Karoola Station is a working family farm, lucky enough to have frontage and easy access to the Murrumbidgee River near Gundagai in NSW, halfway between Sydney and Melbourne. We are located a short 13km drive off the Hume Highway and only 45 minutes from Wagga Wagga the largest inland city in NSW. Not only is Gundagai the gateway to the Riverina but the Snowy Mountains Alpine area is within a day trip from here too, making it a great central location. We are sheep graziers, and in season, visitors can observe the newborn lambs or freshly shorn sheep. There are no amenities available, self contained camping only. Campfires permitted in designated areas when restrictions aren't in place. Please consult hosts regarding fires during dry summer months even when no fire ban in place. Good access for caravans Karoola gives you the opportunity to fish, swim, boat or kayak on the river. You can walk along the riverbank or up onto the rocky outcrop for a great view of the Murrumbidgee floodplain and surrounding farming country or perhaps you would just like to relax with a good book and drink under the huge gumtrees on the riverbank in peace and quiet. Dogs permitted (see rules).

Karoola Riverbend
Let’s start with all the positives. Lovely country outlook on a working farm, and for the October Long Weekend, the place was almost empty which was a surprise. What could be improved in my opinion, as a caravaner? * Signage / a simple direction arrow at Y intersections on the farm would make access with a caravan less stressful. * Site locations for those of us with short legged dogs would be more ideal if they were mowed / trimmed down low. Some Hipcamps do a brilliant job at keeping sites super neat and cut short, and that helps when walking around / setting up / packing down. This Hipcamp looked like the area had roughly been slashed a few weeks earlier, but the irregular slashing left the site with variable lengths of straw growth including thistles, and lots of loose straw that inevitably ends up all through the van. Even our 3 mukmats couldn’t keep the inside of the van clean. * River access is overgrown and could definitely do with regular clearing for site guests. It looked like only 1 site had clear access. * Many of the areas have dead trees, some of which are hollowed out. Lots of these trees are big, and certainly a genuine concern when camping or parking a rig near one. This is the conundrum between owners of a working farm and expectations of caravan guests paying for suitable Offgrid sites. We never met the hosts, so unable to discuss in person.

An absolutely perfect getaway, stunning huge red gums, lots of shade, and a lovely wide flowing river. Heaps of different bird sounds around as dusk settles in. If you want peace and quiet, and to relax, this is your place to be !!

Great camping spot on a nice property. Dirt track was in decent enough condition that I could get down with no issues towing a trailer, and the campsites were positioned nicely by the river. Thanks for sharing your property!

Karoola Lagoon
Our family loved camping at Karoola Station. We were fortunate to be the only ones there and stationed right by the lagoon. It was such a beautiful and peaceful location for us to unwind, fish and sit by the fire. A bonus for the kids was seeing all the farm animals up close on the drive in and out of camp.
