General comments
The Salt Creek area comprises three main camping areas located between the Coorong and the Princes Highway on a loop road (gravel) that takes in Tee Tree Crossing. There is a parking area a short distance in from the highway which has a number of picnic tables, a windy loo and is a good spot to set off on a couple of well defined bushwalks which are clearly marked on the information board. The access road to all sites is located approximately 50 metres East of the Salt Creek Roadhouse on the south side of the Princes Highway. It is well signposted.
