A beautiful, secluded location, only the sound of the birds and the river flowing on three sides. Heaps of room to kick a football out just relax by the river. Would highly recommend to anyone who likes the bush as well as peace and quiet.

Felt like a private slice of a fairytale, the land was beautiful and well kept- short grass in the main camp spot so no worries for snakes, paths thoughtfully cut through wild blackberry to lead you to more magical sights. Such friendly and thoughtful communication with Sam. Will definitely return :)

My stay at Merrimans Creek Seclusion was truly out of this world. The location is spotless, beautifully maintained, and incredibly peaceful. The campsite itself is something special — surrounded by the creek, with crystal clear water at the perfect temperature, it felt like a hidden paradise.
Sam was a fantastic host. He was friendly, helpful, and made sure we had all the information we needed ahead of time, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.
I honestly can’t wait to come back to this magical place next year. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and relaxing escape.

4 nights of blissful, rejuvenative solitude, surrounded in 3 directions by a clear creek & lush, verdant green. Warm, humid & rainy weather made the place all the more beautiful & it was lovely to swim in the cold water in the gentle misty rain. I was amazed to see a large freshwater crayfish. I slept in my super cosy swag with only the sounds of the rushing creek, gentle rain, crackling campfire, insects & birdsong. Such a beautiful & peaceful place. Sam was friendly, welcoming & only to happy to help if needed.

Stand-out location, camp-site is gorgeous, clean , the photos don't do it justice. We took 2 labradors who had a ball roaming and exploring. Sam was just the best host, could not have been more helpful and didn't hesitate in putting aside his time to come help if something went wrong. 10/10 would recommend. Will definately return

We had the most relaxing stay at this private campsite. The sound of the creek flowing nearby and the constant chorus of birds created the most peaceful atmosphere.
Loved the many waterholes to cool off in
Sam was a truly wonderful host. He was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly responsive.
If you’re looking for a quiet escape surrounded by nature, this place is pure magic. We can’t wait to come back!

Such a great camping experience! So good to have the whole place to ourselves, it really helped with the development of our nervous, selectively reactive dog & our water obsessed Jack Russell loved exploring the many different spots along the creek. Sam’s directions were clear & he was a great host! We can’t wait to return! Thanks Sam & family for sharing such a magical place.

An absolute gem of a spot. Beautiful, relaxing and isolated from the rest of the world. Massive fire pit and access to the creek on your door step. Perfect for the kids and dogs to run around and explore within a gated area. Great option if your dogs don’t like camping near others too!

Absolutely stunning campsite, my friends and I had an incredible time exploring the surrounding creek and seeing all the abundant wildlife and nature there was to explore. The site has been maintained really well, and the level of privacy made the entire experience even more peaceful. When we were leaving the next morning, a massive tree fell down onto the road! Yet Sam and his family so kindly helped us out and a couple hours later the tree was cleared! We will definitely be coming back in the summertime. Thank you Sam!

Must visit creekside oasis

An absolute oasis! Surrounded by the creek on all 3 sides, it was beautiful. Site was very clean and totally private.
BYO firewood and lots of it.
Host was very helpful, site was easy to get in and out of even in the rain and a 2WD.

The location is absolutely beautiful and well worth experiencing, but it’s best suited for dry summer conditions. The access track is extremely steep, poorly maintained, and in wet weather, it becomes challenging, and potentially dangerous to navigate with a caravan. Traction is a major issue, particularly when trying to leave the site. With no mobile reception in the area, the situation can quickly become stressful if you run into difficulties.
We had two caravans with us, one only just made it up the hill, while the other required multiple attempts to get out. If another van had been arriving or leaving at the same time, it could have led to serious complications, including the risk of jackknifing. Definitely a spot to approach with caution unless conditions are dry and you’re confident in your vehicle’s capabilities.

Awesome, secluded spot away from everyone. Fresh flowing creek, plenty of space and levelled area. Don't expect to charge your batteries with sun during the winter months as it very shaded. These spots are why we love hip camp
