About

Enjoy some time with family and friends in beautiful surrounds on the banks of the Thomson river just a stone throw from Walhalla and Erica. This area is rich with history and natural features ready to be explored, just up the road are the old Walhalla Rail Trail and historic Horseshoe Bend Tunnel.

Camping

Camp nestled amongst Eucalypt forest near the Thomson river as it flows south from Walhalla. There are limited spots in this very popular camp site which gets very busy over weekends in summer, you can continue further into the Coopers Creek recreation area to find a second overnight camping spot. Campground One, offers two sites for caravans/campervans. All other site are walk in style sites only. For vehicle based camping refer to Coopers Creek Campground Two.

Getting there

Take Walhalla Rd south of Rawson, this is quite a winding road and can get busy on weekend, from there turn onto Cooper Creek Rd. Follow then turn left onto Coopers Creek Track, please do not continue along Coopers Creek Rd as it runs onto private property. Continue straight into the Coopers Creek recreation area as Coopers Creek Track swings right to cross the River, then the camp area one is reached by taking the first left, as you hit the day visitor area.
