Big River Campground sits among the trees above the Goulburn River in the central precinct of Goulburn River National Park, New South Wales, roughly 74 km from Mudgee and 77 km from Merriwa.

The bush setting is well suited to family camping, swimming in river waterholes, birdwatching, hiking, and exploring nearby sandstone caves and Aboriginal heritage sites. Wildlife in the area includes kangaroos, kookaburras, goannas, and foxes.

The campground accommodates tents, camper trailers, and vehicle-based camping on unpowered, unmarked sites.

Facilities include toilets, barbecue facilities, and picnic tables; visitors must bring their own drinking water, cooking water, and firewood, as collecting wood within the national park is prohibited. There is no phone reception on site.

Access is via unsealed road suitable for 2WD vehicles in dry conditions, with no access for long vehicles. Dogs are not permitted.
