Coonamble, NSW – Kui Parks is delighted to welcome Coonamble Riverside Holiday Park, a peaceful riverside retreat set along the Castlereagh River. This newest addition to the Kui Parks network captures the heart of country New South Wales – where genuine hospitality, wide-open skies, and the simple pleasures of life by the river await every caravanner and traveller.
Meet the Mayor: A Town That Supports Locals
Coonamble Mayor Danny Keady shared what makes this small outback town such a memorable stop for visitors.
“Coonamble has a proud history and a welcoming spirit. Our community is built on local businesses, volunteer-run events, and agriculture,” said Mayor Keady.
A lifelong local and farmer himself, the Mayor says the town’s connection to the land, and to each other, runs deep.
“Coonamble has a proud history and a welcoming spirit. Our community is built on local businesses, volunteer-run events, and agriculture”
“We see a lot of travellers on their way north or out west, and once they stop in Coonamble, they’re often surprised by the beauty of our river, our sunsets, and the big open skies. There’s something about this place that slows you down – in a good way.”
He added that since COVID-19, more caravanners and road-trippers have discovered Coonamble as a genuine outback destination.
“Tourism has become a big part of our story now. We’re proud that people come here, not just to pass through, but to stay, to meet our locals, and to experience our country community.”
A Riverside Retreat on the Castlereagh River
Coonamble Riverside Holiday Park reflects that same welcoming spirit. Situated beneath shady trees with peaceful views of the Castlereagh River, it’s a haven for caravanners, campers, and travellers looking to unwind.
The park offers spacious powered and unpowered sites, a premium two-bedroom self-contained accessible cabin, and a recently upgraded outdoor camp kitchen (refurbished in 2024).
Guests love its relaxed atmosphere and friendly service – as one recent reviewer shared:
“This was my second year camping at this park on our trip around NSW. The new camp kitchen with two gas BBQs was most appreciated and spotlessly clean. Tara went out of her way to make sure we knew where everything was and took the time to show us around. She is an absolute asset to the park.”
Your Gateway to Outback NSW Attractions
Coonamble is in a fantastic location for visitors to explore some of NSW’s most spectacular landscapes, including the Pilliga Forest, the Macquarie Marshes and Warrumbungle National Park, notably the Siding Spring Observatory. Each offers incredible natural beauty, walking trails, and wildlife encounters just a short drive away. It’s also a great base to take a day trip to Lightning Ridge, a black opal country town with fascinating attractions such as the Chambers of the Black Hand, Amigo’s Castle and the Artesian Bore Baths.
Travellers can also follow the Great Artesian Drive, a scenic road trip linking the Coonamble, Gilgandra, and Warrumbungle Shires, where natural wonders, warm hospitality, and country charm connect to create a true “Real Country” experience.
Coonamble Events and Local Attractions
Visitors can enjoy water sports such as kayaking, fishing, or swimming along local rivers, or simply relax and take in the town’s peaceful riverside setting. Plans are also underway for local hot springs, set to further enhance Coonamble’s appeal as a wellness and relaxation destination.
The town also buzzes with energy during annual events like the Coonamble Rodeo & Campdraft – the largest event of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere – along with the Country Champions Race Meeting (March), the Vision Splendid Music Festival (October long weekend), and the Coonamble Show (May).
