Welcome to

Clayton Bay Riverside Holiday Park

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Situated on the banks of the River Murray, Clayton Bay Riverside Holiday Park is a tranquil, relaxing tourist destination. Located in the small, peaceful riverside town of Clayton Bay, just one hour’s drive from Adelaide, and 12 km up-river from the historic river port town of Goolwa.

Nestled on the shores of a picturesque bay, surrounded by shady trees and abundant birdlife, our park is a small, family owned and operated business. We offer a range of accommodation options for travellers and holiday makers, including powered and unpowered sites, two onsite ‘retro’ caravans and our luxury Boatman’s Cabin.

From the young-in-age to the young-at-heart, our beautifully maintained holiday park has something for everyone.

Our modern and well-equipped camp kitchen is not only very functional, but beautifully presented and very comfortable. With total seating capacity of 46, this wonderful communal space is the perfect place to gather with family and friends during your camping trip or caravan club getaway. Creature comforts include a large screen TV, ceiling fans, retro two player game machine, vending machine and for the cooler months, a cosy combustion fireplace.

With the Murray river as our backyard, Clayton Bay Riverside Holiday Park is the ideal location for water-based activities. The river and surrounding sheltered bays offer exceptional kayaking, canoeing, sailing, motor boating, water-skiing or wakeboarding. Conveniently, kayaks and stand-up paddle boards can be hired within the park from our side business Clayton Bay Stand-Up Paddle Board and Kayak Hire.

Along the shoreline exists two shallow, protected bays with sandy river floor beneath, offering a safe swimming area for even the youngest of travellers, whilst anglers both big and small can take the opportunity for a spot of fishing.

Nature lovers will appreciate the abundant birdlife, stunning sunsets, waterside walking trails and the warmth of your own private campsite fire in the cooler months. Fire pits are available for hire for the small fee of $10 per stay.  For your convenience firewood is available to purchase.

Fantastic little hidden gem with spectacular views across the bay. This is a nature lovers paradise with so many different varieties of bird life and amazing sunsets. Danny and Claire made our stay very enjoyable and they have constructed probably the best camp kitchen I have used in many years of travelling. We will be back for sure!
