Trilby Station Stay

12 sites · RVs, Tents320000 acres · Louth, NSW
The Murrays of Trilby Station have called the banks of the Darling River home for 7 generations now, grazing merino sheep since 1860. An authentic family run property offering guests a unique outback experience and a glimpse into their way of life not often accessible to outsiders – all with the comforts of home. We offer secluded river and billabong campsites through HipCamp and fully renovated Stockman's Cottages and the Shearer's Bunkhouse through our own website. Our campsites all feature a firepit and wood to get you started ( then you gather more in as required or bring some with you), rubbish and recycle bins and a long drop loo nearby. Bathroom/laundry and camp kitchen are a short drive away from the camps. While their accommodation is great, the experience of Trilby Station is what people really love and talk about ..the scenic river, the private waterfront campsites complete with firewood, the self-guided Mud Map drives around the station, Liz’s wholesome country style meals, the cosy cabins, catching yabbies and fish, the birdlife & wildlife and Liz!! Yep – me ... fancy that!
