There are two distinct campgrounds sharing the "Darling River" name in outback NSW, and the snippets describe both.

The more prominent is Darling River campground in Kinchega National Park, near Menindee, which offers 34 riverside campsites suitable for tents, caravans, and camper trailers.

It is well known for birdwatching, with pink and red-tailed black cockatoos, egrets, black kites, and finches all commonly spotted. Swimming and barbecue facilities are available on site.

The second is Darling River campground (Yapara Paaka Thuru) in Toorale National Park, near Bourke.

This is a more basic bush camp, significant to the Kurnu-Baakandji People, and serves as a good base for exploring the Darling River Drive, Mount Talowla lookout, and the historic Toorale Homestead.

Fishing for yellowbelly among river red gums and coolibah trees is a popular activity here. Both campgrounds are remote outback settings requiring visitors to come well prepared.
