1. Bimbimbi River Camp

99%

(342)

65km from Thredbo · 11 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Tintaldra, VIC

Bimbimbi is located at the free flowing, clear beginning of the Murray River, at Tintaldra. We have 5 separate sites. Each site is for a single group, so you know you will only have yourselves in close proximity. Each site has access to the river, although The Fishing Hole, River Red Gums and The Big Bend have better access than The Willows and The Old Pump Hole. Swimming, fishing for Murray Cod, hiking along the river bank (we have 3km of frontage), bird watching, relaxing are typical things to do here. Or, if you are more adventurous, borrow our canoes and do a down river trip, or go for a longer hike up Pine Mountain in the Pine Mountain National Park. Or, bring your mountain or road bikes and do some cycling on the picturesque roads and trails. The campsites are well spaced out, with a minimum of 200 metres between the nearest two locations. In fact, it either impossible or very difficult to see anyone else at the other camp sites from your own camp site. Each camp site is accessible via its own track, so you won't have other vehicles driving past your camp site. We have a Leave No Trace policy, please take all rubbish with you. (This also means not throwing bottles, cans, bottle tops, aluminium foil and other non-biodegradable items into the camp fire.) Dogs are allowed, but please keep them under control, particularly if near cattle. Campfires are allowed only in braziers provided, when fire bans are not in place. You can gather your own firewood or purchase firewood from us (see "Extras"). Please arrive before dark if you haven't been here before. It is difficult to understand a new camp site in the dark. We provide a toilet at each location, for your convenience and the cleanliness of the camp site in general. Nothing but your human deposit and toilet paper in the toilet please. No disposable wipes, nappies etc. Please put these in your trash. Also, bring your drone but use it only over locations that are not occupied. We have canoes to borrow, seasonal produce is available from the garden and our own beef and local lamb is also now available. And, again, wood for purchase if you don't want to gather your own. Please see "Extras" We are open from October to April.

There is a lookout at the top and can recommend Miss Heides Austrian Restaurent. Amazing authentic home cooked bavarian meals in a rustic log cabin with a fireplace. The Murrumbidgee River is just about 4 klms away, where you can enjoy a picnic along it's banks and take a dip if it's warm enough. We prefer campers who are fully self contained. Campers must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. There is an outside basic toilet that is a compost type with sawdust and is cleaned regularly.

Now the dream has been realised and we are living in our new home, on our farm, with our small herd of Angus cows. We knew Nariel was special but we continue to discover its myriad of offerings for those who love the great outdoors. We look forward to sharing what we have discovered with our visitors. About Nariel: Wildlife abounds here, with wombats, emus, and kangaroos roaming the property and the list is endless for bird-watching enthusiasts.

Nariel was a thriving community during the gold rush, at that time there were 4 schools and a pub in the valley. Historical relics and gold can still be found. Panning in the creek and tributaries can be a rewarding pastime. The Nariel Creek provides a great spot to cool down in summer and is fast-flowing for a fun float through rapids.

3 nights at Nariel Creek Farm Stay

Paula and her husband (whose name escapes me) were wonderful hosts, Paula pointed out some other nice camping spots for me around the area and some walks on the property and through the forest to do. Access to the creek was a little difficult but that was mainly due to the long grass and me worrying about snakes with my dog. Easy access just down the road though. Great shelter and amenities and the views were amazing with the changing light and clouds. My dog was very welcome and he loved walking around the farm and seeing the cows. The whole area is beautiful and definitely worth a visit.

Outstanding, we have never had a better camping experience, private, quiet and so comfortable.. The shelter meant we could enjoy ourselves in any weather. Being able to have a hot shower every day using the clever little set up over the fire was just bliss. The hosts are lovely and have provided so much to make guests comfortable. Toilet, shower, solar lighting, bbq and cooking utensils, sinks with running water, huge table to enjoy a meal around and 3 diferent fire areas. We so appreciated that our dog was welcome and he loved his walks around this beautiful property (leashed, there is cattle, kangaroos and wombats) and then relaxing in our huge fenced site. The creek across the road was gorgeous, shallow enough im spots for paddling, deep enough in others to swim. We just parked ourselves there every day on a picnic rug for the entire day. We stayed for a week but could have stayed so much longer looking at the clear starry sky each night.

Really enjoyed our stay here, nice and private (you can see the house but it's far away) and there are great views of the valley. Very friendly hosts, toilet and donkey shower very good. Creek was a bit too chilly for us but must be great to swim in in summer. Definitely recommend to all.

I provide clean linen and blankets and quilts. A fur throw for the colder nights.

