Temora Free Camp – RV Friendly Town Camping NSW

As a formally recognised ‘RV Friendly Town’, Temora sets a high standard for welcoming travelling nomads, and its excellent free camp at the Railway Station Precinct is a shining example of this commitment. This well-maintained and highly popular stopover provides self-contained travellers with a safe, convenient, and comfortable base from which to explore this fascinating Riverina town. Located on a large, level, gravel area adjacent to the historic and beautifully preserved railway station, the campground offers a unique atmosphere steeped in the golden age of rail travel. Its central location means you are just a short walk or cycle from Temora’s charming main street, encouraging visitors to support the local shops, pubs, and cafes that make this initiative possible.

The facilities provided are a credit to the local council and community. Campers have access to a clean toilet block and the crucial convenience of an on-site dump point, making it an ideal spot to reset and recharge for a night or two. The area is spacious enough to accommodate a good number of caravans and motorhomes, and it’s pet-friendly, allowing the whole family to enjoy the stay. The primary reason for many visits to Temora is, of course, the world-renowned Temora Aviation Museum, and this campground is the perfect launching pad for a day spent admiring the incredible collection of warbirds. After exploring the museum and the town’s other attractions, like the Rural Museum, you can return to the peace of the campground. For a free camp that ticks all the boxes—location, facilities, safety, and community spirit—the Temora Railway Precinct is one of the best in New South Wales.
