The best camping near Echuca with campfires

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.

**Please be aware that for the month of November and December we will not be allowing camp fires due to risk to the crop. If no camp fire would be a disappointment (and we wouldn't blame you for being disappointed given the camp fire is the main activity!), you are best to book for outside this period. 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.

Weekend Trip to Eden Farm

The perfect farm stay! Gary is a fantastic host and takes the time to explain the property and amenities. The farm has everything you need including a swimmable dam and powered sites! We saw the most beautiful moon rise and watched a lightening storm over the horizon. Gary has incredible plans for the property and we look forward to visiting again and seeing the progress.

Great property. Tim was a good host with good communication. We camped at camp spot #5 which didn't have easy or close river access, which was dissapointing as it wasnt what was pictured in photos. Id suggested to speak with Tim specifically about what water access the specific sites have if you were too book. Would stay again though, in a spot with river access.

Gary was a terrific host he couldn’t have done anymore to enhance our stay. We are newbies to caravanning and he assisted us with anything that we were unsure of. Our grandkids especially enjoyed the cow milking process and learning all about the cow and her breeding cycles. Of course the fresh milk was an added bonus. Thanks Gary

Great camp was huge for the two of us and our dog Leo, we arrived in 38 degree heat, having the river was a life saver. We went to the swimming section lots of times and Leo our dog loved it. We drove over purely because it was so hot. Otherwise a nice 8/10 min walk from camp. Added bonus of having fire wood already at the pit and a trash can and bin bag for rubbish. Very secluded didn’t hear or see any other campers. Would definitely stay again. ⭐️

Weekend Trip to Eden Farm

Gary is an exceptional host and DIY built every comfort needed for a comfortable stay, two toilet options, hot shower, bins and we got fresh milk from a milking demonstration. Unfortunately our site was dry and dusty from the drought, but the other sites had luscious green grass under the sprinklers, however the gorgeous sunset every evening made up for that, lots of space, no mozzies just a few flies, and the local pool in Numurkah saved us on the hot days, convenient to have IGA and town just down the road

The best camping near Echuca with campfires guide

Where to go

Along the Murray River

The Murray River winds its way along the border of Victoria and New South Wales, affording plenty of options for boating, fishing, and bushwalking. Once you’ve explored the twin towns of Echuca-Moama, on opposite banks of the Murray River, set out to explore the riverside and pitch your tent or park your motorhome at one of the beach camping areas.

Barmah Lakes

A 45-minute drive northeast of Echuca, Barmah National Park sits on the shores of Barmah Lake, where you can hike through River Red Gum forests, fish for Murray Cod, and paddle along the scenic creeks. Bring your boat or canoe to explore Barmah Lake or neighbouring Moira Lake, and take your pick of several lakeside camping areas.

Murray Valley National Park

The Murray River winds its way north into the River Red Gum forests and Riverina wetlands of the Murray Valley National Park. Bushwalking, bird-watching, and paddling are the main pastimes in the park, and there are several campgrounds with tent, motorhome, and caravan sites available.

When to go

Temperatures soar in Echuca during the summer months, and the milder spring and autumn months provide more pleasant weather for river cruises and other outdoor activities. The liveliest time to visit is during one of Echuca’s annual events, such as the Southern 80 waterski festival and the Riverboats Music Festival, both in February.