It was a lovely place to stay for a few days. There’s some nice dirt road drives around the place. We drove up to a snow cabin and a beautiful deer jumped in front of the car for a minute and looked back at us as it passed by. The fire places were fantastic. Hot water was a bit tricky to organize so we didn’t bother with a shower. Lots of good dry places to hang out if it rained.

Weekend Trip to Nariel Creek Farm Stay

A big thanks to Paula and Pat for an amazing stay over the weekend. Paula checked in with me before the trip (as she was away) and Pat met me on the day. There was a (very pretty) thunderstorm on my first night but it didn’t matter to me as I was undercover and could still enjoy the space. I loved sitting by the fire and reading the weekend away. The amenities are amazing - the drive in is easy (off a bitumen road) and I made it with ease in my Tarago (no 4wd) . Amazing birds all around and the rosella’s are very friendly.

Weekend Trip to Kosciuszko Base Camp

My son loves the bunk bed. It was a nice and quite place to rest after a whole day of activity in snow mountains.

3 nights at Nariel Creek Farm Stay

My family and I recently stayed at The Shelter for 3 nights, fantastic time. Very well setup the extra space it afforded us when it rained was really handy and would be the same from the sun in summer I assume. a Number of fire spots and hot water can be boiled over one of them which was great for dishes and shower if you need it. The creek was real nice to walk along and as there is private access some distance from the nearest bridge very private. Oh and there is gold in the creek my son found a little while panning. Will be back.

3 nights at Nariel Creek Farm Stay

A very quiet spot in a beautiful location. Great setup to be under cover, especially in winter to keep the frost off the swags. Table, sink, fire pit, toilet, solar lights and an awesome aspect up and down the valley. Around a 4 hour round trip to see snow. Would highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Rainbow Pines Tourist Park

We booked a powered site (#5) and stayed in our own campervan. The site itself was on a slope which made it a bit challenging to level off. They have bbq facilities, toilets and heated showers, laundry, dry room, family room with a bath, communal fire pits around the property and a boat ramp. They are dog friendly as well. The lake is at 40% capacity at the moment and you can see how far the water had retreated. The views are amazing and it was lovely to learn a bit about the local history. Lots of great fishing spots as well as walking spots

Great place to stay. Plenty of space and the kitchen is amazing. It is fully stocked with oven, microwave and fridge as well as cutlery and crockery. There were a couple of broken locks in the amenities but nothing major.

The best camping near Thredbo with showers guide

Where to go

Thredbo-Perisher area

This area has three mountain resorts: Thredbo, Perisher, and Charlotte Pass. Skiing, snowshoeing, and ice climbing take over in winter, and alpine hikes, mountain biking, and historic sightseeing reign supreme in spring, summer, and fall. Stay in a luxurious lodge featuring an indoor fireplace, TVs, a fully equipped kitchen, fresh bed linens, and views of Lake Jindabyne. Or opt for a charming cottage with full bathrooms, outdoor furniture to lounge on, and AC to keep cool on hot days. Tent campers and caravanners can also find multiple campgrounds offering toilets, picnic tables, and BBQ facilities.

Yarrangobilly area

The biggest highlight of this area is Yarrangobilly Caves—six lofty limestone caverns that make an unforgettable experience, whether viewed on a guided tour or explored solo. Come back above ground and warm up with a dip in the natural thermal pool. Anglers can easily drop in a line when staying in riverside campgrounds with picnic tables, BBQs, and toilets. They welcome swags, tents, camper trailers, and caravans. Or rent a guest room in a heritage home with electricity, a kitchen, full bathroom, and a lengthy porch for sipping coffee.

Lower Snowy River area

Get wet and wild on a whitewater-rafting adventure, conquer a cross-country mountain-bike tour, or head to scenic lookouts with valley views when visiting the Snowy River area. Several campgrounds are on-site and have pitches for swags, tents, and camper trailers, but bigger motorhomes need to find accommodation elsewhere. Standard amenities like picnic tables, BBQ areas, and toilets are common, but more remote campgrounds have rugged settings. Keep an eye out for wallabies, ‘roos, and emus that wander around throughout the day.

When to go

July and August have the best snowpack in Thredbo. When spring arrives in November, colourful wildflowers and fresh foliage transform the snowy landscape. Combined with slightly cooler temperatures, it’s a great season for hiking, biking, and sightseeing. The hotter summer weather makes that a prime time for getting soaked from head to toe on a whitewater-rafting tour or lounging on a lilo in the Snowy River. As autumn approaches and the temperatures cool off again, anglers can cast rods for the last time before the cold sets in.
