Bourkes Bend No 3

Bourkes Bend No. 3 is a free bush campsite on the Murray River, located within the River Murray Reserve near Burramine in Victoria's Central Murray region.

Managed by Parks Victoria, the site sits on a large, open grassy clearing on a low embankment above an extended sandy beach, with limited shade. It accommodates tents, camper trailers, and caravans on unpowered sites.

The area is well suited to swimming, with a long sandbank extending into the river, and kayaking is also popular. A long-drop or composting toilet is available on site, though campers should otherwise be self-sufficient and carry out all rubbish.

Non-potable water may be present but must be boiled before drinking. The access track is winding, rough, and can become boggy in wet weather or winter, when four-wheel drive is recommended. Dogs are not permitted.
