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.
