Cobrawonga Beach Number 2 Camping Area Ovens River Victoria

Deep within the River Murray Reserve lies Cobrawonga Beach Number Two, a spectacular and secluded camping destination located in Cobram East, Victoria. Positioned along the winding banks of the mighty Murray River, this site offers campers a genuine bush experience surrounded by the majestic river red gum forests that define the region. Unlike the more frequented spots closer to town, Cobrawonga Beach Number Two provides a sense of isolation and tranquility that is highly sought after by those looking to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with nature.

The site is renowned for its spacious layout and direct river access, making it an ideal spot for launching a tinny, setting up a riverside camp kitchen, or simply relaxing by the water’s edge. The area forms part of the “Peaches and Cream” country, a nod to the rich agricultural heritage of the surrounding Cobram and Barooga districts. The contrast between the dry, earthy tones of the bushland and the vibrant green of the river red gums creates a stunning backdrop for photography and relaxation.

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.
