Camping in the Riverina
112 campgrounds · 7 with powered sites · 3 with showers · 4 with a dump point · 5 with tent sites
The Riverina is Murrumbidgee country. The river runs 1,485 km through Gundagai, Wagga Wagga, Narrandera, Leeton and Hay, and irrigation since 1912 has made the region the source of about 90% of NSW's citrus and 80% of its wine grapes. Camping here is mostly town caravan parks and simple river-beach camps among the red gums.
Where is the best place to camp in the Riverina?
Between Narrandera and Darlington Point, dozens of small camps line the river, with names like Euroley Beach, and near Hay there is a similar run of river camps. For showers and power, Narrandera has Lake Talbot Tourist Park beside the pool, and Wagga Wagga, Griffith, Hay and Gundagai each have town parks. Out west, Willandra National Park has the Willandra campground, about 64 km from Hillston.
What is there to do in the Riverina with kids?
At Narrandera, the Lake Talbot pool complex has a 50-metre pool and water slides, and several hundred koalas live in the town's Koala Regeneration Reserve. In Wagga Wagga, the Botanic Gardens have an aviary, a small zoo and a miniature railway, and the RAAF Wagga Aviation Heritage Centre is near the airport. In Hay, Shear Outback is close to the caravan parks, and Hay Gaol is now a museum. At Gundagai, the Dog on the Tuckerbox is 8 km out of town, and the town remembers Yarri and Jacky Jacky, who rescued more than 40 people in bark canoes in the 1852 flood.

What are the best river spots and nature in the Riverina?
In Wagga Wagga, the river forms a big sandy beach for summer swimming, and Narrandera's wetlands and Bundidgerry Creek are used for swimming, water-skiing and canoeing. Near Griffith, Lake Wyangan is part of an Important Bird Area and used for boating and fishing, and at Willandra, kangaroos are most often seen at dawn and dusk on the grassland plains.
When is the best time to go camping in the Riverina?
Summers here are hot, with Hay regularly passing 40°C and a record of 47.7°C, while Wagga winters bring fog and heavy frosts. Willandra's roads are unsealed and become unusable after even moderate rain, so check conditions before you head out.
Are there powered sites in the Riverina?
Yes. 7 campgrounds here have powered sites confirmed, including Narrandera Caravan Park, Hay Caravan Park and Coleambally Caravan Park. For the rest we are still confirming, so check with the park or holiday park before you book a powered site.
How far is Wagga Wagga from Sydney?
Wagga Wagga is 452 km south-west of Sydney and 244 km from Canberra. Gundagai is about 390 km from Sydney, Griffith about 568 km and Hay about 719 km, roughly halfway to Adelaide.
