About this place
Unnumbered camping along Smithers Beach on the Murray River near Barooga.
Smithers Beach sits beside a broad reach of the Murray River in the Barooga area of Murray Valley National Park. Campsites are selected on arrival rather than assigned by number, giving the riverside setting an informal feel.
Spend time by the water and leave considerate space for neighbouring campers when choosing a spot. River conditions can change, so use the current NPWS safety and booking guidance for your trip.
