We are located at Brungle Creek, between Tumut and Gundagai. I currently only have the one spot on Dad's creek, Old Willow, available at the moment.
The views are spectacular and the atmosphere is the ultimate for relaxing. It's best for self-sufficient campers as there are no toilets or amenities.
There are no toilets for campers so you will need to be self-contained with your own camping toilet and shower. You are secluded from homes and the rest of the world so there is no drinking water available either, just the creek.
Campfires permitted when restrictions aren't in place. Firewood available on request, $40 bundle. It's preferred if you bring your own.
Lovely spot to relax and unwind and really connect. The night sky is incredible, lay back and gaze for hours.

The camping opportunities run all along the Murrumbidgee River, and there are a bunch of spots with grass and amazing outlooks along the river. This is a bird-watcher/photographers dream spot, as there are all manner of birds running along the river and around the camp sites - I missed the shot of a Wedge tailed eagle running along the river scaring all the cockatoos, but that is an example of the opportunities. It is a quick jaunt into town and is very quiet.

Where to go
Wagga Wagga
One of the largest towns in the Riverina, Wagga Wagga is a handy place from which to explore the Riverina as there are a variety of different camping options and lots of foodie experiences all in one place. As well as holiday parks, campers can stay at farmstays, to get an up-close experience of the Riverina’s agricultural and horticultural culture. While it’s an inland city, Wagga Wagga is on the Murrumbidgee River and has an attractive sandy river beach with shady trees, barbeque areas, and swimming spots.
Griffith
Wine enthusiasts might want to head straight to Griffith in the Riverina, a town with many wineries and cellar doors where you can sample the local drop. There are well-equipped caravan parks around the town, where you can find camping facilities for all budgets and service needs, as well as more simple, rural campsites not far from Griffith and around Lake Wyangan to the north of town.
Albury
This NSW–Victoria border town sits north of the Murray River. As well as attractions like botanic gardens, an art gallery, and kids’ playgrounds within Albury, campers in the area can also check out Lake Hulme, where the Murray River is dammed. Nature reserves are set at various points along the lake, while a holiday park sits at Lake Hume Village. As Albury and Lake Hume are on the Victoria border, this area is a good jumping-off point for exploring the nearby state parks in Victoria, such as Mount Granya and Mount Lawson State Parks.
Mungo National Park
West of most Riverina towns, the dramatic Mungo National Park is an otherworldly landscape of dry lakes, sand dunes, rocky outcrops, indigenous culture, and archeological sites. There are two campgrounds within the park, one with a range of tent, caravan, and trailer sites and facilities, while the other is more basic. This dry area is more characteristic of the quintessential Australian outback than the lush, fertile Riverina, but it’s accessible from Riverina towns, including Griffith and Hay, by travelling west along the Sturt Highway.
