All sites at Bimbimbi River Camp, except The Old Pump Hole, are now closed for the winter months. We re-open on September 1. The Old Pump Hole is set well above the river flats, overlooking them, so is drier and more accessible during the winter months. Bimbimbi has 3km of access to the Murray River at its clear, free-flowing beginning, with views of Snowy Mountains. This is our piece of paradise that we love and we are happy to share it with others. We have 5 camping locations, all with access to the river, but set back from the crown land that borders the river banks. Each of them is for a single group only. Some of them are big enough to accommodate a lot of people. The number of cars is usually not an issue. The Big Bend is the most open camping site suitable for larger groups. Access to the river for swimming is good. This site is accessible to 2-wheel drive vehicles. The Fishing Hole is our most remote location, accessible during the summer by high clearance 2-wheel drive vehicles but 4-wheel drive is highly recommended. There is good access to the river here for swimming. This site is clothing optional. You are basically on your own in a remote place. Wear whatever you like, including nothing at all. River Red Gums is a single campsite, also remote and primitive, accessible by high clearance 2-wheel drive vehicles during dry weather. Again, 4 wheel drive is recommended. Access to the river is easy and the bank slopes gently down making it a great place for swimming. This site is also clothing optional. The Old Pump Hole is upstream of all the other camp sites. It is the easiest to access. Most vehicles will get to this site. The bank here is steeper so swimming is not as easy. However, always improvising, campers at this location jump in here with their li-los, inner tubes and other flotation devices and float down to The Big Bend, get out and then come back and do it again. This is an area set on a small hill overlooking the river, as shown in the photos. The Willows, our newest site, is between The Big Bed and River Red Gums, set under the shade of some willows a few metres from the river bank. The bank here is also steep, but again, campers can hop into the river here and float down to River Red Gums, or walk either to River Red Gums or The Big Bend for swimming. The Willows is also clothing optional. The campsites are well spaced out, with a minimum of 200 metres between the nearest two locations. In fact, it either impossible or very difficult to see anyone else at the other camp sites from your own camp site. Each camp site is accessible via its own track, so you won't have other vehicles driving past your camp site. We have a Leave No Trace policy, please take all rubbish with you. (This also means not throwing bottles, cans, bottle tops, aluminium foil and other non-biodegradable items into the camp fire.) Dogs are allowed, but please keep them under control, particularly if near cattle. Campfires are allowed only in braziers provided, when fire bans are not in place. You can gather your own firewood or purchase firewood from us (see "Extras"). Please arrive before dark if you haven't been here before. It is difficult to understand a new camp site in the dark. We provide a toilet at each location, for your convenience and the cleanliness of the camp site in general. Nothing but your human deposit and toilet paper in the toilet please. No disposable wipes, nappies etc. Please put these in your trash. Also, bring your drone but use it only over locations that are not occupied. We have canoes for rental and seasonal produce is available from the garden. And, again, wood for purchase if you don't want to gather your own. Please see "Extras"

River Red Gums

Amazing experience and so peaceful!

We absolutely loved our stay! It was such a peaceful spot. We had no idea there was anyone else on the property. It was an amazing experience for us and the kids. We are already planning our next.

The Old Pump Hole

We had a lovely time at Ian and Olga's property. Very peaceful and private, such a beautiful place. We loved the sound or the birds, river and cows. We had a couple of visits from Zoe, their gorgeous farm dog, she like to hang out with our little dog. Caught a couple of carp and cod, and the water was clear enough that we could see Murray Crays and turtles along the banks. Thank you Ian, Olga and Zoe for a lovely stay, we will be back!

The Fishing Hole

Great Spot

This campsite was amazing. Evenly mowed grassy section on the edge of the rivers with a spectacular back drop. Fishing was good with easy access down to the river. Ian was a great host and very friendly providing a nice fire pit and fire wood for the chilly nights. Would recommend a gazebo or awning if staying at this site as there was little shade for the warm afternoon sun.

One of the best places that we’ve been to. Huge campsite area with an easy access to the river. Ian and Olga were fantastic hosts. We will definitely come back.
