Coongie Lake camping area
Campsite
This wonderfully remote wetland is birdwatching heaven, with a stunning array of waterbirds and raptors. There’s a choice of idyllic lake-front campsites and unlimited scope for canoeing, photography and nature walks.Camping is dispersed along the shore of the lake, with a choice of private shady campsites. When the Cooper is flowing and the lake is high, the water comes right up to the trees. The birdlife among the trees, bushes and reeds along the lakeshore is truly amazing. There is a 4WD track that skirts the lake to the south and gives access to a variety of campsites and some stunning scenery, with orange sand dunes tumbling to the waters of the lake. Access is via the 4WD-only Coongie Track, 106 km north-west of Innamincka. A permit is required and you need to bring water and a stove. As this camping area is within Coongie Lakes National Park, no fires, pets, fishing, generators or powerboats are allowed.
