West of most Riverina towns, the dramatic Mungo National Park is an otherworldly landscape of dry lakes, sand dunes, rocky outcrops, indigenous culture, and archeological sites. There are two campgrounds within the park, one with a range of tent, caravan, and trailer sites and facilities, while the other is more basic. This dry area is more characteristic of the quintessential Australian outback than the lush, fertile Riverina, but it’s accessible from Riverina towns, including Griffith and Hay, by travelling west along the Sturt Highway. You can also explore different options for camping near Riverina on Hipcamp.
