We are a 5 min drive to the historic township of Bungendore where you can find plenty of shopping and cafes. It's just a 25 min drive to Queanbeyan and a 30 min drive to Canberra CBD. We are about 1.5 hours from Batemans Bay and the NSW south coast. The night sky here is mesmerising. The milky way core is visible from January through to November and is an astrophotographer's dream. Bring a camera!Our property is set up on a hill overlooking the valley towards Lake George. The campsites have flat grassy areas with rows of pine trees around two sides of the camping area.  This campsite suits self-contained campers who bring their own camping toilet/shower, and drinking water supply. Your dog is welcome (on leash). It's a a short walk uphill where you can see and photograph the amazing sunsets over lake George and Smiths Gap. In the mornings you can see the fog blanketing the lower parts of the valley as the sun rises. The night sky here is mesmerising.

We booked for the long weekend, the area itself was smaller than expected given the photos but fine for what we needed. It is however extremely close to a main road and so there was traffic (including large trucks) noise all day and all night, makes it hard to enjoy the serenity of camping. Would be a lovely spot to camp if you can look past the noise.

Great place to pull up camp for the night, beside the highway so no lengthy detours on your trip! I’m a solo female who felt super safe here with great phone reception and cleared land. You can hear the odd traffic but didn’t bother me at all. Would stay again if travelling through

Camping with family and our dog!

We loved camping in our tent at Forest Elbow. It was a private, spacious, flat and dry site with a fire pit and just 5 mins drive to Bungendore with its lovely shops and cafes. Kylie kindly showed us all her animals, our son loved feeding the Alpacas! even though there was plenty of room we our dog on a lead as she could have gotten through some of the fences onto a busy road.

Site itself was great, with beautiful views back towards the farm, sheep and cows grazing. We enjoyed looking at the stars with our children. The site is close to a major road and as we were camping in a tent with our children the noise from the road kept them awake during the night.

Was a lovely area to spend the night. The hosts were welcoming and we enjoyed a lovely evening with our family under the stars around a warm camp fire. Would stay again! Thank you

Great Flat site Easy to access

This is a lovely flat site with a fantastic stone fire pit. It has easy access and the views from the top of the hill are spectacular (well worth the walk) Super close to Bungendore, we had a delicious breakfast and great coffee at Cafe Woodworks. It is worth noting that this site backs directly onto the Kings Highway, and whilst you can’t see the highway due to mature trees there is a fair amount of traffic noise.
