Bush camping on 100 acres in the Tinderry Range at about 1400 metres altitude. Seclusion and adventure all within an hour of Canberra and twenty minutes from Michelago and the Monaro highway. Big skies and dark nights for star-gazing are likely; or perhaps you'll be nestled in cloud; or hidden by falling snow. There are some beautiful bushwalks surrounded by sub-alpine flora and fauna on the property and nearby in the Tinderry Nature Reserve. Tinderry Range is a rugged range east of the Monaro highway accessed mostly through Michelago or an hour and a half from Braidwood (when dirt roads are reasonable). The range is only around 70km away from the coast, thus enabling a sea mist to often roll over us in the late afternoon. Summer temperatures are a pleasant 6 degrees or so cooler than nearby Canberra. You may choose between a number of options for camping depending on your camping desires and set up. There are numerous tracks around our property or nearby Tinderry Nature Reserve. You may go exploring to find the springs or choose to stick to easy walking tracks that follow the contours. We will provide a map. Tracks are also great for mountain bike riding and exploring the unusual mix of sub-alpine, montane and coastal flora and fauna. This area has fascinating history with the largest eucalyptus distillery in Australia until the late 1950's and very popular with a number of bushrangers such as the Clarke Brothers who had numerous hideouts. No amenities. BYO camping toilet and leave no trace. Campfires (except on fire ban days or when we advise otherwise) are okay--usually recommended. Normally dry firewood is easy to find, or purchase some from us if you prefer. The exception is the bell tent glamping option,' Tin Can Ridge Glamping' which has a toilet included as well as firewood and shortly its own wood stove! Some campsites are best accessed by 4WD, or on foot. or gain access to the glamping tent with us escorting you. Camp lightly. No hunting. Do nothing illegal. Take all waste with you. Respect the land, the wildlife and people. Keep the peace. Enjoy.

"Civilisation" Campsite

Home Away From Home In The Hills

Nestled high in the mountains, this campsite is a perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat. Waking up above the clouds is nothing short of magical, especially when accompanied by the distinctive laughter of kookaburras echoing through the trees. The mornings here are serene, with the cool mountain air gently waking you as the sun rises. By late afternoon, the campsite is in a golden glow, creating the perfect environment to relax with a good book. The open spaces allow for uninterrupted playtime with your dog, whether it's a lively fetch the stick or just wandering through the bush. There’s nothing quite like sitting by the campfire, with the warmth of the flames at your feet and the dog snoozing beside you. The important things. Mobile reception is patchy, (Starlink is fine, no suprises there), tap water is available at the bottom of the hill and firewood is in abundance (take a saw) and its fun to walk up the hill. The property is easy to find (turn left at the RFS shed if coming from Canberra). Anna is the perfect host. Only an hour from the Canberra CBD, this is a great example of one of the best Hipcamps in Australia if you like the bush.

Splendid isolation

We loved the feeling of being off the beaten track and surrounded by nature. The site has great views with the lights of Cooma in the far distance. Made up a batch of Gluhwein which went down well sitting by the campfire. We had a nice loop walk around the property in the morning and saw lots of kangaroos. Anna was super helpful with everything.
