The farm is very beautiful and we all enjoyed wandering around the rocky property. The dogs especially liked playing along the shore of the dam. The fenced in paddock was very helpful to keep them contained as well as these city dogs aren't super used to cows yet. Some additional signage to make it clear where to access the paddock would be great, as we were a little confused as to where to drive in once we arrived. It would also have been wonderful if the cows hadn't been in the paddock before we arrived as the dogs could not stop obsessing over the cow poop and we ended up clearing an area for them. I totally understand we booked very last minute and this was probably not possible. Glad we found a work around. Overall, really great play to camp for a couple of nights. The shelter kept us out of the sudden wind and rain storm as well.

Stunning for a longer stay
Camp was in a beautiful setting and completely peaceful. We were there alone and thankful for the trust of the owner's to allow us to experience their stunning property. Unfortunately we arrived later in day and may have not been the best choice for an overnight stop due to the proximity into the property from town. Definitely a great spot if you are staying for a few days to enjoy all that it has to offer. We left early next morning before pub opened to hand over keys so a little bit of time wasted trying to look for a safe place to leave them. A lovely spot but more information would have been great to cover any concerns.

A quick middy at the very nice Bundarra Commercial Hotel before the 20mins to the campsite along a very good unsealed road crossing numerous cattle grids. The property is in a big, wide cattle grazing valley with a dam the size of a small lake - from our site about 1/3 of the way up the hillside we were able to take in these beautiful views. Slight slope, but easily levelled with blocks. Walked up to the top for even better views. Enormous fire pit and we settled in to watch the sunset over the hills. Very peaceful and private. Visited by the grazing cows in the morning to the amusement of our pups.

Merridale farm was very nice. Camped on the edge of the dam. Great walk up the top of the hill, with an awesome view over the valley. Nice hosts too!

Nice grassy sites, dam good to swim and kayak in. Dog friendly. Flush toilet. Great views. Kids had fun catching yabbies in the creek. Sun ☀️ and 🌒 rise over the ridge spectacular.

Lots of fun by the fire
Great place to stay. Lots of wood to burn and great camp fires for cooking and keeping warm. The dam was great for the kids to paddle around in with their kayaks and claim the “Island”.
