Solo Camping on the Snowy River : [ An Unforgettable Location ]

Solo Camping on the Snowy River in this Unforgettable location will be one solo trip i will always remember.
This solo camping location is as good as it gets. Stunning views over the Snowy River.
On the drive into the Snow River National Park, i stopped at Little River Falls. It's only a short walk into the waterfalls, and well worth going in for a look.
Leaving the Little River Waterfalls, i continue into the Snowy River National Park to find a camping spot on the Snowy River.
I have to say, where i have set up my solo river camping spot over looking the mighty Snowy River is simply one of the best river camping locations i have ever found.
It was such a relaxing camping spot with the sounds of the bush and the Snowy River just below me to pass my time.
I even tried my luck fishing in the Snowy River. No luck this time.
The Snowy River is such an iconic mountain river system that flows through two States in Australia. Eventually running out into Bass Strait on the coast near Orbost.
Packing up camp from this beautiful location was hard to do. But, i now had a bucket list location to visit and explore the history that surrounds McKillops Bridge.
I have been wanting to visit McKillops bridge for many years.
Driving across the bridge for the first time as the Snowy River flows underneath, was an amazing moment.
The history that is attached to McKillops bridge is very interesting. The original bridge was swept away from a massive flood in January of 1934. The second bridge was built, which is what you can see today.
Solo river camping beside the Snowy River and seeing McKillops Bridge, will have lasting memory's for a long time.
I will be back for sure.

@@timbates4wdadventures Tim the intro was an epic piece of solo filming and editing. We counted 20 or so angles just up to driving into camp, the splicing made it feel like you had a whole crew, the tall boom angle up the tree in camp was inspired, very much appreciate the work that took. "Casey" level effort, as many comment on his vlogs.

Nice Batesy, you WEEKDAY bandit you lol. Gr8 segment, the cracking of the fire was awesome. Gr8 habit you have Batesy of rocking up with a load of wood,. The camp site look well used, so being prepared with fire wood comes down to experience. Thx for the history on the bridge, I guess climate change happened back in 1934 also.

[@timbates4wdadventures]

G'day Shayne, Thanks for that. It was a crackn spot to kick back for a few days. Yeah, i always get a roof load of fire wood before getting to camp. You cant always be guaranteed on having fire wood when you get to where you're camping. What i don't use, i leave behind for the next person.

[@greghammond7956]

Great video as always mate! What's the track into McKillops Bridge like, found really conflicting reports on that, would really like to get your opinion on it.

[@timbates4wdadventures]

G'day Greg, The road not long after i left the waterfalls is sign posted not suitable for caravans. Not hard to see why when you drive it. For about 20ks, the road is a one vehicle track, with very limited opportunities to pass if another vehicle comes the other way. A lot of reversing would be going on if another vehicle comes the other way. There's a lot of tight blind corners, that you need to be careful on. Depending what time of year you plan to go. But, to drive that road during the busy holiday times, yeah it would be pretty full on. Nothing to be scared about driving it, just be super careful on some of the tight sections. Hope that helps mate. Cheers Tim.

[@grahameroberts8109]

Love the country and the effort you put into your vids. Whilst watching your latest one, I noticed some good old Aussie adjectives you use.

Oh!! My home country! Thanks for such a wonderful video. Suddenly in my dotage I've been planning to take up camping. My first attempts will be on my cousin's property which is on the NSW side of the border (just). The thing that's bothering me are the wild dogs & pigs. Have you been hassled by them & what did you do? Adding a gun a good idea? We often see both dogs & pigs around on the river, so, am I being an old duck, am I being too worried? I don't fancy a big razorback rooting through my camp. If you want a nice remote camp in that area I'd recommend Merambego on the NSW side. It's not on the Snowy - basically you can't get through to the river - but it's lovely country with some great walking options.

Another great spot and video thanks mate. What brand is your awning? I have a 270 deg. and am thinking of ditching it as it is a bit big and cumbersome for what I want. Yours looks fairly easy to set up and you use it a lot so I would be interested to hear your opinions on it. Cheers.

[@timbates4wdadventures]

Gday mate, Yeah those 270 awnings are big and heavy. One item I wouldn’t have. My awning is 2.5 x 2.5 Ironman Great quality, and yes I use it all the time because it’s just simple and easy to set up. Thanks for your reply mate. It’s a great spot. Cheers Tim.

What a spot to camp mate! It is the same place we spoke about the other day at the Dargo pub. (less the bullet lol) Took yours n Bullbars advice on furthering the trip back north too. love your backyard!! cheers

Ahh Gday Jon, Thanks for the chat mate in the Dargo pub the other night. Im glad you had a great return trip back. That spot where i camped is so good. I will get back at some stage. Cheers Tim.

[@stevespoor9163]

Mate, what a trip. I did that trip a long time ago now and can’t wait to take the kids up to show them. Just wondering though, would those tracks be suitable for a camper trailer? It looked ok. Like a highway in some spots. Keep up the great work mate. Loving it.

[@timbates4wdadventures]

Gday Steve , It’s a great spot mate, I hope you can make a return visit with your family soon. As far as taking a camper trailer down. The drive after the waterfalls to the bridge is a long way. It’s sign posted not suitable for caravans. The road is very narrow for long sections, if you came across a vehicle coming the other way. It would be a mission getting past. It’s a one vehicle track with steep drop offs. Totally up to you mate. But, you will need to be good at reversing a trailer if someone comes along on a narrow dirt road. Hope that helps mate. Cheers Tim.

[@stevespoor9163]

@@timbates4wdadventures cheers mate. Yeah it does help and sound very familiar from when I went last time. The trailer I have is only a small mdc soft floor but might make a base camp somewhere. Oh and that burger you made looked bloody delicious. Thanks again for your help 🤙🍻

Great video Tim, hoping to get there late March. What is camping like at Little River Falls, I believe that is as far as you should take a caravan?

[@timbates4wdadventures]

G'day Tony, Yeah mate just behind where i parked my Patrol. You could set up a van there. Drop toilets. Would be nice by the Little River. Yeah, you sure wouldn't want to head down with a van on. Extremely tight track all the way down to the bridge. Hope you get up that way in March mate. Cheers Tim.

I'm a Sydney sider and have had the pleasure of seeing some of that country taking the rough roads back from visits to Melbourne. I've crossed the bridge a couple of times and the road to Jindabyne NSW by the Snowy twice via Suggan Buggan and Barry way through the black cypress forests. Thanks for refreshing my memory .

[@garywinkworth3380]

hey tim hows it going. ? what i meant by how mckillops brige was built is more so how hard it would have been back in the day to get the materilas up there. id imagine they would have had to camp in there to get the job done, its so far in.

[@timbates4wdadventures]

@@garywinkworth3380 yeah mate. When you see where the bridge is located. It’s a long way in from anywhere to where it stands. In the early 1900’s they wouldn’t of had modem transport like we have today.
