    Bimbimbi is located at the free flowing, clear beginning of the Murray River, at Tintaldra. We have 5 separate sites. Each site is for a single group, so you know you will only have yourselves in close proximity. Each site has access to the river, although The Fishing Hole, River Red Gums and The Big Bend have better access than The Willows and The Old Pump Hole. Swimming, fishing for Murray Cod, hiking along the river bank (we have 3km of frontage), bird watching, relaxing are typical things to do here. Or, if you are more adventurous, borrow our canoes and do a down river trip, or go for a longer hike up Pine Mountain in the Pine Mountain National Park. Or, bring your mountain or road bikes and do some cycling on the picturesque roads and trails. The Big Bend is the most open camping site suitable for larger groups. Access to the river for swimming is good. This site is accessible to 2-wheel drive vehicles. The Fishing Hole is our most remote location, accessible during the summer by high clearance 2-wheel drive vehicles but 4-wheel drive is highly recommended. There is good access to the river here for swimming. This site is clothing optional. You are basically on your own in a remote place. Wear whatever you like, including nothing at all. River Red Gums is a single campsite, also remote and primitive, accessible by high clearance 2-wheel drive vehicles during dry weather. Again, 4 wheel drive is recommended. Access to the river is easy and the bank slopes gently down making it a great place for swimming. This site is also clothing optional. The Old Pump Hole is upstream of all the other camp sites. It is the easiest to access. Most vehicles will get to this site. The bank here is steeper so swimming is not as easy. However, always improvising, campers at this location jump in here with their li-los, inner tubes and other flotation devices and float down to The Big Bend, get out and then come back and do it again. This is an area set on a small hill overlooking the river, as shown in the photos. The Willows, our newest site, is between The Big Bed and River Red Gums, set under the shade of some willows a few metres from the river bank. The bank here is also steep, but again, campers can hop into the river here and float down to River Red Gums, or walk either to River Red Gums or The Big Bend for swimming. The Willows is also clothing optional. The campsites are well spaced out, with a minimum of 200 metres between the nearest two locations. In fact, it either impossible or very difficult to see anyone else at the other camp sites from your own camp site. Each camp site is accessible via its own track, so you won't have other vehicles driving past your camp site. We have a Leave No Trace policy, please take all rubbish with you. (This also means not throwing bottles, cans, bottle tops, aluminium foil and other non-biodegradable items into the camp fire.) Dogs are allowed, but please keep them under control, particularly if near cattle. Campfires are allowed only in braziers provided, when fire bans are not in place. You can gather your own firewood or purchase firewood from us (see "Extras"). Please arrive before dark if you haven't been here before. It is difficult to understand a new camp site in the dark. We provide a toilet at each location, for your convenience and the cleanliness of the camp site in general. Nothing but your human deposit and toilet paper in the toilet please. No disposable wipes, nappies etc. Please put these in your trash. Also, bring your drone but use it only over locations that are not occupied. We have canoes to borrow and seasonal produce is available from the garden. And, again, wood for purchase if you don't want to gather your own. Please see "Extras"

    The Big Bend
    Very much enjoyed our trip to big bend. Has great scenery and is a very nice property to relax by the river. Views to the snowy’s in the background. Lots of stars to look at in the night sky and bird life to wake up to in the morning. Ian and Olga were lovely hosts. Great place to make a base camp to explore the wider area!

    Peaceful solo camping experience

    River Red Gums
    I stayed at Bimbimbi for two nights as part of a little solo getaway, and it was everything I needed and more. As a female camper, I felt completely at ease here. The campsite sits on a beautiful family-owned farm, with plenty of space, privacy, and you’re welcomed onto land that’s been loved and cared for. Listening to the river everyday was something else... The view of the mountains and sunsets so stunning. Ian also brought me canoeing on the Murray River with his daughter and that was truly so lovely. Can’t wait to return!

    Bimbimbi River Camp is a true gem. Our stay at the Willows campsite was exceptionally relaxing, a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The Willows campsite itself is beautifully situated, offering ample space and a sense of privacy. The shade provided by the willow trees was a welcome relief during the warmer parts of the day. The river access was fantastic, allowing for refreshing swims and leisurely riverside walks.

    The Fishing Hole
    The Fishing Hole was a great spot with so much space and completely private. Easy access to the river with a beach so you can walk straight in. The fire pit was great and there’s plenty of firewood around that you can help yourself to. Lovely surrounding scenery and would be great to canoe down the river!

    Camping at Bimbimbi was a real treat, camp site 2 was even, clean and close to the river. Ian was welcoming with some practical tips for our stay. We were planning an excursion from the site but couldn't drag ourselves away. Sites are private and well spaced and managed. We will be back for sure.
