Cobrawonga Beach Number 2 Camping – Cobram East, Victoria
Experience the Solitude of Cobrawonga Beach on the Murray
Access to Cobrawonga Beach Number Two is via a network of forest tracks that meander through the reserve. While these tracks add to the sense of adventure, they require a degree of preparation. In dry conditions, the tracks are generally navigable by conventional vehicles with care, but after rain, the clay soil transforms into slippery mud, making a 4WD vehicle essential. Visitors should always check local track conditions and river levels before departing, as the area is subject to seasonal fluctuations and occasional flooding.
As a free bush camping site, Cobrawonga Beach Number Two operates on a “leave no trace” basis. There are no amenities on-site—no toilets, no showers, and no tap water. This primitive style of camping appeals to self-sufficient travellers who are well-equipped with their own supplies. It is crucial for visitors to bring portable toilets and carry out all rubbish to ensure the preservation of this pristine environment for future generations. The site’s surface is a mix of compacted dirt and sand, often softening near the riverbank, which provides a comfortable base for swags, tents, and camper trailers.
Recreational activities abound at this riverside haven. Anglers will find plenty of opportunities to cast a line for Murray Cod and Golden Perch, while the calm stretches of water are perfect for paddling in a kayak or canoe. Birdlife is prolific, with the calls of kookaburras and corellas providing a natural soundtrack to your stay. For those who enjoy a walk, the surrounding forest tracks offer miles of exploration. Whether you are seeking a quiet weekend away or a base for a longer fishing expedition, Cobrawonga Beach Number Two captures the essence of camping on the Murray.
