Situated on the Barwon River just 5km outside of Walgett, Muddy Waters is a Fisherman’s dream... Enjoy direct river access and try your luck at the seasonal bounty of Murray Cod, Golden Perch (yellow-belly) and huge blue crayfish! Muddy Waters is an ideal location for your adventures and outback experience. Walgett has a rich Indigenous and agricultural history, with significant sites located nearby. Walgett means “where two rivers meet” and Muddy Waters is less than 1km by boat from the junction of the Namoi and Barwon River. Set up base here and do daily tours at your own leisure. Brewarrina Fish Traps are 130km west & Lightning Ridge & Grawin/Glengarry Opal Fields situated 70km north. Enjoy a soak in a number of artesian bore baths in the shire like the often overlooked and quieter one in Walgett. No toilets here - campers must be self-contained and please leave no trace. Dogs welcome but kept under control as we have farm animals and dogs. Access to the campsites is possible for all types of vehicles and rigs. Campfires ok, and free firewood to collect.

Nice quiet location just outside of Walgett. Nice level ground with camp sites close to river. Stayed 3 nights & felt completely safe, even though I was the only person camping. Did not get to meet the farm hosts, which I thought was unfortunate. Even a quick drop in to say hello would have been nice. Home grown vegetables, preserves etc were available for purchase from the honesty van situated at the gate.

Awesome spot near the river, quiet and peaceful. No problem with Luke and Carolyn's home near by. Still very private

Not private but nice enough
We did enjoy our camp here and it was nice by the river but unfortunately the site was way too close to the hosts house and it didn't feel private at all. When advertised on 110 acres I really didn't expect to be near the house or even be able to see the house. For our first night there were 5 campers by the river so a bit over crowded. We ended up leaving a day early for this reason.

Lots of space to pitch up with easy vehicle access. River was nice but the owners home and farm buildings were a bit too close for my liking.

Great spot right next to water. Big area to camp with camp fire in place. Other campers barely in site . Easy to get to camp spot with a little shop with odds and ends. Wood was handy to purchase . Nice shade from trees also. Carp made fishing a bit annoying at the time unfortunately !

Great place to relax
Muddy Waters - just outside Walgett on Barwon river. Wonderful riverside camping - unpowered right on rivers edge - great for a group get together. Powered also available further back - recovering from flood so lost their grass. Fully self contained only - no amenities - yet - future plans. Short trip to town for water, dump point and good IGA. Lovely owners Luke and Carolyn very helpful. Canoes and boat hire, fishing and yabbie nets. Campfires and wood available Great peaceful place - thoroughly recommend very reasonably priced.

Lovely shade by the river.
Luke was very willing to ensure we had the best spot as we were the only people camping there. The spots down by the river have great shade.

Stunning river side spot
Luke was so welcoming and gave us many options for our site spot, it's stunning by the river with fire pits dotted along the riverside. Waking up to sounds of nature was amazing. We loved it - thank you!

Great little spot to park up for a night or if the river is up you can drop a line in or even launch a little tinny off the boat ramp and stay a few days. Luke, the host, was a top bloke! Big sites for caravans and camp fires.

Camp site on the river was amazing. The fresh produce made it extra special… fresh eggs, pumpkins and sauces! Not to mention the free silver beet. Luke is a fantastic host

Absolutely fabulous!!
Absolutely fabulous at Muddy Waters. Luke, very friendly and welcoming, greeted us with a bunch of organic silverbeet. Very yummy. We camped on the Riverside and had it all to ourselves. We had a magnificent fire and at sunset got some wonderful photos of the water and gum trees. We didn't want to leave, however, we will be back for a longer stay next time. Easy to get into campsite and plenty of wood for fire.

This was my first stop on the way to Perth and it was a fantastic start to the trip. Luke and Carolyn are very friendly and generous with their home grown produce, and I took a quieter spot on the creek away from everyone on the river. Really enjoyed my overnight stay, could have easily stayed another couple of nights
