Noorong-Wetuppa campgrounds
Murray Valley National Park
Overview
Camp by the Wakool River at one of 6 campgrounds in the Noorong-Wetuppa area of Murray Valley National Park. Enjoy some fishing, relax and watch the kingfishers.
These campgrounds are a great place to relax beside the river among the river red gums. You’ll be following in the footsteps of the workers and their families who lived in slab huts and tents at the nearby Gee Gee Crossing sawmill in the 1920s and 30s.
There are 6 campgrounds in the Noorong-Wetuppa area to choose from when you arrive. Gee Gee Bend, Lowes, Bumpy Tree and Wild Canary campgrounds are located in the Noorong precinct upstream of Gee Gee bridge. Chilvers and Spur Point campgrounds are located in the Wetuppa precinct downstream of Gee Gee bridge. Each of the campgrounds has a capacity of 2 campsites.
There are no camping fees but a $6 booking fee applies. Bookings are required. Book online or call 1300 072 757.
