48km from Barmah National Park · 4 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Wunghnu, VIC
🌿 Property Description: Creekside Nature & Wellness Sanctuary Welcome to Creekside Nature & Wellness Sanctuary — a peaceful patch of land in Wunghnu, where the creek flows gently, frogs sing at dusk, and nature invites you to slow down and come home to yourself. This is not a caravan park or luxury resort. It’s something softer, simpler, and soul-filled — a place for deep rest, barefoot mornings, and quiet reconnection with the land. You’ll find: • Trees, birdsong, and friendly visits from owls, possums, and foxes • A herb and veggie garden you're welcome to forage from • Outdoor seating, shady spots for reading or resting, and seasonal campfires • Easy access to public toilets (cleaned twice daily) • The Wunghnu café, tavern, and the region’s cheapest fuel — just a 2-minute stroll away • Occasional highway noise — softened by the sound of creek water and wildlife 🌾 Optional Experience: Join a paddock-to-plate Organic Regenerative Farm Tour. Walk the land, meet the growers, and discover where your food comes from. Fresh produce is available for purchase. (Ask for pricing and availability.) You're invited to come just as you are — and leave with a little more of yourself.

20km from Barmah National Park · 8 sites · Tents, RVs · Moama, NSW
**Please be aware that for the month of November and December we will not be allowing camp fires due to risk to the crop. If no camp fire would be a disappointment (and we wouldn't blame you for being disappointed given the camp fire is the main activity!), you are best to book for outside this period. Our 300-acre off-grid property backs onto the Barmah National Park. This forest, together with the adjoining Millewa forest, forms the largest River Red Gum forest in the world - it's majestic to explore. Our property is just 500 meters from the Murray River. From your camp, roughly a 1 kilometre walk through the forest. On our boundary is Backwater Creek, which fills with water when the Murray River is up. NOTE: Creek is often dry. It has water in it after environmental flows of the Murray. This can happen several times a year and the water lasts a few months. If you have any questions about water levels please ask before booking as it might be dry when you're here. We're located just 5kms north-east of Moama, where you can hop aboard a paddle-steamer, visit waterside wineries and soak up rich riverboat heritage. We offer a few large, beautiful, basic bush camping sites (the best kind!) in amongst 50 acres of bushland, with 100's of meters and trees between you and other potential campers. The rest of our property is used for cropping and sheep. Campers must take out what you bring in. Mobile phone service and internet is usually reliable, though with long weekends and summer school holidays the service seems to disappear! Completely. We suggest downloading (before leaving home) your Spotify faves and Maps for this area then you can't go wrong. *Please feel free to book anyone in your possie that is under 18 as a child.
