Sandon River campground – Yuraygir National Park (CG)

There are a total of 40 sites at this location. The location is suitable for Caravans, Camper Trailers, Camping beside my vehicle, and Tents.

Perched on a sandy peninsular by the Sandon River mouth, Sandon River campground presents you with river on one side and protected ocean on the other. Not only does this mean million-dollar views, but easy access for fishing, swimming and boating. Use the boat ramp and head out fishing or for a spot of canoeing, or find out about the site’s rich Aboriginal and European cultural heritage from the informative panels around the campground. This campground is also a great place to stop over when hiking the multi-day Yuraygir coastal walk.

Sandon village is on the southern side of the Sandon River, and is only reachable by travelling along the beach from Minnie Water or by boat.
