About this campsite

The Loddon Floodway Camping Area combines tranquility and adventure, nestled in a lush forest by the banks of the Murray River. You can camp under the well-shaded canopy of river gums, while remaining cautious of possible falling limbs. Despite tricky terrain during wet weather, its natural creek-bed boat ramp offers accessibility to the river for small crafts. Connectivity might be unpredictable with inconsistent Telstra signal, making it an ideal location to disconnect and enjoy nature's splendors.

Loddon Floodway Camping Area is beautifully nestled within nature, being a serene bush camp situated on the Murray River's bank. The camp enjoys a unique touch of functionality, featuring a natural boat ramp forged by a creek bed granting access to the river, perfect for those keen on launching small water vessels. The camping area is generously dotted with picturesque sites, largely nestled under the welcoming shade of river gums, providing campers with a marriage of convenience and beauty in choosing their ideal spot. Do bear caution however, as these trees can occasionally shed limbs unexpectedly. For the digital-dependent visitors, the Telstra signal can vary in reliability, while the approach road, layered with dense black soil, though scenic, can also prove to be challenging and slippery during wet weather. It's a haven for off-roaders and nature lovers - a real bush experience.
