Bindara on the Darling campsites

We loved our stay at Bindara on the Darling. Easy access for our caravan. Camp sites are a great size with plenty of space to spread out. Although we were fully self sufficient, having the ensuite was absolutely wonderful. Bindara is rich in history, antique artifacts on the property all have their own stories.

Stunning location and hospitality

6 m travel trailer ·

Bindara Station is a remote location on the Darling River and the journey of getting there is part of the experience. It is a beautiful location on the river with good facilities for camping and staying for a short while with great hosts who make you very welcome. This was an our second time there and Barb and John did not disappoint with their hospitality. They enjoy talking about the location and history of the station and area - which is amazing. A place to unwind and relax in beautiful surroundings. Thanks Barb and John. We will be back at some time.

A little piece of paradise

We were looking forward to 3 days at Bindara as a time to chill and relax during our travels. We could not have chosen better! The property is lovely and Barb was a fabulous host. A couple of issues with the shower and water but quickly sorted - and this is camping not 5 star!

Lovely property to camp at, right on the Darling River. A bit of a trek to get there along a long dirt road whichever direction you come from, but the road was in very good condition given it was dry.

Great set up of sites overlooking the Darling, with bathroom facilities. A real park of Australian outback history. Welcoming and great hosts who made our stay special. Certainly, plan to return.

Perfect oasis in the outback

What a beautiful property to stay on, everything about it was perfect for a relaxing stay in the outback. Hosts Barb and John were the most amazing people and if you are lucky to be invited for dinner you won’t go hungry or thirsty! John makes a mean Irish Coffee after dinner in front of the fire.

On the banks of the Baaka - Bindara

Tent · With pets ·

Bindara Station is an historic piece of pastoral history. The land Bindara occupies shares a strong ancient Aboriginal history too. With many physical examples evidencing Aboriginal occupation prior to European settlement like scar trees and fire places. The station was once home to 300 people - station workers and their families. There is an old well kept grave yard of settlers. Barb, the owner has lived on the property since 1982. She is down to earth and welcoming. Her partner David (I think) was curious and interesting to talk to. He was clearly wanting to better understand the remnants of Aboriginal people. It was a clean campsite on the banks of the Darling River (the Baaka) and my son Jake & our pup Max enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing stay. Evening around a warm campfire, a full moon and a clear star filled sky - with Southern Cross prominent. Highly recommend staying here. There were other campers but the distant between campsites ensured privacy and our own space. A great way to unwind. We loved it. It’s great to get out into that country. Check it out you’ll love it, especially if you love the character of Australia. The meeting of the ancient with the hardiness of the early white settlers. A stay there will make you love Australia more.

As a family with 2 kids we spent 4 nights at Bindara and it was perfect. We camped at pelican spot and had a bathroom with no roof which was so special and gorgeous. Barb and John were incredible, with John delivering freshly squeezed orange juice each morning! So much history in the property it was lovely to hear old stories. Lots of yabbies and good fishing. We can't wait to go back!

Remote. Beautiful. Comfortable.

From the minute we drove up to Bindara’s homestead we were warmly welcomed by station owner Barb, and friendly sheep dog Lacie. . Armed with freshly-picked mandarins and grapefruits from Barb’s orchard, we were escorted to the fabulous campsite high on the banks of the Darling River. Below us, pelicans, cormorants, herons and egrets sunned themselves on the sandy banks. Our site came with our own private ‘ensuite’, constructed from an old water tank, with full flush toilet, hot water showers, sinks and soap/toilet paper. We spent two magical nights at Bindara and will definitely return. On our second night, we were invited to join guests staying at Bindara’s jillaroo quarters for a genuine country meal of campfire roasted lamb shanks, roast veggies and quondong crumble & ice cream. We were happy to pay the $45 dinner fee for such a warm and enjoyable evening, an optional offering if and when other guests are staying at Bindara. As city-bred campers, this was such a wonderful opportunity to understand better the ways of station life, its challenges and beauty. Barb is a formidable and admirable woman who made us feel like family and on leaving, like old friends. We’ll be back!

Site 2 is nicely positioned with your own private ensuite. The area is shaded by huge red gums so you are largely on dirt and no grass. Barb is a wonderful host and we definitely loved the freshly picked citrus.

Stunning Camp Spot - Wonderful Host

Tent · With kids ·

We spent three nights here and loved every moment. We set up our tent under some trees overlooking the river and cooked over an open fire each night. Our hosts were charming and completely lovely. They dropped us up river so we could kayak downstream back to our camp site and showed us around the property. Their dog (Lacey) is adorable and there was a baby goat that they were nursing that our son loved. We spent some time in Kinchega National Park and kayaked on Menindee Lake - a long held ambition!! Couldn’t recommend this spot more highly!!

Darling R. Camp, WC & hot showers

Camped on the Darling River @ Bindara Station with 2 doggies & friend over a hot Easter Weekend in ‘22. Barbara & Co are wonderful hosts who went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. Swimming in a fast flowing Darling was a highlight. The hit showers & WC were an added bonus. The dawn chorus & full moon rising just made the weekend all the mire memorable. Thank You Bindara, Mary, Rosie, Tom & Banjo

Beware of the dog!

12 m pop-up camper ·

Our visit got off to a bad start when I was bitten by Barb's dog as she was giving us the papers to sign in. We were in close proximity to the dog, as was Barb, but did not provoke it and were not warned that it might be aggressive. We later found out that it was a guard dog. Once we had taken care of the wound we enjoyed our two days there on a lovely camp-site

The Darling River with water is a special sight, Bindara provides that rare opportunity to sit by one of the great Australian inland rivers, next to the river gum giants and take a breath. Thank you Barb & John for your great hospitality

Darling River Camping (self contained)

Great spot to camp. Very picturesque and right beside the river. Good amenities and Barb was amazing. Will be back soon. Our Springer Spaniel lived her best life by the river.

Barb was a star !

Unfortunately we didn't make it to Darling River Camping as heavy rain made the roads inaccessible, however the host Barb was unbelievably helpful. She kept us up to date with the situation of the roads and went out of her way to help us plan alternative options - we hope we will make it there one day.

Great spot for camping

Bindara station is perfectly set up for visitors especially campers. It is a beautiful and peaceful site. Barb is a delightful host who lent us her kayaks for the day so we could travel up the river where we saw amazing wildlife. I would definitely recommend this to family and friends. Worth the trip.

Brilliant campsite, right on the Darling River. Lovely walks and lots of shade. Amenities perfect. Barb cooked us a fantastic dinner and breakfast, she is a super host. Well worth a visit. Handy to visit Menindee Lakes. We were so glad we were able to stay three nights.
