Meroo National Park is a national park in on South Coast of New South Wales, Australia.[1] It is located near Batemans Bay and Ulladulla and noted for its beaches and forests.[1]
Meroo has only recently been designated as a National Park.[when?] Previously it was a state forest which contained an unregulated camp ground with beaches and bushland. The area was badly damaged over ten years ago by bushfires.[when?] Because of this damage and its constant use by holiday goers, the National Park lands authority created a National Park on this State Forest land in an attempt to help regenerate the bushland.[2][citation needed]
