This property is in Northangera with the Mongarlowe River running along the boundary. It's covered in trees and provides a pristine environment amongst the "Scribbly Gums". It has flat areas with plenty of free timber for the designated fire pits. I have tried to create a haven for wildlife including Kangaroos, wombats, echidnas and platypus. I cherish the cleanliness of the river and surrounds and wish to be able to share this special environment with others who care to preserve all it offers. You can explore the property along the tracks, paddle, swim or fish in the river, enjoy the fauna, wildlife and birdlife. Located not far from Braidwood, a town steeped in history, with good shopping, coffee shops and great food. Sloping to flat land amongst the Scribbly Gum trees offering a number of sites and walks through the property. It provides both sun and shade.

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, installed watering infrastructure, and built our house, which we finally moved into 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 you're 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, rabbi,t 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 fire pit, drinking water, and a camp kitchen. The fire pit features an Argentinian BBQ and a plate for cooking. The kitchen has plates, cups, cutlery, and other bits and pieces for you to use. We also allow your pets to stay on-site; this includes horses. If you want exclusive use of the paddocks, refer to Group Bush Retreat.

A peaceful space with lots of trees and waterways as well as an abundance of wildlife such as deer, kangaroo, black cockatoos, butterflies and so many gorgeous birds. The landscape is varied, with lots of options to explore. From hiking the mountainous steep terrains, to meandering through the many ponds and waterways, or discovering the cleared trails ready for a beautiful bush walk or ride through nature. The peace at night and the stars are unlike anything I've seen, absolutely breathtaking, and only 15 minutes from all the modern amenities you may need.

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 numerous tracks with spectacular views around the property for bush walking or mountain bike riding. The tracks are surrounded by sub-alpine flora and fauna (such as wallaby's, wombats, lyrebirds) 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. There is numerous species of bird life and regular calls from lyre birds. 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.

The Campervan at Margot's was the perfect getaway for someone who doesn't have all the gear but still enjoys some time outdoors! The owners were very attentive and welcoming of me and my dog. We went hiking on the property and surrounding towns. Its proximity to Canberra and wineries also make it the perfect little getaway!

We had a wonderful time at Maddara Farm. The host, Margot, was amazing and very kind. We arrived at the farm around 6 pm, and she gave us a thorough briefing and showed us everything we needed for our stay. It was very windy, and the rain made it difficult to set up our tents. Margot was kind enough to let us sleep in the dorm for the night. The dorm and kitchen both had lights, which made it much easier for us to cook and enjoy our meals. The next morning, we enjoyed the beautiful view from the farm and were lucky enough to see a group of kangaroos. We were able to cook, relax, and truly enjoy our time there. The farm has drinking water as well as water for general use. The toilets were clean, and we were also able to enjoy a shower. The place is very quiet and peaceful. I would definitely recommend visiting this farm.

Christine's place is everything she described. Quiet and peaceful with an abundance of wild life and some lovely views. The kookaburras and cows were a highlight and the very clean long drop toilet was a bonus. Sites are very very generous, clearly signposted and well maintained. We will definatly be back.

Overall it was a great camp-site. Plenty of area to choose where to pitch your tent. Cows and horse were in close proximity, but not intrusive to the camp-site. Plenty of kookaburras around to see and hear as well as the occasional kangaroo. Dogs loved playing in the nearby creek and there were large open areas for the dogs to roam and explore, with plenty of firewood laying around for you to collect. Particularly liked the fire pit set up with the rocks/stones containing the fire pit. I was a bit worried about how the toilet will be, but I was pleased to see that the toilet was clean and well maintained. Camp-site was also well maintained. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating, and were very responsive to messages, bringing delicious fresh eggs promptly when we had requested them. Kookaburra was easy to find and get to from Sydney and as per other reviews, it was very quiet and serene. As with most camp-sites and remote areas, the reception was not the best, but devices could still be used (if required). We all had a great time and would definitely consider returning to this camp-site. Considering the reasonable cost of booking, I would recommend this camp-site!

Weekend Trip to Scribbly Gum secluded bush camping

We had such a lovely quiet time. It was the perfect spot to try out camping for the first time as a family. The dog did zoomies around the camp site, the kids went “adventuring” in loops around the sites, and we relaxed and stoked the fire. Brilliant.

A quiet, peaceful spot in a large paddock near a creek. Easy and quick access off the A1 with our 9m caravan. The kids enjoyed having the cows and a horse to watch, and it was nice being able to buy free-range eggs from the host. A relaxed place to stop and unwind.

Really fantastic night up at Tin Can ridge. Anna and her family are lovely hosts. There was nobody else staying this weekend so I got to pick where I wanted to set up camp. I had booked 1400 but decided to set up a little bit further down the hill in a lovely little spot. The weather may have been a bit crazy but it was a wonderful night. Nice little getaway. Super keen to come back again and explore more.

Fab spot! Beautiful property with lots of trees and space, and some cows and horses roaming around too! We camped at the Cackle. Lots of different spots to pitch a tent, other camps within eyesight but still felt secluded, accessible with our 2WD, and easy to find following Christine's helpful instructions. And as in the name, lots of Kookaburras around and fun listening to them laugh! Great value!

We loved camping at the Bushman’s Clock at Kookaburra. The creek is gorgeous, and farm animals are friendly (not much of a wildlife though - see it as a pro or con hehe). The toilet was clean. It was easy to find. Everything went very well. Loved the fire pit and the fact that you can buy firewood on the farm!
