Important booking information

  • Meralda Station is a farm located in the outback. Please expect dust, amazing sunsets, flies, fabulous hospitality, burrs, quirky animals, unreliable weather forecasts, tranquility and ambience.

  • Open for accommodation bookings seasonally only, April through to October.

  • Like all of our offerings, our bathrooms are also rustic, functional and clean. 

    We offer two (2) loos, and 1 open air moon shower for you to embrace connecting with the outdoors and enjoying the amazing clear open sky.

  • Our shared camp kitchen includes a BBQ, sink and seating area.

  • Visitors can fill their tanks with town water at the dump point in town, opposite the museum.

    Please note that we don't provide water with our stays.

    Cobar unlike other outback towns in western New South Wales, does not have a river and receives its water supply through a channel 385km away.

    This allocated water supply isn't available to most farms. So farms have to rely on rain for personal use and for their stock/animals. It seriously is LIQUID GOLD.

    • Camping pricing is for 2 adults and all children under 3 stay free.

    • Retro caravan pricing is inclusive for up to 2 people, but we can cater for up to 4 guests.

    • Camping pricing is for up to 2 guests, extras can be added at extra cost, and includes 1 car only in your stay

    Any other additional guests to be added as extra guests in the extras/add on section on our booking page.

  • Please familiarise yourself with our cancellation policy and other terms of service by reading our terms and conditions prior to booking.

    No refunds for cancellations booked in August due to peak demand for the Mundi Mundi bash.

Frequently asked questions

Welcome!  We have dropped in a few FAQ's to help with your stay. 

  • For us its about leaving the environment as close to nature and as untouched as possible. Therefore, please consider that our campground is still a working farm, and we strive to maintain its natural beauty.. We are by no means a caravan park with all the bells and whistles.

  • From the edge of town we are about 1.8km; from the CBD we are just under 3km. We are lucky to have a walking/bike track that runs into town on the boundary of our property, and you can also catch a courtesy bus into the Golf Club. We are blessed to be so close to town, yet when you’re here you will feel a million miles away.

  • No we do not accept pets. This is a strict rule that will result in you being asked to leave if not followed.

  • Visitors can fill their tanks with town water at the dump point in town, opposite the museum.


    Please note that we don't provide water with our stays. Why? Well Cobar, unlike other outback towns in western New South Wales, does not have a river and receives its water supply through a channel 385km away. This allocated water supply isn't available to most farms. So farms have to rely on rain for personal use and for their stock/animals. It seriously is LIQUID GOLD.

  • One of the biggest questions asked. Our eco-sites are located at the main campground and feature an open area to select your site, with access to camp kitchen and facilities for all guests to enjoy. Our secluded sites offer a exclusive guests-only stay in a more private wooded area for those seeking a secluded stay.


    No matter which option you choose, you'll find level ground and the freedom to explore the breathtaking beauty of the outback. With no power, our offering is nature, pure and simple.

  • At Meralda you'll experience the true essence of the outback. Yes it’s a dry and dusty neck of the woods, with limited access to water and burrs aplenty. If you're looking for green grass and fancy inclusions, we're not the place for you. However, if you're seeking an authentic outback experience, complete with the magic of campfires, stunning sunsets, and the starry night sky, we invite you to join us.

  • Is it even camping without sitting by a fire and watching the sunset?
    One awesome fact that sets us apart is the ability to have your own fire, or if we are cooking at the main fire you’re welcome to swing by. All can only happen in fire season of course. Wood is available to be purchased on farm, or BYO.

  • Simply means our offering is nature. No power... Just you, your set up, and the landscape.

  • Owner, Jenn offers resin art classes, as well as meditation sessions, and wellbeing services for those looking to experience something extra during their stay.

You haven’t experienced the Australian outback… until you’ve stayed here.
