Watts Bend Camping Area

Colignan, VIC

About this campsite

Watts Bend Camping Area is an exclusive camping spot nestled on the serene bank of the Murray River. Its compact nature further offers intimate spots for large camping rigs just a few meters off the bitumen. Some sites have a slight gradient to create a unique camping experience, while level sites are also available to cater to varying preferences. Coupled with an unpredictable mobile phone signal, Watts Bend tentatively brings one closer to nature and creates a unique experience of escape from the digital world. If you navigate along the dry weather road that leads towards the right, you'll discover a boat ramp which leads to additional camping spaces. When you have a boat or canoe, you may come across broad sandy beach areas conveniently located across the river that will spruce up your camping experience. However, be cautious for falling branches from the towering rivergum trees as you take in the captivating sights and sounds.
