Caravan Parks

Towing a van? Love a tent, but also a shower? Enjoy simple cabins? We hear you!

Our region just North of the Murray is home to eight waterside caravan parks – most with cabins.

Choose your base, enjoy the park facilities, and explore nearby towns and villages. Stay out for a pub meal or head back and self-cater with an easy barbecue.

If direct water access isn’t an issue, these places are walking distance from the water:

Free camping

If you’re a camping purist, you’ll love pitching a tent at one of the Parks NSW Murray Valley Regional Park sites. Booking ahead is recommended (booking fee of $6 applies).

  • Howlong - Quat Quatta East
  • Corowa - Corowa Precinct, Collendina Campground (dog friendly).
  • Mulwala - Mulwala Campground

Each site has its own charms: from riverside serenity to the heart of bushwalking territory, you’ll find what you need here. Forage for firewood, boil the billy, and marvel at the evening sounds of native birds and animals preparing for the starry night ahead.

Just 3km from Mulwala is a stretch of the Lake Mulwala shore popular with campers. Kyffins Reserve might just be the ultimate free camp area. Boat access, amazing views of the lake, and a flat camp area suitable for all types of camping (RVs, caravans, tents and swags) are on offer here. Perhaps best of all, the location hosts spectacular sunsets across the lake. No facilities provided, and rubbish needs to be removed.

RV Friendly

The village of Oaklands, about 60km north of the Murray River from Corowa or Mulwala, is a popular spot for RV drivers and caravaners to stop off and stretch the legs for a day or two. There are RV bays, barbecues and dump points in town, along with a simple, friendly pub and some historical displays. Many RV drivers continue from here to other RV-friendly towns such as Jerilderie, Finley, Albury or Yarrawonga.
