The Camp
Located in the Murraylands Region, Ankara Youth Camp is situated on the banks of the mighty River Murray, some 110 kilometres from Adelaide (approximately one and a half hours drive). The property is situated on a narrow strip of land (1.4 hectares) between the River Murray and Lake Bywater and is close to the Walker Flat ferry and public boatramp. There is direct access to lawns, river, birdlife, river red gums, river boat traffic and views of the majestic cliffs at the opposite bank.
The camp site with its comfortable facilities, is ideal for large groups who want to provide their own activities and programs, such as: family gatherings, group holiday, school or church camps, study groups, conferences and conventions. We are not a caravan park - we offer bedroom accommodation and we take one group at a time, so your group will have access to the whole site. (We will take smaller groups, but minimum charges do apply if camper numbers are smaller than the applicable minimum number.)
Whichever way you look at it, and whatever your age may be, Ankara is a great place to spend a few days!
