Nyah State Forest Camping Area

Nyah, VIC

About this campsite

The Nyah State Forest Camping Area, located by the beautiful Murray River, offers spacious bush camping options in both sunny and shady environments. Campers can choose the open grassy area, ideal for utilizing solar panels, or settle by the river under the shelter of large river gums. A truly immersive nature getaway, but keep in mind not to camp right under the trees due to falling branches and the area can get muddy post-rainfall. It's an amazing place to relax, explore, and connect with nature.

Nestled on the riverbanks of Murray River, Nyah State Forest Camping Area provides a tranquil getaway filled with natural beauty. This rich outdoor habitat is bifurcated into two distinct terrains to choose from. Campers looking for cool shade can seek comfort amidst the large river gums adorning the riverside. Alternatively, those in pursuit of sunshine can set up in the open, grassy area illuminated with ample sunlight, optimal for solar panel usage. However, potential campers should be aware of the river gum branches which can fall occasionally. Track conditions are ideal during dry weather, although they can become muddy post downpour. Endowed with sprawling room for camping, Nyah State Forest offers an ultimate bush camping experience in the lap of nature. Connect with the wild, savor the river breeze and soak in the verdant landscapes here, as you leave behind the everyday hustle and immerse into this serene wilderness.
