Maddara.Organic.Farm.and.Art
9 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents120 acres · Yass River, NSW
Once a much larger property, we purchased our 120-acre (50-hectare) in 1984 as a means to live sustainably and raise a family.
Living in our shed whilst we prepared the garden, put in watering infrastructure and built our house which we finally moved in when our daughter was 6 months old in 1990.
Over the ensuing years we have continued to increase biodiversity on the property and set it up so we can live sustainably, harvesting our own water, electricity and food.
If your lucky you could get a hamper of our product when there is sufficient in season.
With the increased biodiversity you will find that in the mornings and evenings kangaroos and wallabies will visit with the occasional echidna, rabbit and hare; and to forget the large array of bird life - that may wake you early in the morning with the songs.
This campsite is set on lovely grassy open areas interspersed with gum trees. The sunrise looks spectacular near the dam, when the trees give off a lovely glow.
The main paddock has a Geodome, a shared space for relaxing in. With all that space you can park and set up camp anywhere in the paddock.
There is access to drinking water, toilets, and a hot shower.
Around the dome is a firepit, drinking water and a camp kitchen. The firepit features an Argentinian BBQ and a plate for cooking. The kitchen has plates, cups, cutlery, and other bits and pieces for you to use.
If you want exclusive use of the paddocks - refer to Group Bush Retreat.

Travellers Village Rest
2 sites · Tents2 acres · Bowning, NSW
Stay on our 2 acre block on the edge of a small village in the southern tablelands of NSW. We are conveniently close to the Hume Highway, with a level grassed site with scattered gum trees providing shade. Travellers between Melbourne and Sydney can easily pull in off the highway for a quick set up for the night, then be back on the road the next morning. Alternatively, our site is an excellent base to stay for a few days while you explore Canberra and surrounds, as it is an hour to the Nation’s capital.
Sure, we can hear the highway and occasional trains as they go past on the main line but there are also plenty of bird calls and some neighbouring wallabies. There is a small creek on the boundary of the camping block that attracts birds but is not suitable for swimming. We have town water available for campers and toilet facilities are a short 400m walk to the middle of the village. The nearest dump point is 15 minutes away in the town of Yass. Winters are excellent for small fires for cooking and then putting another log on to enjoy the rest of the evening under the stars. We have dedicated fire pits or you can use your own.
As an added bonus, there are metal sculptures dotted around the block created by the host.
Each site is spacious enough for up to 4 vans if you are travelling in a group. It is easy to navigate through the trees and use it as a drive through.

Camping near Wee Jasper guide
Overview
Hemmed in by bush-clad peaks and alpine rivers, the small village of Wee Jasper is the gateway to five camping reserves. Get back to nature as you camp along the Goodradigbee River in the Billy Grace Reserve, or enjoy kayaking and fishing in the Swinging Bridge Reserve. Hikers might prefer the Fitzpatrick Trackhead Reserve, along the popular Hume and Hovell walking track, or Micalong Creek Reserve, which has direct access to bushwalks and a natural swimming hole. Further north, Carey’s Reserve has the region’s star attraction, Carey’s Cave, as well as scenic picnic spots around Lake Burrinjuck.
Where to go
Brindabella Ranges
South of Wee Jasper Valley, the Brindabella Ranges roll over the border of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. The mountainous terrain of the Brindabella National Park provides plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventures. Explore off-road on a network of 4WD trails, hike or mountain bike along mountain ridges, or camp out in the heart of the bush.
Australian Capital Territory
Beyond Brindabella National Park, the Australian Capital Territory has both historical monuments and verdant parklands. Dive into Australia’s history and heritage at Canberra’s many museums, enjoy boat cruises or kayaking around Lake Burley Griffin, or explore miles of bushwalking and cycling trails right on the city’s doorstep. For overnight stays, there are plenty of camping areas in and around the capital too.
Canberra Wine Country
Rolling green hills lie to the east of Wee Jasper, where the cool-climate vineyards produce some of Australia’s finest Shiraz, Riesling, and Chardonnay wines. Murrumbateman, Gundaroo, and Yass are the main stops on a wine-tasting itinerary. Visit boutique wineries and cellar doors, sample local foods from artisan producers, then pitch your tent amid the vines.
When to go
The best time for camping trips, bushwalking, and outdoor activities is from September through May, when it’s warm enough for swimming and trout fishing in the rivers. It’s busiest in summer (December through February), so book campsites and activities in advance. Mild temperatures mean that camping is possible year-round, and the reserves stay open through winter.
Know before you go
- You will need your own transport to reach the Wee Jasper Reserves; there is no public transport. Campsites are all located along sealed roads, but other attractions in the region may require a 4WD.
- Camping in the Wee Jasper Reserves must be booked in advance.
- Campsites in the Wee Jasper Reserves have restrooms, showers, picnic tables, and barbecues, but there are no powered sites, and cell phone and 4G reception is also limited. The Billy Grace Reserve is the main center for campers with potable water, an RV dump point, a rubbish compound, and a small shop selling essentials.
- There is no gas station in Wee Jasper—the closest is in Yass, about a 1-hour drive away. This is also the place to stock up on camping supplies and groceries.
