Tucked away in a peaceful pocket of town, Rich River Tourist Park is a relaxed, compact park that makes slowing down easy. Just a short stroll to the Murray River and close to Echuca’s town centre, it’s an ideal base for travellers who want comfort, convenience and a calm place to come home to at the end of the day.

With spacious sites, pet-friendly cabins and a welcoming atmosphere, the park suits couples, solo travellers and those exploring with their four-legged companions. Cool off in the swimming pool, fire up the BBQ in the undercover area or simply unwind and enjoy the quiet — all while being moments from the best of the region.

The Perfect Time to Visit

With the busy Christmas/New Year period wrapped up, late summer and early autumn bring warm days, pleasant evenings and fewer crowds. It’s the sweet spot to experience Echuca at your own pace.

From the park, you can wander into town along riverside walking and cycling trails, explore the historic Port of Echuca precinct or settle in for a relaxed afternoon by the water. It’s easy, unhurried travel — exactly how a river town should be enjoyed.
