Berri is a picturesque riverside town located 238 kilometres north-east of Adelaide. The town was proclaimed in 1911 and took its name from the aboriginal tribe ‘bery bery’, meaning ‘bend in the river’. Berri is now renowned for its quality wine production and is surrounded by 3000 hectares of vineyards and orchards.
The camping area on Martin’s Bend Road offers RV parking at $5 per vehicle per night (payable to a deposit box on-site). The length of stay is negotiable; pets are allowed and bins, toilets, BBQs and covered seating is available. A dump point is also located at Martin’s Bend, and potable water is accessible at the Visitor Information Centre, located on Riverview Drive.
There is so much to do when visiting Berri, with the Riverland Farmer’s Market, held every Saturday, a must for food lovers. The markets feature fresh produce from the region, and also a range of cuisine from different countries, highlighting the multiculturalism of the area. Visitors can enjoy a picnic lunch with beautiful river views, and perhaps take the 2 kilometre riverfront walk from Berri to the camping area at Martin’s Bend.
