We had a lovely site on the river. Fantastic fishing - we caught plenty of carp and some yellow belly. Host Kim was so friendly and really went that little bit extra to ensure guests were happy. Will definitely return

Very convenient bush off grid camp
Hosts go out of their way to ensure guests enjoy their stay
Felt the washing machine and provision of generatored power in the bathroom was unnecessary - some guests will always take advantage of anything free like running the generator all day to top up their power bank boxes!
Your highly recommended- historically very interesting

Camping anywhere along the Darling River is amazing. Staying at Trilby Station takes it to another level. Liz is very welcoming and generous.
The campsites are large and well dispersed along the river.
We highly recommend Trilby Station to anyone venturing into the outback.

Beautifully maintained campsite and amenities. I stopped in here for 1 night on a road trip and my only regret was I didn’t stay longer. Liz was also very helpful. Also don’t follow google maps to get here or you might get bogged!
Cheers Liz!

Liz, thank you for being so generous with all that you’ve built. I’m in awe, I’ve no idea how you keep everything so tip top and clean. Honestly, the most thoughtful camp we’ve ever stayed. So beautiful, so private and shout out to the sun, the stars, the pizza oven and the animals for putting on a show. Can’t wait to be back and camp along the billabong.
