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. Access is good for vans of any size along a track through the bushland. Lovely swimming spots in the Mongalowe River, beautiful clear water, and several lovely bushwalks around the property. There is only Telstra reception available in this area. We offer 7 different sites and the maximum stay is 7 nights.

Weekend Trip to Big Island Bend on the Clyde River

Just had a great weekend camping and relaxing at Mark’s place. Soft, grassy, flat, cleared campsite overlooking the river with tall gum trees. Solar shower and flushing toilet a total luxury as well as the huge campgrounds only being able to be booked for one tent - privacy! A few lazy boats going by, a great little swimming/kayaking beach and some short walks made for a very nice bit of time out. The road in and out was perfectly fine, might be a bit slippery on the hills when very wet and I wouldn’t bring a caravan. Thanks Mark for making it available and all the effort that clearly goes in to maintaining such a large space.

Weekend Trip to Scribbly Gum secluded bush camping

What a wonderful, restorative escape! Such a top spot by the river. Amazing swimming hole for hot days. Saw platypuses, a wombat and water dragons. Simple, rustic, perfect shack. So well positioned; had everything we needed. Good walking nearby. Looking forward to going back already. Phil was a great host.

Wow!! What an incredible campground, worth every penny. So much privacy, nice and flat, the flushing toilet was a hit and also the entertainment area is gorgeous too. Kayaking on the river was alot of fun and sitting under the shelter in the river was so relaxing on a hot day. Tryg is an awesome host, thank you for sharing your beautiful property for us.

Weekend Trip to Scribbly Gum secluded bush camping

Had a great time. Saw heaps of wildlife including huge kangaroo crossing the road 10m in front of us when bushwalking with our puppy, platypus fossicking at the riverbank, and snakes too. Lots of cool birds too. Really enjoyed our evenings by the fire pit and floats down the river to the causeway which we would bushwalk back from.

The photos don’t do the place justice. Tryg has done a lot of work in the space since the photos were taken. We were a large group of families and the kids and adults had an amazing time fishing, kayaking, watching sunrise, and swimming. The toilets (x3 plumbed in) and cooking worked well for the group. The place was really quiet. The only objection I heard was lack of showers - but it certainly wasn’t from the kids! I can’t wait to go back. Thank you!

Picture yourself in a warm outdoor bath with a glass of your favourite drink in one hand and a book in the other surrounded by the gentle rustling of leaves and the soothing sounds of birdsong.

We loved the River Shack at Phils! The water had the perfect little swimming and fishing holeright in front of the shack. The resident platypus visited every day which was SO cool. Spent our evenings by the fire outside. The outdoor sink and cooking set up meant we barely had to use our own kit which was super convenient. Thanks Phil I think we'll be back!

4 nights at Scribbly Gum secluded bush camping

The shack is in such a beautiful spot, it felt very private (except for the bird life!). The river is absolutely beautiful to swim in and we were lucky enough to see the platypus swimming about. The shack has a double burner gas cooker and a little camping single burner that can be used outside as well. It was a great place to stay even with a bit of rain, with a cosy fire that kept us warm inside. There’s a bit of wildlife about, no reception and no toilets apart from a bucket in an outhouse so as long as that’s not a problem for you, you will have a wonderful escape from the outside world!!!

La Estancia Hideaway was the perfect place for a 3 night break away. It's spacious, surrounded by trees, quiet and very, very comfortable. A fresh and clean bathroom, huge amenities shed and even an open air bath. Our host, Magali, was welcoming and communicative. Highly recommended and we'll be back.
