Heron Bend

Heron Bend is a free riverside camping area situated along the Murray River near Overland Corner in South Australia's Riverland region, approximately 21 kilometres from Barmera and 30 kilometres west of Berri.

Campsites spread along the river bank, with access via a road alongside the historic Overland Corner Hotel. The reserve covers around 17 hectares and sits beneath striking river cliffs that contain ancient sea creature fossils.

The area is well regarded for bushwalking, including the eight-kilometre Overland Corner Walking Trail, which passes old Aboriginal campsites. Because the campground sits on a floodplain, access can be restricted following rain or flooding events.

Dogs are permitted under effective control. The site is best suited to self-contained campers, and there is a boat ramp nearby.
