Hidden gem

17 ft travel trailer · With kids

Absolutely perfect spot. Awesome dam, the kids swam and played on the paddle board all day long. A couple of other campers across the dam and down at sheds but still felt like no one else was around. Hosts were friendly, down to earth people. We can’t wait to come back.

Meridale Acres is a beautiful property! Perfect for our little family camping trip. We stayed on the dam and our children had lots of fun kayaking to the island and even caught a couple of fish. Plenty of fire wood provided and the host Sabrina was friendly and very helpful making sure we were settled for our stay. We had a wonderful time exploring the hills and scenery. Beautiful sunsets, warm days and cool nights! Couldn’t ask for anything more. Thank you Sabrina for sharing this lovely property with our family.

Peace and quiet

16 ft pop-up camper

Lovely location, absolute peace and quiet, free from technology which was great (no service). Dam was beautiful, lots of bird life and inquisitive cattle. Beautiful valley views with just a short walk up the hill. Lots of firewood available. Facilities are basic, no problems if you are self sufficient. Dogs had a great time.

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

30 ft pop-up camper

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.
