The best river, stream, or creek camping in Australia

·

Pitch your tent by the water and wake up to the sounds of Australia’s rivers. Across the country, over 15,000 riverside campsites let you swap city noise for the rush of water and birdsong. You’ll find everything from secluded sandbars to grassy meadows with easy river access. Top picks like Hold It Flats (3541 reviews), Lakeview (1348 reviews), and Bushywood at Woodfordskilake (1324 reviews) attract regulars for their easy river swims, shade, and reliable facilities. Average price per night sits at $35, but you can score a spot for as low as $1 if you keep your eyes open. Campfires are allowed at many sites, and you’ll often find toilets and showers. Horseback riding, hiking, and wildlife-watching are right outside your tent flap. If you want the river at your doorstep, Australia’s camping scene has you covered.
