Hettner Landing

Hettner Landing is a free campsite on the banks of the Murray River, situated about 3 kilometres west of Walker Flat in South Australia via Walker Flat–Mt Pleasant Road.

The site sits beneath generous tree cover and offers multiple spots to camp right alongside the river, with sunrise and sunset views across the water.

The area is well suited to fishing, birdwatching, and swimming, and nearby Lake Bywater adds further wildlife-watching opportunities. Facilities include a flushing toilet and picnic tables, and the site is pet friendly.

Because the ground is notably dry and hard, campers are advised to bring alternative tent-anchoring solutions rather than relying solely on pegs. Public toilets are also available approximately one kilometre away near the local ferry crossing.
