Wanderers Crossing River Retreat

Wanderers Crossing River Retreat is a riverfront caravan park on the Darling in Wentworth, walking distance to town and with a dedicated dog-friendly swimming spot right on the river. Pelicans cruise past the riverfront sites, sunrise comes up over the water, and the small-town feel is a large part of the appeal.

Dogs at Wanderers Crossing

Dogs are welcome on camping and caravan sites, and in selected cabins, though you need to confirm dog-friendly cabin availability when you book. Specific size limits and nightly pet fees are not published and can shift by season, so confirm the fee directly with the park before arrival. Caravan and camping guests get the most flexibility on where a dog can go, and the on-site river beach means a water-loving dog does not need a car trip for a swim.

Pepsi: the river beach is on-site, so there is no driving anywhere for a swim. Just wander down after you have set up camp.

Worth knowing

A camp kitchen and clean amenities back the riverfront setting, and the park is an easy walk into Wentworth's town centre for cafes and shops. Book a riverfront or caravan site if you want the most freedom with your dog. The park is at its best over the cooler months, when the river beach is comfortable rather than scorching.

Getting there and parking

Wentworth sits at the junction of the Darling and Murray rivers in far southwest NSW. The park is within walking distance of town, and sites take caravans, motorhomes and tents with parking at your site. Perry Sandhills and the Murray-Darling junction lookouts are short drives away for day exploring.

Close by with the dogs

If the riverfront sites are booked out, Wentworth Central Motor Inn is the in-town alternative, and NRMA Mildura Riverside Holiday Park is the bigger park option across the border. Lock 10 & Weir Restaurant is a local meal spot, and Mildura Fenced Dog Park gives your dog a secure run on a supply run to Mildura.
