Each are far from each other, both are right near to - or very close to - the river. Our guests love the tranquility and not having to share! Fish the river for flathead or bream and enjoy it for dinner by the campfire. Bring your kayak or SUP or just enjoy a swim in the clear sandy-bottom river. Once your booking request has been confirmed, let us know if you need more specific directions so you can find us easily. Well behaved (spoilt) dogs okay but please no hunting type dogs. Both sites have access to separate taps for fresh drinking water. Firewood can be collected from the property or supplied at a small fee (you can book this when you book your site).

75km from Croajingolong National Park · 2 sites · Tents, RVs · Kiah, NSW
Riverview Kiah is offering one campsite nestled on a very quiet part of the Kiah/Towamba river. To minimize impact on neighbors and make your stay more enjoyable, there is only one campsite offered on the whole property, so apart from the owners you will have it all to yourselves. You will need to be a self-contained camper who brings their own camping toilet/shower. We offer access to water via a 1000l pod that is close to the campsite. This water is drinkable and may be used to fill jerry cans/ wash etc. We just ask you to please be frugal with usage. The campsite is situated on a grassy knoll a mere 30m away from your own private beach, which is ideal for fishing kayaking and swimming. The Kiah / Towamba river is well renowned for its excellent fishing. Live bait or soft plastics are best. Live bait can be sourced at nearby Nullica beach or alternatively, frozen prawn's, pipis or salted pilchards also yield success. Some of the species that call the river home are, Flathead, Bream, Luderick, Whiting, Estuary Pearch, Jewfish, Mullet and Flounder. If you bring your kayaks, canoe or roof top tinny the river is very picturesque with unique photo opportunities and an abundance of wildlife. You can head upstream for a way but if you're feeling up to it, it's about a 2.5-hour paddle (at a slow steady pace) to the mouth of the river where Davidsons whaling station is located, as well as the view across the bay to Eden. If you time it right, you can go and return with the tide. Two kayaks and life jackets are provided with all bookings so that people without their own equipment are able to explore the pristine waterway. There is a large firepit near the river that may be utilized as long as there is no total fire ban in effect. If you have your own firepit that can also be used but there are to be no fires on beach or bare earth. Firewood can be provided at an extra cost, (please select in extras, 1 bundle will last 2 nights on average). Directions will be provided 48 hours before arrival; you are welcome to head straight to camp although if around I will meet and greet you upon arrival. If you would like to bring your pet, please contact us to discuss first.

The best camping in Croajingolong National Park, VIC guide

Overview

About

Stretching for more than 100 kilometres along the coast of far-east Victoria, Croajingolong National Park encompasses some of the state’s wildest coastline. Hike rugged sea cliffs and sweeping sand dunes along the Wilderness Coast Walk, admire the views from Point Hicks Lightstation, or go boating and canoeing around Mallacoota Lakes and Wingan Inlet. Coastal camping doesn’t get much better than this, whether you pitch your tent by the beach, park your campervan by the creek, or paddle out to camp on a remote island in the Tamboon Inlet. Wildlife lovers will also be in their element—whales, dolphins, and more than 250 bird species can be spotted in the park.

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for families: Thurra River Campground has 46 unpowered sites, some suitable for campervans and camper trailers.
  • Best for caravans: Peachtree Creek Campground has 11 unpowered sites and is the only campground with sealed road access suitable for caravans.
  • Best for getting on the water: Wingan Inlet Campground has easy access to the Wingan River Rapids and the islands of Fly Cove.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Advance bookings are required for Shipwreck Creek, Thurra River, Wingan Inlet, Mueller Inlet, and Peachtree Creek campgrounds. 
  2. You can book online via the Parks Victoria website up to six months in advance. 
  3. Campsites can book up fast during peak season (December to February), especially over weekends and school holidays. Book at least three months in advance to avoid disappointment.

When to go

Boasting some of Victoria’s warmest winter temperatures, the state’s far-eastern coastline is a year-round destination. Come in summer to swim and paddle along the coast, in spring to go bird-watching and admire the wildflowers, or in winter to fish, hike, and spot southern-right and humpback whales—whale-watching season runs from August through October.
