This is not a place for parties and loud noise, but if you want to get away from it all and relax in a secluded Campsite surrounded by beautiful Native Bushland or explore miles of trails, gullies, caves, Flight Springs Creek and the exquisite Bow River, take some time to camp at Hillside, which is a remote 2000 acre working cattle property situated 23km west of MERRIWA, 17 km off the Golden...",

We loved having a dip in the river (essentially a cold plunge at this time of year), spotting satellites amongst the stars at night time, and exploring the caves and river tracks during the day. \n\nThe farm is set up thoughtfully, with clear signposting and maps to help navigation, while the toilets on the site were clean and are a welcome bonus. David gave out helpful tips about things to do. It was a blissful way to spend a couple of days away from screens and the internet! We’d love to come back again. "

      "reviewBody": "What a perfect getaway!! \nDavid met us on arrival and gave us an escort to our campsite, giving us a brief tour on the way.  He pointed out and suggested some walks and things to check out around our site, then left us to be and we didn’t see him or another sole the rest of the time we were there. \nWe had the most relaxing time, the river was picturesque. The caves were numerous and scattered along either side of the ridge that we camped on. The bird life was spectacular. I had an encounter with an owl in one of the caves, saw a pair of scarlet robins for the first time. There was kangaroos in the mornings and evening. Fish hit the surface of the river as I was exploring the banks. It really was a great  taste of the Aussie bush with a bit of everything for everyone. I would highly recommend a stay at David’s place to anyone that appreciates the outdoors or wants to go on an adventure. \nOur  only regret was we weren’t there for longer. \nCan’t wait to go back 😊"

Loads of 4wd tracks and walking trails. Wildlife abound and rivers and creeks nestle at the bottom spectacular rivines/gullys. Every campsite has toilets and fire pits and are extremely well maintained.\nThere are some common sense rules that will protect this spectacular place for future generations and all our sakes please follow them.\nWe can't wait to go back and explore some more."
