My husband and I had a great time camping at Miklos's with our dog. Here are some pros and cons:
Pros
- Quiet and relaxing. No reception, campfires and lots of reading time. Feels remote with the unsealed road on the way in but also only 30min from Bungendore.
- Firewood provided
- Great fresh eggs
- Good clean bathroom (toilet/sink only)
- Very close to a large state forest where there are nice walks and lookouts
- Mik is a lovely guy!
- Black cockatoos in the morning
Cons
- Creek is overgrown and dammed at the crossing and so swimming sadly not possible
- Property smaller than we expected. The campsite is still a fair way from the house but don't be expecting an expansive property that you can go for a walk around.
- It hadn't rained in a while so tank water at the camp area was out but Mik kindly brought us over a 20L bottle. I'd probably bring some drinking water next time in case.
Overall a great time, thanks for having us!

This is our second stay at Peppermint Gum campground. We loved having such a large area all to ourselves, on such a beautiful property. The set-up makes for very easy camping with kids and groups; the shelter and picnic table, the established campfire and composting toilet. We enjoyed going for walks through the bush and to the creek; looking for wombat burrows, seeing blue-tongue lizards, spotting lots of birds and hearing lots of frogs!

Lovely spot. It was a bit different for us not being able to camp "at the camp". We usually all huddle together in a circle with fire and kitchen in the middle, but here the fire and camp kitchen are blocked off and we were all spread out and everyone had to walk back and forth from our campers to the fire / kitchen. It would be ideal if we could camp right near the camp kitchen. It was peaceful and we got snow! The abundance of fire wood was excellent too. Lovely spot.

Fabulous spot! Private, shady, and a camp shelter that was ideal for our group, and plenty of space for the games we brought. We orded one of the offered extras (gas bottle) only a few days before and it was set up ready to go when we arrived. Thanks Martina!
