Australiana by the River
Our little family (my husband, 3 kids (5yo, 3yo & 1yo) and dog) loved meandering through the farm and the scrub to this camp sight. Such a relaxing peaceful that oozes Australiana.
The kids enjoyed riding their bikes, making mudpies and cooking marshmellows and popcorn over the fire.
Our Jayco Expanda Outback poptop navigated the trails easily with plenty of room to turn around.
Thankyou Simon for hosting us and sharing your farm. We will be recommending this special site to others.

Camping with our family
The camping area was large, flat and clear.
A breathtaking view when first arriving.
Beautifully private and an amazing sandbar.
We will be visiting again.

Peace and Quiet away from the Rat-R
Our 2nd visit to Simon's, first was Pig Bend then here at the Sand Bar. Very similar spots, each peaceful with no disturbances. Both have a house directly across the river, neither of which create an issue what so ever. A lovely sunny spot, we had no problem charging the solar. Our own private beach was a bonus although very muddy on entry to the water, possibly due to the recent floods. A huge draw card for both these sites is the public dump point in town and a fabulous market on the 1st Saturday of every month! We'll be back for sure X

Perfection by the Murray
We absolutely loved camping at Simons place. As pigs bend was still a little muddy Simon let us camp at the sand bar site which was perfect. The site has a small sandy beach in the river bend where you can sit and relax by the water. We parked our camper up on the cleared area of the bank but there are plenty of trees around for shade. Even though the temp was around 35 degrees most of the time we never felt it as the site is shady and breezy. If you want beautiful Murray riverside campsite all to yourself definitely book this site. Simon was really helpful and responsive and we had no problems. BYO toilet and water as per listing, wood for campfire easily picked up around site. Kerang and Swan Hill 45 mins drive. Thanks Simon hope to be back again soon

We had booked the campsite but flooding of the Murray had made it impossible to use the original locations. Simon had very kindly notified us of this and had proposed a full refund … but we still wanted to get out and camp. He then found us another spot on the propertly, also next to the river, but better protected from the flooding …. And we camped and made a big fire and could listen to the chorus of frogs and birds.
Thank you Simon. It was still very enjoyable and a very needed break into nature. I can only commend and recommend this camp location and host. We would not hesitate to go back.

This spot should be a secret 🤫
This was my second stay at Simons place . I stayed a week and didn’t want to leave it’s simply camping and fishing heaven. A very quite spot with lots of bird life and tranquility. Fishing was great ( even off the bank ) and launching my tinny was easy and plenty of fallen timber to use as firewood . Thanks again Simon I’m already looking forward to my next
stay .

Absolutely stunning spot
We absolutely loved this spot , stunning . Simon is great to deal with and made us feel most welcome. I’m heading back next week and can’t wait !! This spot is surely to become a regular destination . FYI fishing people … I landed a 62cm Murray Cod off the bank within 5 mins of dropping a line in . Thanks Simon really enjoyed our stay .

An idyllic bush campsite right on the Murray River. We loved that it was totally ours to enjoy and completely away from civilisation!

Great winter weekend in Murrabit
Whilst knowing this is a great spot in summer we took the opportunity to try a weekend in winter and chose a cracker!
We ordered firewood from Simon to ensure we had enough for our stay and had a great day out on the Saturday. Heading to the Murrabit Country Market and the local footy game in the afternoon and straight back to the fire and a few beers/wine to end the weekend.

Amazing spot! Quiet location perfect for camping with kids and fishing.
Fire pit provided and so much fallen timber around. Simon was great to deal with. Will definitely book again. Track in was soft in spots recommend 4wd if towing and it has been wet.

We had a great experience at the sandbar.
We were able to drop the jet ski in at the sandbar.
We had heaps of space for my son to ride his PW50.
The river was so quiet.
The drop toilet wasn’t in usable condition but that didn’t bother us.
Will definitely be going back.

Camping with VIEWS to soak up!
We loved camping at Simon’s Pig Bend site. The view was perfect! The site area allowed us to really spread out so everyone had a ‘box seat’. Our friendly host Simon was a prompt and helpful communicator, with a ‘can do’ attitude. He allowed us to use water from his property to fill our caravans. Simon also recommended pubs to eat at in both towns of Swan Hill and Barham… they were good pub fare and service. The swimming area directly in front of this campsite was very muddy… a little pontoon would be a really good addition 😆. Thank you Simon, will spread the word … ‘PigBend’ for Murray River Camping. Regards, kathy

PERFECT SPOT!! (but not so private)
Cannot recommend this spot enough. The space is perfect; fantastic sandbar, great areas to camp, with multiple zones for families or friends camping together, shady lovely trees everywhere, road down to the river if you have a boat, responsive lovely host.
The ONLY downside for us, and many wouldn’t care, is the house on the opposite bank that looks directly at you. That was a dampener for us, as we wanted total privacy, but again, it’s just a great property to camp, and anyone is lucky to get to camp there!
