Situated on the Barwon River just 5km outside of Walgett, Muddy Waters is a Fisherman’s dream... Enjoy direct river access and try your luck at the seasonal bounty of Murray Cod, Golden Perch (yellow-belly) and huge blue crayfish! Muddy Waters is an ideal location for your adventures and outback experience. Walgett has a rich Indigenous and agricultural history, with significant sites located nearby. Walgett means “where two rivers meet” and Muddy Waters is less than 1km by boat from the junction of the Namoi and Barwon River. Set up base here and do daily tours at your own leisure. Brewarrina Fish Traps are 130km west & Lightning Ridge & Grawin/Glengarry Opal Fields situated 70km north. Enjoy a soak in a number of artesian bore baths in the shire like the often overlooked and quieter one in Walgett. No toilets here - campers must be self-contained and please leave no trace. Dogs welcome but kept under control as we have farm animals and dogs. Access to the campsites is possible for all types of vehicles and rigs. Campfires ok, and free firewood to collect.

A typical country river campsite right on the Barwon River, complete with towering gum trees and plenty of cockatoos. A good fishing spot although I do lose a few lures. Would definitely return if I’m ever in the area.

Muddy Waters, dispersed creek sites
We stayed a night in our tents at Muddy Waters. Host Luke was welcoming and easy going. Such a beautiful place to stay, perfect spot for our campfire by the creek and bushland outlook.

Great location. Close to town
Great spot on the river, lots of bird life. We only had one other person camping in area. Reason for not putting great: loud water pump ran for a few hours on dusk which ruined it for us. I think neighbours property.

Can't recommend this place highly enough. We loved camping at Muddy Waters! The hosts were so friendly and welcoming. My boys spent our entire stay fishing and trying their luck for yabbies. Thank you Luke and Carolyn for an awesome stay!!

Peaceful spot right on the river
Absolutely loved our stay at Muddy Waters. It was peaceful and safe and we will definitely stay here again if in the area. Nicely spread out campsites along the river. Thanks for having us. 10/10.

Great spot
We had a beautiful river front site, metres from the river! Sites were flat and all had a fire pit. The peacocks visited us each afternoon before perching in their tree. We would definitely visit again.
