    NSW NPWS Riverina Area - Solid Fuel Fire Ban (SFFB) Commences

    A park fire ban is in place in this park and remains in effect unless otherwise extended or removed. During park fire ban periods, all campfire and solid fuel (wood, heat beads, charcoal, briquettes, hexamine) barbecues and stoves are prohibited. Gas and electric barbecues and cookers are permitted as long as:

    • They're under direct control of an adult
    • The ground within 2m of the barbecue is cleared of all flammable materials
    • There's an adequate supply of water (minimum of a bucket)

    If a Total Fire Ban is in place, different rules apply. Contact the local park office before bringing a gas or electric barbecue or cooker.
    Penalties apply for non-compliance. For more information about fire bans in parks and reserves including your responsibilities, visit the NSW National Parks fire safety page.

About

If you're looking for a great place to set up camp for a night or two, Swifts Creek campground is the ideal place. Situated at the most narrow part of Murray River (The Narrows), this campground is surrounded by river red gum forest and is an ideal base for exploring Murray Valley National Park.

The boat ramp near the campground allows easy access of boats and kayaks into and out of the river, which you'll be sharing with wetland species, fish and woodland birds. Look out for koalas in the trees surrounding the campground and along the river.

Decking suspended over the river's edge is a great spot for fishing or just sitting back and enjoying the sights and sounds of the bush. There's plenty to see and do, so remember to bring your mountain bike, canoe, kayak, fishing rod, hiking boots or binoculars to take advantage of your surroundings.
