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.

Muddy Waters, dispersed creek sites
We stayed a night in our tents at Muddy Waters. Host Luke was welcoming and easy going. Such a beautiful place to stay, perfect spot for our campfire by the creek and bushland outlook.

Great location. Close to town
Great spot on the river, lots of bird life. We only had one other person camping in area. Reason for not putting great: loud water pump ran for a few hours on dusk which ruined it for us. I think neighbours property.

Can't recommend this place highly enough. We loved camping at Muddy Waters! The hosts were so friendly and welcoming. My boys spent our entire stay fishing and trying their luck for yabbies. Thank you Luke and Carolyn for an awesome stay!!

Great spot
We had a beautiful river front site, metres from the river! Sites were flat and all had a fire pit. The peacocks visited us each afternoon before perching in their tree. We would definitely visit again.

Picturesque Riverfront
Beautiful riverfront sight, peaceful and relaxing, definitely recommend, great alternative to caravan parks if you are totally self sufficient.

What a wonderful surprise ! Such a great camp at the river. You would need to take everything you needed and would suggest 4wd road was a little rough when we visited.
