3 sites · Tents, RVs · Jindabyne, NSW
Since the early 1800s our property has been a sheep and cattle grazing farm. Our first ancestors settled in this area in 1821 and we enjoy a rich historical connection to our country.
Little has changed since those early days with native pastures and forests existing in harmony with wildlife and livestock. You will likely see emu and a vast array of other birdlife, kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, echidnas, crayfish and small fish. There are two creeks, both with 4km frontage on the property.
Native plants, flowers and trees are in abundance.
Farm infrastructure includes timber stock yards, buildings and sheds, some dating back to the 1800s.
Four distinct seasons occur at this latitude and elevation. However, weather is changeable throughout the year so always be prepared for sudden changes in conditions. Snow can fall periodically during winter but on occasions even on Christmas Day.
Campfire pits at campsites can be used except when fire bans are imposed and in unfavourably hot and or windy conditions.

Located directly off the highway, our little piece of country paradise is easy access and the perfect weekend getaway or stop on the way to the snowy mountains.
Our campground is nestled amongst 200 acres of farm land where campers are welcome to stretch their legs and witness the beautiful views of the Tinderry Mountains from the hill tops. Along the way say hi to the cows and our beautiful Clydesdale.
The Michelago General Store is only a hop skip jump away, where you can treat yourself to a barista made coffee, warm homemade meal or restock food supplies. The Petrol Station is also only 100m down the road.
Camp fires are welcome within the fire pits, but please bring your own wood. All fires must be put out at night and before you leave.
A portable camp toilet can be provided upon request.
All we ask is that you respect and enjoy our farm as much as we do.

This is a great little spot just off the highway for a wonderfully private overnight stay. Plenty of room for my dogs to run around and lovely and quiet and dark for a great nights sleep. It has a petrol station right nearby which was open on New Year’s Day luckily for us. Communication with the host was great and definitely go by the instructions that the owner gives you as GPS sent us the wrong way! Thanks so much for a great stay!

Richard has a great spot and is a great host. We overlooked a beautiful valley and no trouble fitting our 9M Caravan and 6M truck in the spot he arranged for us. He provided a fire pit and some lumber for levelling. 5/6 mins drive to Jindabyne Brewing and 30 ish mins to Thredo.

Richard’s place was simply beautiful. The view was incredible. It was the nicest thing to wake up looking over the valley. Richard himself was a wonderful host. He was more than happy to help with anything we needed. The property was really safe and fun for the kids - they loved watching the horses and playing on the swing. Being so close to Jindabyne was fantastic too, it made getting supplies quick and easy. We had great days enjoying the region. We went on the slide and chairlift at Thredbo, hiking at Mt Stilwell, horse riding at Thredbo Valley Riding and swimming in Lake Jindabyne. Highly recommend a visit!

Great spot right off the highway.
Host is amazing, good communication, friendly and inviting. We felt like family friends stopping by.
Good flat spot and was still private and quiet enough to feel like you had your own space.
Price was also really good for a family just wanting a basic and quick overnight stop.

We enjoyed a peaceful camp on the banks of a small creek. The 360 degree views were simply stunning. The ground was level, we had isolation, plenty of sunlight for solar charging and an excellent fire pit to sit around and cook a meal over.
Our host was prompt in replying, extremely welcoming and suggested walks around her beautiful property, which were well worth doing. Although one can see the distant traffic on the Monaro Highway, it is not noisy at all.
It is close to the tiny hamlet of Michelago for coffee and basic supplies.

We really enjoyed our stay at Friedl's Camp in the middle of nature and with a stunning view.
We were visiting both Thredbo and Perisher Valley and found that the camp was quite centrally based.
Both Stephen and his daughter Aimee were very helpful. Thank you 😊

We headed from Sydney to the snow and used this as a 1 night stopover, my kids can’t make it all the way in one go after /work school etc.
Great level site , didn't even need to un hook the caravan, plenty of room (our van 25ft) and just off the highway so doesn't add any travel time at all .
Will stop here again next snow trip.
Only down side is a little bit of highway road noise but really minor after dark.

The best star host camping in Snowy Mountains guide
Where to go
The Sydney Area
Cosmopolitan Sydney offers big-city charm and easy access to fantastic beaches and natural areas. While plenty of people come here to dine, shop, and take in the city lights, you won’t need to drive far from the city to find yourself out in nature. Some of the best (and easiest-to-reach) camping areas near Sydney include Lane Cove National Park and Royal National Park, both within a short drive of the Central Business District.
The Blue Mountains
Not far from Sydney, the Blue Mountains offer some of New South Wales's finest scenery, from massive rock formations such as the iconic Three Sisters to the enchanting Jenolan Caves. It's a popular destination for bushwalkers and rock climbers alike and has plenty of campgrounds, from forested spots tucked among gum trees to private wilderness campsites far away from it all.
The South Coast of New South Wales
If you want to get away from the crowds but still wish to spend time near the sea, the South Coast may just be the ticket. Head to Booderee National Park to see wildlife or make your way down to Jervis Bay for a bit of kayaking. Like to surf? Head to Kiama to check out the waves or head south to take in the scenery in nearby Gerringong.
The Hunter Valley
The Hunter Valley is best known for its wineries, and it’s got plenty of them, but even teetotalers will find plenty to do in this lovely region. Highlights include the massive Lake Macquarie, the largest saltwater lake on the coast of Australia, and Mount Royal, which is part of the World Heritage Gondwana Rainforests of Australia.
