This campsite was absolutely perfect for our stay. Leah, the host, was extremely friendly and accommodating, which made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The view was spectacular, and we loved how private and peaceful the campsite felt. We also fell in love with their gorgeous older kelpie, Coco, who got along beautifully with our dog — such a sweet highlight of the trip. The amenities were excellent and everything was clean and well set up. The location is also very convenient, being close to Wagga Wagga while still offering a quiet, rural feel. We highly recommend this campsite and would happily stay again.

We loved tent camping at site 2. Leah met us as we arrived and was incredibly helpful in showing us where our site was and pointing out where the amenities were. We really appreciated how accomodating Leah was to our individual needs. Our camping setup is primitive, but Leah offered us more permanent shelter when a big storm rolled through during our stay. Use of the pool and interactions with the farm animals were added bonuses. We couldn't be more grateful and highly recommend that everyone stays here when visiting the region.

Amazing location, the views of the hills and farmland were beautiful, at night you can see Wagga Wagga town lit up in the distance, plenty of space to set up, we had a 22ft van no problem, Leah was great and she has all your needs covered if required. Would definitely recommend, only 20 minutes out of town.

I don't think we could have found a better spot to spend 2 nights. The river gums are huge and the lawns under them are beautifully maintained. CSU and Estella shops are a short drive.

It was our first time doing an off grid stay in our caravan and it was the perfect spot to do so! We were lucky enough to have a massive space to ourselves, which was well taken care of. Our two kids had a blast as well. Would definitely come back again!!

4 nights at Palm Cove On The Murrumbidgee

Camping at palm cove on the murrumbidgee was beautiful. We cooked camp ovens on the fire and paddled kayaks and paddleboards on the river. We watched the sunset and enjoyed the spring days sun watching birds during the day and possums at night. Nandine and her husband were lovely and checked we had everything we needed and were comfortable. Would definitely stay again. We were 2 families with kids aged 4-10. Note *This spot wouldn't be ideal if your kids can't swim or don't have any river sense as keeping them away from the river would be very hard.
