The best camping near Echuca

·

In the 19th century, the Port of Echuca was the biggest and busiest along the Murray River, and boats still ply its waters today. Whether you’re setting sail onboard a traditional paddle steamer, taking to the water to canoe, kayak, or waterski, or exploring the network of bushwalking and biking trails along the riverside—you’ll never be far from the water in Echuca. Campers can stay at a tranquil riverside Hipcamp, rent a houseboat, or check into a holiday park or caravan park with facilities such as a camp kitchen, a dump point, and a swimming pool.

Our 300-acre off-grid property backs onto the Barmah National Park. This forest, together with the adjoining Millewa forest, forms the largest River Red Gum forest in the world - it's majestic to explore. Our property is just 500 meters from the Murray River. From your camp, roughly a 1 kilometre walk through the forest. On our boundary is Backwater Creek, which fills with water when the Murray River is up. NOTE: Creek is often dry. It has water in it after environmental flows of the Murray. This can happen several times a year and the water lasts a few months. If you have any questions about water levels please ask before booking as it might be dry when you're here. We're located just 5kms north-east of Moama, where you can hop aboard a paddle-steamer, visit waterside wineries and soak up rich riverboat heritage. We offer a few large, beautiful, basic bush camping sites (the best kind!) in amongst 50 acres of bushland, with 100's of meters and trees between you and other potential campers. The rest of our property is used for cropping and sheep. Campers must take out what you bring in. Mobile phone service and internet is usually reliable, though with long weekends and summer school holidays the service seems to disappear! Completely. We suggest downloading (before leaving home) your Spotify faves and Maps for this area then you can't go wrong. *Please feel free to book anyone in your possie that is under 18 as a child.
