The best mountainous camping near Wee Jasper guide

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.
