Meralda Station offers a spacious and peaceful camping experience, perfect for those seeking a secluded retreat. The facilities are well-maintained and clean, with highlights such as hot showers and fire pits at each site. Most reviewers appreciated the great communication from the hosts, Jenn and her family, who often went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. However, one review notes a negative experience with unexpected charges and a misunderstanding, which may warrant caution for some travelers.
Owners were great, campsite and amenities were spotless. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We looked at about the emus and talked about giraffes although none were sighted
We loved camping here. Flat sites and plenty of room. Flushing toilets and a hot shower. They also have a great outside bath experience you can book but unfortunately didn’t have time for this. Each site has a fire pit. You can BYO wood or buy a load for $20. We would recommend.
We had a lovely stay at Meralda Station in Cobar. Jenn was amazing at communicating with us and came down to see us the day after we arrived to introduce herself as we arrived late. We purchased fire wood which was a great addition to our camp set up. Would definitely recommend 😊
Great spot with good conveniences. The camping spot felt secluded and remote, with town only a short trip away for any last minute requirements. It was so lovely to be surrounded by Fairy Wrens and watch beautiful sunsets. Everything was easy to arrange with great communication from Jenn.
Good large clean secluded cleared site. Nice campfire with even a couple of chairs provided.
Great sleep, nice and quiet amongst the blue sky, leafy green trees and red soil
We absolutely loved our one night stop here! It was so beautiful and peaceful and there’s so many extras you can add to make your trip even more memorable! Highly recommend this stop 👌🏼
We absolutely loved our stay at Meralda estate and would recommend to everyone. Beautiful grounds – our spot overlooked a little dam. Amazing Sunset and a twin bath on raised platform overlooking scrubland with piping hot water. Who could ask for more?
We enjoyed the secluded area while camping, just watch out for thorns if you bring a dog, as there are many. There were a couple of chairs available by the designated campfire and options to collect your own wood.
We were required to pay more money after making the payment and reservation for 4 adults by the owner. Then, on our leave, we were falsely accused of using the showers as a dumping point by other campers and owner's. Which we did not and kindly explained to them. We won’t be back.
Such a beautiful stay up in the Boondocks, we have complete privacy which was great. We got the bees knees and dinner was absolutely delicious with the most beautiful lamb.
Jen was super friendly and welcoming bringing fire wood and dinner to our camp spot.
Sunset walk with the dogs was absolutely stunning, great hot showers and clean toilets. Camp kitchen was a great set up, the walk from the top camps tp facilities was easy and gorgeous.
Highly recommend to anyone and everyone.
Thanks Jen.
Stayed for one night in a secluded campsite. Perfect privacy and safety. Stunning sunset, and an amazing starry sky with a great warm fire set the scene for a lovely peaceful stay. Jenn,s communication was spot on and easy to follow. Would stay again.
Fantastic place for a van didn't even need to take it of the car it was so flat. The communal fire was lovely and the morning picturesque. Not much mor to say other than Jen and Hubby were really nice and happy to chat. The lamb curry also hit the spot nicely
The secluded spot was wonderful - just what we wanted. We also ordered the fresh eggs and firewood and enjoyed the fabulous sunset bath experience! Highly recommended. Thanks Jenn and family.
A great little find near Cobar. Easy to get to everything in town but still very rural. Plenty of space to spread out without being on top of other campers and a nice property to stroll around.
Meralda was lovely and quiet - perfect for a quick stopover. Was just a shame we got there late and could t explore it properly. Thanks for having us Jenn.
I loved Jenn’s campground, area was level and tidy. The amenities were fun and well thought out, clean and accessible. Directions and communication were precise. Would highly recommend for anyone travelling to or through Cobar.
We found the Rabbithole camp ground very secluded whilst also within walking distance to the toilet/ shower facilities. Those facilities were very clean and functional, importantly the water hot door an early morning July shower and shave. The hosts were excellent and the delivered camp oven meal to cook was delicious.
The property was within easy travel distance to Cobar. We commend Jenn and highly recommend at least two nights at Meralda Station
We loved our 2 night stay, it was very peaceful. The hot shower was a bonus. Our firewood was delivered to our site so we could enjoy a lovely bonfire in the fire pit. Jen’s directions were easy to follow.
