Full closure of Chowilla Game Reserve

Updated: 09 March 2023

Flood waters are now reced­ing. How­ev­er, most of our wet­lands and flood­plains will remain flood­ed or inac­ces­si­ble for some time. There­fore, all camp­sites and almost all access roads/​tracks remain closed.

Chow­illa creek­side camp­sites — CLOSED
No vehi­cle access. Vis­i­tors may still access these areas by walk­ing, bike rid­ing, canoe or small boat if safe to do so. Please remain on estab­lished roads and tracks.

Bor­der Cliffs camp­ground — CLOSED
No vehi­cle access. Vis­i­tors may still access these areas by walk­ing, bike rid­ing, canoe or small boat if safe to do so. Please remain on estab­lished roads and tracks.

The Chow­illa Creek Reg­u­la­tor is now OPEN. You can now access creeks with­in Chow­illa Game Reserve with your boat through this regulator.

Ranger staff are cur­rent­ly assess­ing the dam­age and risk caused by the flood in all of our parks. The pri­or­i­ty is to fix up roads and camp­sites and have some of them open soon for day vis­it­ing only. Camp­site clean-up will take months and they will only reopen when safe to do so. Dang­gali Con­ser­va­tion Park remains open with camp­sites avail­able for book­ing.

Poogi­nook and Cooltong Con­ser­va­tion Parks are also great places to spend the day.

If you have a book­ing, please con­tact the Berri Region­al Office on 85952111 or email DEW.​RMonlinebookings@​sa.​gov.​au to request a refund or rebook for anoth­er time.
