  • 168.jpg

Immerse yourself in the rugged beauty of the Bourkes Bend State Forest Camping Area, located on Ruwolts Road in Boomanoomana, NSW 2712. Situated within the Murray Valley State Forest, this popular destination offers a string of dispersed campsites along the winding banks of the iconic Murray River. Known for its towering River Red Gums and pristine sandy beaches, Bourkes Bend is a haven for water lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The area features several distinct camping zones (Bourkes Bend 1, 2, and 3), providing ample space for everything from tents to large caravans. With direct river access, it is a premier spot for swimming, fishing for Murray Cod, and launching kayaks or small boats from the nearby ramps. While the campground offers a back-to-nature experience with limited facilities, its proximity to Mulwala and Yarrawonga makes it an ideal balance of remote bush camping and regional convenience. Whether you are birdwatching, bushwalking, or simply relaxing by the water's edge, Bourkes Bend delivers an authentic Murray River escape.
