Windmill Point Camping Area (Murray-Sunset National Park)

The small Windmill Point Camping Area sits on the banks of the Lindsay River. Stay a night or two and explore this remote corner of Murray-Sunset National Park. Access is by 4WD in dry weather only. No fees or bookings are required.

Visitor Tips: This is a remote area with no mobile reception. Campers must be self-sufficient and carry all the water and provisions they need. Please practise minimal impact camping and observe relevant fire regulations. Fires are permitted only where fireplaces are provided and must be extinguished with water before leaving. Please bring your own firewood or a gas or electric stove or barbecue.

Campsites should be at least 20m from the river. Avoid camping under or close to large trees like River Red Gums, as branches may fall at any time and swing away from the tree. Chemical toilets are preferred. Pit toilets must be at least 100m from the water’s edge. Bury toilet paper and waste appropriately. No bins are provided – please take all rubbish home with you for recycling or disposal. Download the Lindsay, Mulcra and Wallpolla Islands Visitor Guide for more information.

Change of Conditions

Nature being nature, sometimes conditions can change at short notice. It’s a good idea to check this page ahead of your visit for any updates.

Mallee Parks & Reserves - Recent unseasonal rainfall events - Changed road and track conditions

Recent unseasonal heavy rainfall and local thunderstorms in late February have left many park, reserves and forest tracks muddy, soft and vulnerable to damage. Park users and visitors are reminded to avoid entering park and forest areas during or immediately after significant rainfall.
Driving on wet tracks can cause long‑lasting damage, making them unsafe or impassable for others and potentially affecting access for the remainder of the season. Avoiding travel in these conditions also reduces the risk of becoming bogged and prevents unnecessary environmental impact.
Your cooperation and consideration help ensure tracks remain accessible for everyone throughout the year.
