Information

Camp area. Showers and Bore water available for gold coin at the Shearer's quarters at the historic Kinchega Woolshed.If you like to wake up to water views, then pitch your tent at Darling River campground. The picturesque Darling River, on the eastern edge of Kinchega National Park, is famous for birdwatching, wildlife and stunning wildflower displays.As you set up camp, take a moment to soak in the tranquil vibe of this idyllic riverside campground but don’t be fooled; it’s bursting with life. Flocks of pink and black cockatoos nest in tree hollows whilst egrets and black kites patrol the waters while cheeky little finches hop through the scrub.After a day exploring, cool off with a swim in the river. On a warm night you might hear the mocking call of a perons tree frog, which sounds like laughter or a creaky door. Just to note, the Darling River campsites is not in one location; the campsites are spaced far apart along the Darling River from the start of River Dve to just before the Kinchega Homestead and they do not have toilets/showers. You will need to be self contained, dig a pit or drive to the Emu Lake Campground at the Woolshed. The sites are just perfect though, for serenity by the river.
