Welcome to Atlantium, a unique campsite located on a 0.76 square kilometre pastoral estate in the scenic Lachlan River valley, nestled between Crookwell and Cowra. Founded in 1981 by a group of teenagers in Sydney, Atlantium has since evolved into a global civil society organisation and micronation, boasting thousands of citizens across over a hundred countries.
Atlantium is the only country you can drive to from Australia, making it a one-of-a-kind destination. Since acquiring our 200-acre pastoral estate near Reids Flat, NSW, in 2008, we've developed it as our ceremonial capital. Visitors can explore Government House (the Golden House), our post office, a pyramid, and various other monuments and buildings.
Our facilities are entirely independent of the Australian power, gas, and water grids. Government House features a gas fridge, BBQ facilities, solar-powered lighting, a solar-powered induction cooktop, microwave, toaster, music system, television, and reverse-cycle air conditioning. The bathroom includes a waterless composting toilet, and an outdoor shower is also available. Additionally, Atlantium is equipped with a super-fast Starlink satellite internet service.
Guests have full access to the 0.76 square kilometres (200 acres) of natural bushland within Atlantium's borders. Enjoy hiking, bird-watching, mountain bike riding, picnicking, or swimming in our unspoiled forests, fields, and lakes while taking in breathtaking views of the surrounding Australian countryside. Visit the only pyramid in Australia and several other commemorative monuments. Official Atlantium souvenirs such as stamps, coins, banknotes, postcards, and flags are available for purchase from the post office.
Atlantium is located in an isolated rural area at the end of a 100-metre-long rough dirt and gravel driveway, surrounded by untamed grasslands and forests teeming with wildlife, including insects, spiders, snakes, lizards, birds, and marsupials. Summer temperatures can be extremely hot, and winters can be cold enough for occasional snow. Although Government House has reverse cycle air conditioning, please consider weather conditions if you are sensitive to temperature extremes.
Electronic devices can be charged via a USB charger connected to our solar power system. Guests need to bring their own USB charger for non-Android devices.
Accommodation at Atlantium is in a modest 10 x 3m one-room cabin, offering comfortable and well-appointed facilities with new, high-standard furnishings and appliances. The cabin includes hot and cold running water, solar lights, an electric fridge/freezer, a two-hob induction cooktop, an indoor shower, and a composting toilet. Entertainment options include a television with access to streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Stan, as well as high-speed Starlink satellite internet service. Voice-over Wi-Fi calls can be made with a compatible Telstra handset when logged into our Wi-Fi network.
Bedding is regularly changed and cleaned between guest visits. If needed, guests can find a supply of clean linen in the closet and clean towels in the chest of drawers.
Please note, we do not provide a concierge service, baggage assistance, or transportation to local attractions or public transport hubs. We are not a hotel or motel, but rather a unique and self-sufficient camping experience.
Come and experience the serenity and uniqueness of Atlantium, where you can enjoy the tranquility of nature while exploring a truly extraordinary micronation.
