Billy and Kylie are very friendly and welcoming! They greeted us at the gate when we arrived and made sure we were comfortable. Their farm is beautiful! It offers breathtaking views of Lake George and the surrounding mountains. They are a working sheep and lavender farm and have some of the friendliest sheep we have ever met. They would all come running to you when you walked up to the paddock fence and had very funny personalities. The area was very private and was an amazing space to kick back and relax. I would recommend Forest Elbow to anyone in and around the Bungendore and Canberra area.

Absolutely loved our stay here! Super easy to find off the Highway, such a spacious, flat and grassy designated camping area that our dogs loved to play in. The host was there to greet us and give us a run down of the property, that interestingly runs as a lavender farm! We adored all of the animals especially their names! The views were absolutely spectacular everywhere direction you looked. We can’t wait to be back! Note: Bungendore is a super cute town, with farmers markets on Saturdays and nice selection of little shops to check out, the public park ammenities were very updated, clean and well looked after.

Sunset over Lake George

This was a beautiful place to camp. We were there to visit the Tulip Top Gardens only 15 minutes away and Bungendore is also worth exploring. We loved our time here. A great fire pit and the walk up the hill is definitely worth it for the amazing view, especially at sunset.

Great campsite next to highway! Lots of beautiful sheep and alpacas! Spacious site with fire pit sheltered by trees from the wind. Friendly host and incredible stars.
