We are Marilyn and Peter, we own, live and run a mixed farming business from this beautiful land, located in the Central Tablelands NSW.
The country varies between undulating and steep land and has 7 km of double frontage Bell River running through it.
The river can range from rapidly flowing to the more usual steady flowing and is most often very clear. The river has numerous swimming spots, some with a rocky base, and some with sand. The winding river and the varying countryside is incredibly peaceful and beautiful and is a perfect retreat for those looking to disconnect and relax.
The river has its origin near Orange and is also fed into by many springs. Weandre Creek runs in the backcountry and winds into the Bell River.
Our comfortable Hut is situated on an elevated spot looking down on the river with a graduated road leading down. It has everything you need for a relaxing, recharging stay in nature.
The Hut can accommodate up to 4 people, however, you also have the option for up to 6 additional guests to set up swags, tents, or a camper trailer nearby. There is space next to the Hut, or for those with a 4WD, there are some lovely camping sites down by the river.
We also offer sites for those looking for a self-contained camping site, in a beautiful location.
We love the solitude, the endless bush walks, swimming, and being immersed in nature. We are confident you will too.
We also have a lovely art gallery on the property, and for a small fee and prior arrangement, you are welcome to come and take a look.
From our farm, it is 60 km to Orange with all its wineries, food festivals, and many attractions. Wellington is 40 km and boasts the Wellington Caves. Dubbo is 90 km and is a big inland city and boasts the Western Plains Zoo.
We are so glad to let you know we have a new (but intentionally rustic) structure which houses a shower powered by gas and solar with gravity fed water.
Showers need to be short because water supply is limited.
In a separate space is a gas BBQ and sink.
This is pictured in our latest photos.
This building also looks down on the Bell river which looks sensational at the moment due to all the rain.

Meroo Hills is an operational sheep farm, so you may be surrounded by sheep or they might be in another paddock.
The farm is regenerative so we have lots of paddocks that sheep get rotated around each paddock to rest all the paddocks attempting to get maximum growth for the grasses and longevity.
Mainly we just want you to escape and relax.

Our stay was amazing and one of the best experiences our group has shared. Hosts Brian and Vicky were warm, welcoming, from arrival to departure. The space was set up with care and looked beautiful. Meeting Lucy, the pet deer, added a special touch and brought plenty of smiles. This place suits a peaceful getaway from city life, with nature all around and a clear night sky offering a truly magical view.

My family and I cannot recommend The Stockyard Experience enough!
The property is situated in an amazing area in Mumbil, yet still conveniently located a short distance from Wellington. The camp is well equipped—tents are spacious, the beds comfortable, the amenities clean and well maintained. As other reviewers have mentioned, Vicky and Brian are amazing host; who were prompt and open in their commutation from start to finish of our booking. Not only were they hospitable and warm, but they also incorporated small touches around the camp to make our stay even more welcoming.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time and definitely look forward to coming back the next opportunity we get to unplug and unwind.
Many thanks again Vicky and Brian!
In short: Perfect spot for a family’s first camp!

This place is awesome. An expanse of beautiful bush bordering state forest, an abundance of wildlife, no other Campers around, and a giant fireplace with loads of wood to burn. Vicky and Brian were super accomadating, and have thought of everything for a glamping trip , without robbing it of the camping experience. I'll be back for sure...

We absolutely loved our stay at the hut - we also had some tents outside and the entire experience was a delight. The hut is lovely and the area just gorgeous. Loved swimming, fishing, going for walks and enjoying millions of stars around the campfire. Couldn't recommend more highly. We will be back!

We had a great night at Bellandre—super quiet and peaceful with beautiful stars at night. Marilyn was so kind and helpful; even though we arrived after sunset, she met us at the gate and showed us around the cosy hut. The views of the river and surrounding hills were stunning. This was our first Hipcamp experience and we loved it. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

It’s the perfect getaway if you are looking for some peace and quiet while also having access to great facilities.
We would definitely recommend this experience to everyone!

Vicky and Brian have created a fantastic glamping site filled with thoughtful comforts and loads of creativity. The views are beautiful any time of the day but the sunsets are breathtaking. We loved being away from it all surrounded by sky and bush. The visit to see the deers was a highlight. The entire region is spectacular to drive through- a thorough recommendation all round.
