27km from Namadgi National Park · 12 sites · Tents, RVs · Michelago, NSW
**Please let me know if you are bringing a caravan, I can only accomodate caravans at certain sites with the weather** Our property is just 25 minutes from Canberra City but feels a world away, and offers a peaceful country paradise and wide open spaces. We have several sites for 100% self-contained campers, where you'll be spoilt with spectacular views of the Tinderry Mountains, access to undulating walking trails, and the Namadgi National Park nearby. On clear nights, the stars here are spellbinding. We have many animals here too! View our placid Scottish Galloway cattle (currently with calves!) pat our friendly poddy Cody and grab a photo opportunity. We also have a beautiful horse Ali and her yearling colt diesel, just watch your fingers with him, gelded now but still thinks he’s a stallion. 5 fat Dorper sheep look like running rugs running around. A real country experience! An Angora goat and slashed tracks to access the beautiful 130 acres around the farm. The small village of Michelago is 5km from our property, has the fuel servo and a terrific General Store, which serves great burgers and milkshakes plus much more. 20mins to the town of Bredbo with its own pub is great for counter lunches and dinners. The Town of Cooma, the gateway to the Snowy mountains is a 40 min drive south. Also if you want to go camping with friends and introduce them to the great outdoors and they don’t have the gear ask about our hire service of all things needed to have a great camp, some are listed but more is always available to hire, just send me a message. As one of our many happy Hipcamp guests have said the photos don’t do the views justice, they are truely spectacular:) Thats all folks, our paradise is your paradise to enjoy.

38km from Namadgi National Park · 5 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Queanbeyan, NSW
Bush camping on 100 acres in the Tinderry Range at about 1400 metres altitude. Seclusion and adventure all within an hour of Canberra and twenty minutes from Michelago and the Monaro highway. Big skies and dark nights for star-gazing are likely; or perhaps you'll be nestled in cloud; or hidden by falling snow. There are numerous tracks with spectacular views around the property for bush walking or mountain bike riding. The tracks are surrounded by sub-alpine flora and fauna (such as wallaby's, wombats, lyrebirds) and nearby in the Tinderry Nature Reserve. Tinderry Range is a rugged range east of the Monaro highway accessed mostly through Michelago or an hour and a half from Braidwood (when dirt roads are reasonable). The range is only around 70km away from the coast, thus enabling a sea mist to often roll over us in the late afternoon. Summer temperatures are a pleasant 6 degrees or so cooler than nearby Canberra. You may choose between a number of options for camping depending on your camping desires and set up. There are numerous tracks around our property or nearby Tinderry Nature Reserve. You may go exploring to find the springs or choose to stick to easy walking tracks that follow the contours. We will provide a map. Tracks are also great for mountain bike riding and exploring the unusual mix of sub-alpine, montane and coastal flora and fauna. There is numerous species of bird life and regular calls from lyre birds. This area has fascinating history with the largest eucalyptus distillery in Australia until the late 1950's and very popular with a number of bushrangers such as the Clarke Brothers who had numerous hideouts. No amenities. BYO camping toilet and leave no trace. Campfires (except on fire ban days or when we advise otherwise) are okay--usually recommended. Normally dry firewood is easy to find, or purchase some from us if you prefer. The exception is the bell tent glamping option,' Tin Can Ridge Glamping' which has a toilet included as well as firewood and shortly its own wood stove! Some campsites are best accessed by 4WD, or on foot. or gain access to the glamping tent with us escorting you. Camp lightly. No hunting. Do nothing illegal. Take all waste with you. Respect the land, the wildlife and people. Keep the peace. Enjoy.

The Murrumbidgee River is just about 4 klms away, where you can enjoy a picnic along it's banks and take a dip if it's warm enough. We prefer campers who are fully self contained.

Millwood is located 6kms from COOMA n.s.w. in the Snowy Mountains Region and is within easy reach to a number of great locations. It is about 90 minutes from Canberra, just over an hour from Thredbo and Perisher and Mt Selwyn snowfields and 1.5 hours from all the beautiful beaches that the South Coast has to offer. A short drive of under 7 minutes takes you to the Murrumbidgee River on a sealed council road. There is a flat grassed picnic area and council gas run b-bques under cover. You may find internet and mobile not fully covered here. I have a mobile that I use which works well depending where I stand. Now has 3 adjacent camp sites available. If not booked by others its a quiet spot amongst a bush setting. also offers an RV site. You can relax around your firepit and enjoy watching the beautiful wildlife that come to visit the property including Kangaroos, Wombats and a variety of native birds. The host runs a Day Spa from her home so you may like to treat yourself to some self care. Please check with host as to availability of Spa Treatments. Why not check out our outdoor clawfoot bath during your stay. It's an amazing experience under the stars! Tank water is available but please use sparingly. The surrounding region is hugely popular for cyclists and bushwalkers with many great tracks available to explore. Mt Gladstone now has a popular track and Iread there are plans for a big upgrade. There is a lookout at the top and can recommend Miss Heides Austrian Restaurent. Amazing authentic home cooked bavarian meals in a rustic log cabin with a fireplace. The Murrumbidgee River is just about 4 klms away, where you can enjoy a picnic along it's banks and take a dip if it's warm enough. We prefer campers who are fully self contained. Campers must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. There is an outside basic toilet that is a compost type with sawdust and is cleaned regularly. No pets please as we have a wildlife corridor here. * I am considering quiet well behaved pets for campers but not in the bush hut. Will verify soon*.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Yifu greeted me and showed me to a nice flat spot to camp for the night. I loved waking up to the Alpacas, geese, goats, magpies and sounds of the roosters. It’s an incredibly peaceful place. Toilet and shower block works well. Was great to have a warm shower! Yifu gave me an egg in the morning and it was still warm, freshly laid! I would love to return and spend a few days here.

