Thurra River Campground is a campground in Croajingolong National Park, reservable through Parks Victoria. The area has bounced back from the devastating fires of 2020 and the 2022 floods which destroyed the Thurra River Bridge. A new bridge opened in September 2025. Set between the meandering Thurra River and choppy swells of the Southern Ocean, the spacious Thurra River Campground is the perfect base for a great family escape. Thurra North Camping Area is located on an elevated site that was recently used as a works compound during the nearby Thurra River Bridge rebuild. The campground offers sweeping views of the ocean, Thurra River, and surrounding dune systems. There are 4 non-powered campsites, and a day visitor area. Toilets are not provided in this camping area, so suits vans with an ensuite only. Campfires are only allowed in designated firepits. The campground is situated approximately 200 metres north of the Thurra River bridge along Point Hicks Road. A shared picnic table is available in the visitor area near the southwest corner at the campground entrance. It is recommended you bring your own drinking water. The campground is accessible by 2WD vehicles via Point Hicks Road. The site surface is compacted crushed rock. These sites are located close together and are ideal for group bookings. It lists 33 bookable sites across Thurra River Camp (32) and Thurra North Campsite (no toilets provided). Recent rates for the stays checked ran from $16.90 to $17.40 a night, depending on the site type chosen. Popular dates here go early: the busiest holiday and long-weekend nights are often fully reserved well before the trip, and once a date fills the reservation system simply shows no availability for it at all. After that point the usual way to get a site is a cancellation. When a booked party changes plans their site is released back into the system and briefly becomes available again, frequently at an awkward hour and often taken within minutes by whoever happens to be looking. grabio watches Thurra River Campground on a fixed one-minute schedule and compares what is bookable now against the previous check. The moment a site matching your dates opens, whether from a cancellation or from newly released inventory, it alerts you so you can book it yourself on the official Parks Victoria system. It never books, holds, or reserves anything on your behalf; it only tells you the instant a spot appears, so you are not left refreshing a booking page by hand late at night. Alerts go out by email by default, with optional Telegram and text messages, and a watcher can cover an exact set of dates or a flexible window, so you only hear about openings that fit the trip you are actually planning. Because grabio only ever reads the public reservation system, it sees exactly what Parks Victoria shows, and it keeps watching until a matching site opens or your dates pass. Nightly fees, site restrictions, vehicle and equipment limits, and the current booking window are set by Parks Victoria and shown on the official page for Thurra River Campground.

- Grabio polls the Parks Victoria reservation system roughly every minute and compares the available sites against the previous check. The moment a spot opens at Croajingolong National Park - Thurra River Campground, often a last-minute cancellation, a email alert goes out right away, so nobody has to keep refreshing the booking page by hand.
- How fast does an alert arrive after a cancellation?
- Scans run continuously on a one-minute cycle, so an alert typically lands within a few minutes of a site opening at Croajingolong National Park - Thurra River Campground.
