Merriwa RSL Club Free Camp (FC)

The Merriwa RSL Club Free Camp is the perfect combination for an overnight stay, a great position close to the RSL Club, and, you can stay for free. The ideal spot to take a break from a long trip and take in the town sights and surrounds and enjoy some relaxed country town hospitality. The locals and the friendly staff of the Merriwa RSL will make you feel so welcome you will be sure to want to stay longer.

Camping is free and as unpowered is best suited to those who are self sufficient or fully self contained. There are toilets and free hot showers available for you to use, but these are only available during the clubs operating hours. The amenities are conveniently positioned in the BBQ area at the rear of the Club. There is also free WiFi available. The tent camping, caravan and motorhome sites are on two large vacant blocks at the rear of the RSL. Sites are level and mostly grass with some shade available. With no cost or time limit to your stay, supporting the club with a meal or two would be greatly appreciated.

Relax in the outback beer garden, or wander inside and have something to eat at the bistro (open 7 days for lunch and dinner). The food is amazing and the drinks are ice cold. They have a full bar, TAB, Keno and gaming facilities for your enjoyment. Happy Hour is every Thursday and Friday from 6pm-7pm

The club is perfectly situated right in the middle of town just off the main street and centrally located to all the local shops including an IGA, Chemist, Service Station, Hardware Store and a Mechanics if you need any essentials or repairs.
