The ultimate Farm Solitude Camping experience for nature lovers seeking adventure, peace and serenity. This is not a place for parties and loud noise, but if you want to get away from it all and relax in a secluded Campsite surrounded by beautiful Native Bushland or explore miles of trails, gullies, caves, Flight Springs Creek and the exquisite Bow River, take some time to camp at Hillside, which is a remote 2000 acre working cattle property situated 23km west of MERRIWA, 17 km off the Golden Highway, adjoining the Goulburn River National Park. Most sites are in secluded area's far away from each other but at busy times people may pass by some sites to access the river. There are plenty of walking trails and for the enthusiastic bushwalker, the Bow River winds its way 7km down to the Goulburn River through the National Park with its gentle flowing stream and rock pools nestled between sandstone cliffs of caves. All sites are pet friendly, but pets must be kept on leash and cleaned up after. Campfires are allowed when there are no restrictions. Cut firewood is available on request $20 lots, cash only. 4WD and High vehicles are recommended as tracks have rocky outcrops and some areas of loose sand. Some sites can be accessed by 2WD. The Bow River area is strictly 4WD (Low Range) access ONLY as it is extremely steep with loose gravel and rocky outcrops. AWD (All wheel drive) vehicles will not get back out. For all 4WD areas please let your Tyres down to 25psi to help conserve our tracks. Outback 4WD tracks are now open for campers to explore as well as Hidden Valley. All sites have toilets, but guests will need their own shower facilities and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. Phone Service is very limited in this area. If you email a request, sometimes it may take a few hours for us to reply. No motorbikes or chainsaws and no hunting allowed. WARNING: There are many areas of cliff edges and shear drops! Children must be supervised at all times while exploring these areas. There are also dams at or near some of the campsite areas that could be dangerous if children wander off exploring alone.

This site has its own access to a beautiful spot on the River, Bow Horseshoe which is about 1km down the river from the "Bow River Site" entrance gate. A 10 min walk along potato gully, until it reaches the river. You can come back the same way or you can do the 1.5 km loop which brings you back along the other side of the ridge. We have tried to retain the history of the property, and the story goes that early settlers would grow their potatoes along this gully and that is how it got its name. Campers can also access the river from two other locations and explore the 4WD tracks.

Bow River Campsite
Great spot here bordering Goulburn River National Park. Dave has put a huge effort into building walking trails and has created a great mud map to show you the way. We took a 4wd only campsite. Make sure you do have a good 4wd if you take this option because you definitely need it to get back out. Plenty of wildlife around. Even turtles in the river.. Plenty to explore.

Hillside at Merriwa is a beautiful 2,000-acre property. Dave is very responsive to enquiries and will meet you at the gate to show you to your campsite. The wildlife is incredible — we saw goannas, an echidna, wombats, plenty of wallabies and kangaroos, and even a few eagles. Dave clearly puts a lot of work into maintaining the many campsites, and the 4WD tracks are very well kept and well signposted. We found a gorgeous spot on the Bow River for lunch and a swim. Dave discourages the collection of firewood as some guests haven’t done the right thing in the past, so you’ll need to bring your own or purchase some from him. And whatever you do, don’t drive through Merriwa without getting a pie from the bakery — they’re delicious.

My partner and I have stayed here twice now this spring and are already keen to go back. The first time we stayed in the group sites but had no issue with noise or neighbours. We explored the tracks and caves and river, and had such a good time that we came back a month later with friends. Stayed on the Flights Ridge site that has awesome views and the cleanest port-a-loo I’ve ever used! (1 loo per site!) 4x4 tracks are well looked after, well sign posted and varied in difficulty. The place is out in the country but the host gives accurate arrival details and meets you at the gate! The site is amazing and super varied, and Dave the host is super hospitable, helpful and friendly. We will absolutely be back!

My son and I loved camping at David’s place and what a place it was! Absolutely beautiful country, and whilst we’ve camped at a few big properties (couple of thousand acres) this was by far the most camper friendly I’ve experienced. David was an absolute legend, very informative and super helpful, he met us at the gate and escorted us out to Riverside campsite, explained everything along the way. They have sign-posted and mapped the entire property making it almost impossible to get lost. We enjoyed long hikes into the bush, caves and all across acres of amazing bushland and lookouts. The best part was walking along Bow River for km’s and swimming in the waterholes. There’s not a huge amount of water this time of year with the drought, but beautiful enough to enjoy what’s there. I couldn’t imagine how incredible the river would be after some proper soaking rains. Animals everywhere, and the wildlife here will surprise you. Highly recommended and please look after the land by leaving no trace. Thanks David, Max and I loved your place and can’t wait to come back again soon.

Had the most amazing few days on the property. Toilet, dog friendly, on a little river, able to have a camp fire, shade......honestly just ticked all boxes. The night sky's are jaw dropping and watching 🛰 satellites are lots of fun. Relaxing, bushwalking and a bit of 4WDing Above and beyond with their signage and mud maps for 4WD tracks, including how tricky each are. Walking trails clearly displayed. AMAZING caves, escarpments and lots of critters to watch. Host were fantastic with their communication and making sure we were happy. Cannot thank them enough for allowing us onto their property. Rugged and beautiful.

We had a wonderful camping trip at Hillside. We stayed at Frog rock site which was private and easy to drive to as well. We were there for 3 nights and spent our days hiking the well marked trails around the property (directly adjoining Goulburn River Natl Park) and enjoyed the swimming in the pristine Bow river. We felt lucky to have found this place. David was a wonderful host and kindly helped us out when we ran out of our gas for cooking. I highly recommend this camp to anyone looking for a peaceful stay in the Australian bush.

Private camping
3 m pop-up camper ·
Riverside
I stayed at Riverside camp site which required 4WD to get into. Sitting up above the Bow River, this camp site was private, with only a couple of other sites within squinting distance. The area was flat with wild life in abundance. Kangaroos came through twice daily, some wombats at night and an extremely large goanna came wandering through. The Bow River itself was a short walk from the site and still had flowing water which was enough to paddle in and let the dogs cool off. Dave was an excellent host - escorting me to the site whilst letting me know of the 4wd tracks, walking areas and other interesting things to know or do. I’d highly recommend Hillside and will certainly be back.

From the moment we entered the gates of this stunning property a sense of calm and tranquillity washed over us. Dave's property is just perfect. This was our second visit and it was even better this time. New tracks to explore and well marked walking trails made for a great couple of days. With so many different campsites to choose from, each with their own toilet,combined with the stunning views and wildlife it is arguably the best farm stay in the country. Dave works tirelessly maintaining and improving the property and it shows. Follow the few simple rules and this place will not disappoint.

Wallaby Flat
We had an incredible time at Wallaby Flat, the campsites were extremely generous in terms of space, David was super friendly and knowledgeable about his land. The 4WD tracks that David has put in are the highlight, we didn’t manage to drive all of them in one day, we can’t wait to go back and explore the rest of the property.

Flights Ridge
Good easy spot for the kids 1st camping trip. Plenty of room spaced out away from others campers. Portaloo was clean and better then expected.

Eagle Ridge
We loved camping at Eagle Ridge. Beautiful views and dispersed sites so we felt like we were truly out in nature. Excellent tracks to walk on the property and down into the park. We enjoyed the 4WD tracks as well. Everything is well labeled with maps. Highly recommend!
