Are you planning to head to the 2026 Wentworth Flood Rally or making the pilgrimage to the legendary Mundi Mundi Bash?
Why just visit when you can stay a while and soak up everything beautiful Wentworth has to offer.

Whether you’re towing a caravan, pitching a tent under a galaxy of outback stars, or prefer four solid walls and a fluffy pillow, we’ve got you covered:

🏕️ Caravan Parks & Riverside Camping
Park up along the Murray or Darling Rivers and wake to pelicans gliding past like they own the place. Powered sites, unpowered sites, shady spots and river views… bliss.

🚐 Free & Low-Cost Camping Options
For the seasoned road warriors travelling in convoy, there are great budget-friendly spots to roll in, set up and swap stories by torchlight.

🏡 Motels, Cabins & Holiday Homes
Prefer air-con, hot showers and zero peg-hammering? Our cosy cabins, motels and holiday rentals are rally-ready and bash-approved.

🌾 Station Stays & Unique Outback Escapes
Stretch out, breathe deep, and experience the wide-open spaces that make this corner of NSW unforgettable.

Big events mean big crowds, so book early to avoid sleeping in the ute (unless that’s your vibe 😎).

Start planning your stay here 👉 www.experiencewentworth.com.au/Stay-and-Relax.aspx

Make Wentworth your basecamp, your backstage pass, and your post-rally recovery zone. We’ll see you by the river! 🌅

Crossing the bridge into Louth is a bit like entering another time zone… not because of the clock - but because things slow down properly.

In fact, locals reckon there’s only one real traffic hazard on the Louth bridge: someone stopping halfway across to take a photo of the Darling River… and deciding to stay for a beer instead.

By the time you roll off the other side, you’re no longer just passing through - you’re officially on Louth time.
