Merbein Common River Access 8 is a dispersed bush camping area along the Murray River near Mildura, managed by Parks Victoria. The site accommodates caravans and tents among river red gums and black box woodland, with direct river access. The broad river is maintained by locks, providing opportunities for fishing and birdwatching, with waterbirds, cockatoos, galahs and parrots commonly observed. Camping is free with a limited number of level sites available along the sandy riverbank in relatively quiet surroundings.
