Meralda is a family owned property, we are nestled in the outback town of Cobar. We are offering seasonal paddock eco camping stays on our gorgeous little property only minutes from the Cobar town centre. If you after a secluded, peaceful outback setting where you can immerse yourself into bush nature, Then our place is for you. We have allocated a nice open space for you to choose your site; set up under the shade of a majestic gum or in the open paddock by our dam. Unwind and cosy up around our campfire and enjoy our magnificent sunsets and as the evening turns into night and the breathtaking star show begins. With no artificial light, stargazing at our property is simply incredible. You can also see native wildlife kangaroos, emus and echidnas among some of the native wildlife that can be spotted here. If you’re a bird-watcher, you’ll love the vast array of galahs, major mitchell's, parrots and wrens nestled in the trees. On our little property we farm sheep and goats. There are always strays, and dropped off orphans that become our little babies. We offer a complimentary petting tour for families who want to get up close with our station friendly animals. Lots of fun can be had in the dam -Swimming is permitted and water sport activities on request or BYO Kayak. We recommend extending your stay at least two nights at the station and taking the time to explore Cobar; a unique town, rich in mining heritage and natural attractions. Visitors will be amazed by open-cut mines, Aboriginal rock art, museums and colonial buildings and new sound chapel. If your into bike riding or long walks we have a bitumen walking/bike track that goes into town not far from our station entry. If you want to duck into the local club to have dinner, or a few drinks there's a courtesy bus to Golf Club Available that will collect you from our front gate. Add on extras to make your stay more memorable with tours, hampers, animal feeding, holistic treatments and if any farm work is happening your welcome to watch or join in.

Shits Creek

Great spot! Total seclusion.

Thanks Jenn, we really enjoyed our stay, very secluded spot at Shits creek. We enjoyed being totally secluded. Really appreciated the little touches like having a big fire pit, wood and comfy chairs waiting for us upon arrival. We didn't use the toilets or showers as we had our own, but checked them out on our way out and they actually looked very clean and inviting - despite the quirky outside appearance. Would love to stay again when we are next headed out to Cobar. Should have stayed at least 2 nights.

Shits Creek

Jenn is a fantastic host, kept us updated on weather and messaged to see if we needed anything. Our camp area was spacious and quiet. Close to town for supplies. Will definitely be back.

Eco Camping Sites - Main Campground

Beautiful open spaces

We loved our night here! Beautiful and isolated, we utilised the open shower and the camp kitchen and they were great. But a warning - we parked in a particularly burry-patch of ground, and ended up with flat bicycle tyres after riding around all afternoon. Not used to that where we're from!

We loved the privacy and the sense of being all alone even though it’s wasn’t very far out of town. We had a fantastic fire in the pit provided with the wood delivered right to our campsite. It was perfect!
