For the protection of our crop, fires from mid October, November and December (until harvest) may not be allowed. This will be Weather dependent. We will let you know when you arrive but basically.. Hot, dry, windy = no fire Rain, cool, mild = fires ok 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.

Hot, dry, windy = no fire Rain, cool, mild = fires ok Big Bama Bush Camp is nestled in the bush around a beautiful natural pond that can sometimes be dry and other times brimming full. Location is tucked away offering plenty of privacy, 300 meters from our house and 150 meters from No 3 camp site. . It's ideal for a larger group with multiple families or friends having some quality camping time together! There is room for 5 or more caravans to spread out through the bush. Please feel free to book any one under 18 as a child when you make your booking. We are happy for you to enjoy music but please be considerate to our other camp site if its occupied. This camping spot looks out across Back Water Creek to Bama Forest. Absolutely awesome for walks. Back Water Creek doesn't have permanent water in it, only when the river is running high. The Murray is about a 20 minute walk from here along the creek. Big Bama Bush Camp is complete with it's own cold water outdoor tree shower.. (in summer the water is warm and can be very hot from the poly pipe) and concrete cattle trough which makes for a perfect paddling pool or place to hang your legs in the water while enjoying a beer on a hot day. It can be filled with river water that we have piped down to the camp. We have a flushing toilet and hot shower shared between our two camp sites. It is about a two minute walk. Friendly dogs are welcome, on a leash . Please clean up after them :) The ground surface is dirt with plenty of leaf litter and bark lying around. The site is quite flat, though roughly 50mm of levelling might be required.

For the protection of our crop, fires from mid October, November and December (until harvest) may not be allowed. This will be Weather dependent. We will let you know when you arrive but basically.. Hot, dry, windy = no fire Rain, cool, mild = fires ok No 3 Is nestled amongst the trees looking over the Back Water Creek. With our cropping paddock one side of you and the Bama National park the other. Walk to the Murray river is under 2km one way. Also a nice drive if you leave our property and drive the in forest on the designated tracks. The river is ever changing, though last time we visited opposite where the Goulburn meets the Murray, was a lovely sandy swimming spot. There is a toilet and hot shower about 100 meters from camp and is shared with the Big Bama camp site. Also an outdoor shower for No3, right in the camp. A site toilet can hired from Echuca Central Hire if you are not keen on the little walk :). About $160 for a weekend. They can usually deliver. Friendly dogs are welcome. Please clean up after the fur babies. The ground surface is dirt with plenty of leaf litter and bark lying around. The site is quite flat.

Little Bell Glamping Tent

Bell tent · Sleeps 2 · 1 bed · 1 toilet
Little Bell is a 4 metre canvas bell tent, the only glamping experience we offer at Tooranie. Tucked in amongst beautiful bushland on the edge of Bama Forest and Back Water Creek. Back Water Creek forms our boundary and makes the perfect walking track to the Murray, a 20 minute walk through beautiful Red Gum forest. The wild life is abundant. Aside from kangaroos and black wallabies, we've spotted goannas, turtles and beautiful birds and owls too many to mention. You are in for a treat if the creek is full, the chorus of frogs is an absolute delight! Little Bell is complete with a queen size bed, beautiful linen.  And all to yourself only 15 meters from your tent, a rustic, with a modern twist, bathroom with hot shower and flushing toilet.  Little Bell at Tooranie is a great location to relax, unwind, and take in the serenity. It is also a perfect base for exploring the region. There is so much on offer close by and great events, we have the Echuca Blues Festival, River Boats Music Festival, Pop and Pour, Moama Lights and the list goes on. Little Bell is a pet free camp. And unfortunately we are unable to host children at Little Bell. Please see our other listing's for family friendly options. Fire wood provided Little Bell is an eco friendly off grid glamping set up. We use solar power for our 12v system. The toilet is flushing and both shower and toilet use river water.  We supply the following: Rain water for drinking/cooking Power for charging phones  Gas BBQ Kettle for tea and coffee Small fridge All bedding Camp kitchen Check in is 2 o'clock but are more than happy to welcome you earlier if we had no other guests.  Please message or call and we'll arrange if possible :)

    Kerry and Ben have created an unmatched camping experience! Completely remote, a full bush camp trip, nestled among the gums- but with the comfort of a flushing toilet, hot shower and a little outdoor plunge pool for cooling off on a hot day! And, these luxuries aren’t tacky add ons; they’ve been built to blend in with the surrounds and offer incredible experiences like showering while looking at the dappled sun shining between the leaves of the trees! And, somehow they’re so clean; not all dusty or covered in cobwebs or anything. Our Big Bama site offered PLENTY of space for our big tent, gazebo, two cars and space for all the kids to run around and play. While spacious it wasn’t bare, we were still surrounded by gorgeous trees! Kerry was an incredible host, she went above and beyond to support our trip and was responsive in her communication. We will definitely be back and recommend this camping spot 100%!

    Quiet, secluded campsite but still conveniently close to town. Good amenities. Kerry and Ben were great hosts, really responsive. If you’re really lucky Kelly the farm dog might stop by too :)

    The campsite was spacious and peaceful. The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and had clearly thought of all the little creature comforts — a clean flush toilet, hot shower, and plenty of firewood available whenever we needed it without having to bother the hosts. It’s the thoughtful touches that really made this trip comfortable. Highly recommend!
