Swanport Wetlands SA

​​ Access is down a dirt track on the north side of the Princess Highway at the lookout turn-off on the east side of the Murray River. The wetlands do not always have water in them despite being next to the river, in which case there is always the woodland and the river itself to bird around.

Camp rating 2 it is under the busy freeway bridge, this is not an established campsite
