Nestled by the river, this campsite is cherished for its tranquil ambiance and the joy of waking up to friendly cows and abundant birdlife, like kookaburras and cockatoos. Campers appreciate the ease of access, especially for larger caravans, and the thoughtful provision of firewood by the welcoming host, Bill. While the grassy areas offer ample space for families and activities, some might find the riverbank steep, making water access a challenge. Despite occasional windy conditions, the overall experience is peaceful and picturesque, making it a favored spot for relaxation and nature appreciation.

River Bend Camp
The space was gorgeous, right on the river in a big paddock. I felt very lucky to set up camp there! The host was the nicest person I've ever spoken to. Thoroughly enjoyed and will be returning

A great peaceful spot right beside the river. Plenty of wood for fires. Grass is quite long and lots of cow pads but would certainly recommend.

On the banks of the river with wonderful green paddocks, it was incredibly peaceful and despite the rain we had a lovely stay. We would definitely rate this as great place to stay a night or two as it’s super close to town and really easy access etc.

River Bend Camp
All the properties are so green at the moment
All camp spots along the river had fire wood
We had a lovely night here
Plenty of space for everyone. We were 1 of 4 groups, and couldn't hear anyone. Reasonably flat grassy area, with river front views. River was a bit mirky from previous rain in the area, but my wife saw a platypus close to the bank up from where we were set up.
Easy to find spot due to the hipcamp emblem on the gate. Nearby road noise was minimal.

Nice spot to stopover and relax. Enjoy the stay. See you next time William.
A lovely, peaceful site with beautiful surroundings and incredible bird life — the cockatoos and kookaburras were a highlight. Easy access for bigger caravans and plenty of room to settle in comfortably. Bill was a fantastic host and the generous supply of firewood was much appreciated. The river was gorgeous; while some sections of the bank are steep, there were accessible lower areas for fishing. The town of Gundagai is near by very handy for lunch or supplies. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely camp here again.

River Bend Camp
This is a great quite spot right on the river and has plenty of room for bike riding, cricket etc. Bill was an awesome host and even has piles of firewood scattered through the camping area for use. We will be back!
The camping opportunities run all along the Murrumbidgee River, and there are a bunch of spots with grass and amazing outlooks along the river. This is a bird-watcher/photographers dream spot, as there are all manner of birds running along the river and around the camp sites - I missed the shot of a Wedge tailed eagle running along the river scaring all the cockatoos, but that is an example of the opportunities. It is a quick jaunt into town and is very quiet.

River Bend Camp
Having looked at prior reviews and photos, we thought this stay would be worth the nightly rate, so we booked 3 nights.
When we arrived, it was a paddock which had been mowed down in areas to drive on. To reach the water from the campsite, we would almost have to abseil down to it. We have stayed at other riverfront campsites before, and we’ve always been able to get to the water, which is really why you stay there.
The winds each day and night are quite significant. This paddock is basically the base of a bowl, with hills surrounding it.
The only positive thing I could say about our stay was there was phone service there.
Our worst value for money Hipcamp stay so far unfortunately, and the 1st negative review I’ve written.
We really enjoyed our stay at River Bend. It is quiet and private, but also with quick easy trip to town if extra supplies are needed. Access to the sites was easy. Bill is a great host and great with communication. The sites are flat with good shade. Steepish slope down to river but we had no troubles accessing to throw in a line. We arrived to piles of firewood ready for us which was a great touch. Lots of space for the kids to play cricket and kick footy. The river was low, so not great for swimming at the time of our visit, but the kids (aged between 8-14) still had lots of fun playing under the trees along the riverbank. The sites are well spaced, certainly within view of each other but we did not notice any noise from the others. We’ll be back, thanks Bill!

Lovely and clean land. Lots of cockatoos to watch. We saw a gorgeous sunset over the river. Bill is an excellent host. Thanks Bill!
We loved our overnight stay next to the river. Such a peaceful spot, only sounds we heard were the squawks of the local cockatoo flock.
