Flight Springs Creek Campsite
Camping under the clear night sky!
We loved our Easter weekend camping.
Dave was welcoming and a great host.
Showed us some spectacular areas to explore whilst escorting us to our camp.
Camping spots are well kept and slashed/mowed.
Abundant wildlife, rock formations, caves, wombat barrows, dry creek bed and river, 4WD tracks and the night sky was so clear!
Tracks were all marked and despite being such a huge property, we did not get lost once!
Such a stunning property to explore.
We have plans to return.
Can't recommend David's property Enough.

Riverside Campsite
Undiscovered delight!
This site is an undiscovered delight! Bow River site is just one of many campsites at the “Hillside” property. This particular one is 4x4 accessible only, leading you to an incredibly beautiful and secluded spot, which is large enough for a couple of families camping together. It’s then just a very short walk down the bank to the beautiful Bow River which is perfect for swimming, fishing (we caught heaps of Carp along with sightings of Bass and eels) and bushwalking. Walking along the river leads you to beautiful caves and rock formations to explore. We saw Emus, goannas, kangaroos, turtles and eagles.
The host Dave is fantastic! Friendly and helpful and accomodating. He slashes your site before arrival and points out features of the property and places for you to explore on your stay while he is escorting you to your site.
This is off grid camping. There is no phone range - which is a big bonus in our books! However if you must check in with the real world, you can drive up the top of the hill, stand on one leg with a finger in the air and connect if you must.
We honestly could not believe we had so much space to ourselves for the entire Easter long weekend, seeing one other camping family only once the entire time. Our camp crew was 4 adults, 4 young kids and 2 dogs and none of us wanted to leave.
Thanks so much for having us at your piece of paradise Dave!

Frog Rock Campsite
Total relaxation
We had our initial Easter campsite fall through but thankfully found David’s listing. Despite being last minute he was very welcoming and found us a great quiet spot with a beautiful outlook. Property has many secluded corners and backs directly on to Goulburn River NP where you can walk along the river and have a picnic. Total peace and quiet (and millions of stars).

Gully View Campsite
Gully view stay - 5 stars
David was a fantastic host, his directions were very clear he had collected a nice pile of fire wood for us with a super fire pit, his property is very good for anyone wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle with plenty of space piece and quiet, an easy drive back to Merriwa if you need any supplies.
5 stars

The Hidden Gem of Merriwa
We stayed here over the Easter long weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our time . Walter and Dave went above and beyond, selecting a lovely spot for us, mowing it and providing a small stack of firewood to get us started. The property was fantastic to explore, with walking tracks , creeks and some dry river beds that were fantastic for fossicking. The views were amazing and there was plenty of wallaby’s and cows to keep us company.
The track in was a little rough but we managed fine with a Subaru forester with a trailer, and a Honda CRV. definitely recommend taking a car that has some clearance and and 4WD / AWD capabilities.
We cannot recommend this place enough and look forward to rebooking for our next weekend away.
