Where to stay in the Coorong? Check out 42 Mile Crossing!
42 Mile Crossing
Nothing else says “Aussie lifestyle” more than our passion for the great outdoors. Four-wheel driving, hiking, camping, fishing, sleeping under the stars & cooking on the beach. What’s not to love!
The Coorong region in South Australia boasts “42 Mile Crossing”. The Coorong is one of the State’s most treasured destinations combining all of those elements in one location. If you are looking for what to do in the Coorong, 42 Mile crossing will tick the box for every member of the family!
Aptly named for being 70 km (42 miles) north of Kingston S.E. & 81 km south of Meningie, the popular campground area allows campers & caravanners to find their cosy niche and settle in.
It’s the closest access to the beach for 2WD vehicles, but from there 4WD’s can make the 1.5 km trek along the sandy track where the stunning beach suddenly appears before your eyes. A casual 20 min stroll is the alternative with the same reward.
Located at the southern end of the Coorong Lagoon, standing atop the dunes treats you to a Southern Ocean panorama. 42 Mile crossing is only a 45 minute car trip from Meningie and a short walk through the dunes. If you are looking at where to stay in the Coorong, Meningie is an ideal starting point for a day trip.