Fantastic location, very friendly and easy going host and He even gave us some eggs on arrival. Getting there is very easy, just off the highway, then the road turns into a dirt road. Very quiet at night, toilets and showers are easily accessed and very clean. There’s clamping tents available but we stayed in our swag. You stay in a paddock of geese and alpacas. 20 mins drive into Canberra.

We had an incredible stay at this farm campsite! The hosts were super kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The kids loved seeing and interacting with so many animals – there were chickens, ducks, alpacas, Angora rabbits, horses, goats, and quails! They also had a blast collecting eggs, playing on the trampoline, and swinging on the simple swings. The little lake was beautiful, and we even spotted pelicans there. Such a peaceful, fun, and memorable spot for families or anyone who loves nature. Highly recommend!

Very nice, open, private campsite. Sheltered area available to hang out down by the creek. Easy to get to following the directions provided. It was very windy on day two, so Martina allowed us to move to the larger campsite, which is more sheltered. It is a great site, with plenty of room for multiple campers. The shelter/kitchen area is fantastic, and it has a beautiful view down over the property. Martina is a great host, who went the extra mile for us to make our stay great. Would definitely stay there again, and highly recommend this property for your next camping adventure.

A beautiful spot in the Snowy Highlands. Despite a long stakeout I didn’t see any wombats. I guess I will have to come back. The portaloo is an excellent facility. Thankyou. It was nice that Luke popped down to say g’day. Lovely chap. I agree with the other positive reviews.

We enjoyed the picturesque surroundings very much. The ground was level and the campfire was wonderful. The sunny paddock was excellent for charging the batteries, but there was shade from some trees too. We were enthusiastically welcomed and shown where to camp. The alpacas and geese were friendly and wandered around the camp. We were even given a dozen fresh eggs! Highly recommend. We will be back!

Gorgeous view, perfect for an overnighter with my kids. Sunset was beautiful. Had water at the site, even though we’d brought our own, and Sarah was great. Very welcoming and even took us around the farm in their 4x4. Kids loved it, slept like a log and would highly recommended for an overnight stay.

I stayed at site 5. Even though the sites are quite close, I was there by myself so it was no issue. Shared the paddock with sheep, kangaroos, lizards, rabbits and water birds. Lovely outlook over the little dam, and was able to see the bunnies and Roos hopping around. This is the second site I have stayed at where I didn’t meet the owners first up or at all. I have to admit that I prefer meeting the owners when I arrive, as a woman travelling alone it just feels better to meet the owners and know that I’m safe. This is just a personal preference, I’m sure others may not be bothered by it, but I appreciate the meet and greet. Other than that the stay was fine, location was great for an easy drive into Canberra, and communication with Janice was good also.

The best camping in Namadgi National Park, ACT guide

Overview

About

Parks and reserves make up more than half of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), and Namadgi is the largest of them. Nearby Canberra, defies most preconceptions of what a capital city looks like, and its proximity to the mountains and bush of the Namadgi National Park is another pleasant surprise for campers wanting to escape the city. Three campsites can be found within the park, while many others dot the area just outside. All three can be accessed by vehicle, and walkers in the park are allowed to wild camp in many areas. It’s easy to see why Namadgi is a favourite getaway for Canberrans.

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for groups: Honeysuckle Campground has space for small and large groups.
  • Best for vehicles: Orroral Campground is suitable for caravans and trailers.
  • Best for families: Cotter Campground, just outside the park, is well-equipped.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. All campsites within the park require a reservation, and fees apply. Some campgrounds have maximum stay limits that make them inappropriate for long stays.
  2. Bookings can be made online, via the ACT Park and Conservation Service website. You can book online for tent camping and for up to four caravans or camper trailers.
  3. Larger groups may need a permit to camp in Namadgi and should apply to the ACT Government online. This should be done at least 28 days in advance of your intended stay. Very large groups need a lead time of 6 months or more.

When to go

The ACT experiences very hot, dry summers and cold winters, with frost and even snow not uncommon in the mountains. Summer brings a high risk of bushfires, which can start and spread very quickly. Most campers will find the conditions most comfortable for camping and hiking in spring and autumn, when daytime temperatures will be warm but not too hot.

Know before you go

  • Although wild backpack camping is allowed in most parts of the park, the exception is in the lower and middle portions of the Cotter Catchment area of the park’s northwest.
  • Wild camping is allowed in the upper Cotter Catchment area, but you’ll need a permit.
  • Generators aren’t allowed at the campgrounds and firewood is not supplied. Firewood can be bought from the Namadgi Visitor Centre.
  • Dogs aren’t permitted at the campground within the national park boundaries, but there are dog-friendly campgrounds in a few places right next to the park.
  • The Honeysuckle and Orroral campgrounds contain composting or pit toilets that are wheelchair accessible.
  • There are some huts within the park, but these are for emergency use only and campers shouldn’t plan to spend the night in them.
