About Wentworth & the Murray-Darling Confluence
Wentworth is a small outback town at the junction of the Murray and Darling rivers in far western NSW. The surrounding landscape is shaped by these rivers and their wetlands, making it a natural base for water-focused camping and walking. The area attracts caravanners and campers seeking river access and birdwatching opportunities in the Mildura wine region.
Walks & Trails
Over a dozen walks are scattered across the nearby wetlands and river country, mostly within 15–32km of town. Close options include the Merbein Common Archaeological Walk, Catfish Billabong Walk, and Chaffey Landing Walk. Longer walks into the wetlands include the Bob Corbould Wetlands Walk and South Mildura Wetlands Walking Trail, both around 30km away.
Camping
Campgrounds line the rivers within walking distance of town. Wanderers Crossing River Retreat, Lock 10, and Wargan Bend Camp are all within 3km. Further upriver, Yelta Waterhole Campsite, Yelta Billabong Camp, and Curlwaa Caravan Park offer more options between 6–7km away.
Wineries & Cellar Doors
The Mildura wine region begins just across the border in Victoria. Australian Vineyards Buronga Hill Vinery and Stanley Wines are both around 24–25km away, with larger estates like Trentham Estate and Nursery Ridge Estate Wines further afield.
