    Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.
    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.

    Meralda Station offers a well-maintained campsite with clean amenities and plenty of space, making it a popular choice for those visiting Cobar. Guests appreciate the peace and tranquility, with many noting the stunning starry skies and beautiful sunsets. The hosts, Jen and her husband, are often mentioned for their welcoming presence and helpful communication. However, one review mentioned an issue with additional charges and a misunderstanding with other campers, which slightly dampened their experience.

    Experience not worth the value

    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.

    We loved the space and the star view shower and proximity to town. While on the road we have recommended to several fellow travelers.

    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
