with the sight and sound of the endless Southern Ocean waves rolling onto the beach. To protect the breeding site of the hooded plover, access to the beach north of Tea Tree Crossing to the Murray Mouth is closed to vehicles from 24 October to 24 December each year.

RULES
Fire restrictions apply.
The collection of firewood (either dead or alive) is prohibited.
Take rubbish home with you – if you carry it in, carry it out.
