Welcome to the Bingara Riverside Caravan Park, an idyllic retreat nestled on the banks of the magnificent Gwydir River in the Northern Slopes of New South Wales. Famously known as “The Town That Thrives,” Bingara offers a rare combination of art deco elegance, rich pioneering history, and spectacular natural landscapes. Our park is situated in a prime position directly opposite the river, surrounded by majestic, mature trees that provide just the right amount of shade all year round. In spring, the approach to the park is particularly breathtaking as the Jacaranda trees lining Keera Road create a stunning canopy and carpet of lavender, welcoming you to your riverside sanctuary.
At Bingara Riverside Caravan Park, we cater to all types of modern travellers, from families on a great Australian road trip to solo adventurers seeking the peace of the bush. Our park features level, grassed sites that are perfect for caravans, motorhomes, and tents, as well as a range of self-contained cabins for those who prefer the comforts of home. We pride ourselves on maintaining a clean and friendly environment where you can unwind to the sounds of the flowing river and the local birdlife. We are a pet-friendly park, acknowledging that your four-legged companions are part of the family; we simply ask that they remain on a lead at all times on our campsites.
Exploring Bingara is a journey through time and nature. A short walk from our gates will lead you to the historic Gaskill Street, home to the beautifully restored Roxy Theatre and Greek Museum. For the nature lover, the Gwydir River is the lifeblood of our town, offering world-class inland fishing for Murray Cod and Golden Perch, as well as opportunities for kayaking or a refreshing swim at the adjacent Memorial Baths. Whether you are visiting for the famous Orange Festival, exploring the innovative “Living Classroom” regenerative farm project, or simply using our park as a restful stop on the Fossickers Way, we offer the perfect blend of country hospitality and riverside tranquillity. We look forward to welcoming you to Bingara and helping you discover the magic of the Gwydir Shire. Experience the fresh air, clear skies, and friendly atmosphere that make Bingara Riverside Caravan Park a favourite for return visitors.
