- Fire bans
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
Murray Valley National Park and nearby Murray Valley Regional Park were established to protect the majestic river red gum forests of the Riverina's Ramsar-listed wetland.
Part of the largest continuous red gum forest in the world, this region hosts a unique ecosystem with over 60 threatened native animal species and 40 threatened plant species. It is also an important place for Aboriginal people.
There are lots of things to do. Fish for your dinner in the mighty Murray and paddle along the river in a canoe or kayak. If you're interested in birds, be sure to check out Reedbeds Bird Hide and look out for the yellow rosella as you ride the park's trails. After a day exploring, camp out overnight by the river at one of the park's many campgrounds.

Best times to visit
Spring
If it's been a wet winter white ibis and straw necked ibis will be nesting from late winter through to spring. It is also the best time to see the wildflowers in bloom.
Summer
A great time for water activities on the Murray - and a time when it can get very hot and dry, with solid fuel fire bans in place for the entire season. Generally starting on 1 October each year until just before the start of Easter.
Autumn
The perfect time for a camping holiday: the days are cooler and the nights are not yet too chilly.
Winter
The morning light sparkles on the river and is the time when the forests are flooded with water and the wetlands come alive.
