Murry River Camping Spots Near Echuca

There are some really nice spots near Torumbarry , to the west of Echuca. There is a state reserve on the Banks with a huge area for camping (very popular for the Southern 80 Ski boat race) 100's of spots. No facilities though

There are some nice spots 20Kms west of Yarrawonga.

Nice sandy beaches on the river.

Barmah State Park nth of Strathmerton has large camping spots that would suit, but I reckon you would have to set up now to claim it.

All along the river upstream from Echuca has good camping.

Around Tocumwal is another area worth trying. As well as Barooga across the river from Cobram.

Gary, when your in Echuca look up Peter Garfield & Clair Jackson... you will find them on a Paddle steamer (THEY BOTH WORK ON THE STEAMERS) or around the Port area... Tell them that "the father of steam navigation (ACT) " sent you and they will show you the ropes... the inside story of the padlle steamers....may even score a ride.....give Clair a hug for me too but don't hug Peter just a hand shake will do....Oh and tell them my steam launch goes on Ebay early April....

go buy that boiling billy book Camping in Vic...it has all that info can get here at OZ

Hi Gaz
Just come bavk for Echuca, we stayed at Christies beach 5 klms east of Echuca at the end of Simmies Road, very clean drop toilets and quiet. Quite a number of camping areas to fit 10 vehicles in, plenty of shade.
