Our place is 187 acres of natural Snowy Mountains. There are two dams, natural ground springs and plenty of species of gumtrees. It is home to native animals big and small and many natural features and views. Close by you can enjoy the Eucumbene dam 10 minutes to the North with great Trout fishing and Jindabyne 25 minutes to the South. Kosciousko National Park is located to the West with several access points. Sitting at an elevation of 1270m above sea level it gets blanketed in snow in winter and beautiful sun in summer.This camp is 100% Snowy Mountain bliss. Back to basics will let you get in your natural element. There is no power or showers but there is a beautiful fresh water dam with a jetty to jump off. The only noises you here will be from nature! Sitting at an elevation of 1270m above sea level you have a high chance of snow in the winter and in summer it is a great base for any hiking, fishing or exploring you want to do throughout Kosciousko National Park or the Snowy Monaro. We are totally pet friendly but would like your animals to respect the native wildlife. Camp fires are allowed between April and October. Guests will have access to a flush toilet throughout their stay and bush shack which has been made from the timber on the property. There is phone service at the property with both Telstra and Optus. Just down the road is the historical Rocky Plain School (1883) that you can borrow books from at the community library.

We loved camping here the amenities were very clean and had lots of space to set up without feeling too close to other campers. Dam wasn’t swimable but that must’ve just come down to the time of year

Lovely open space. Really great with my dog, still had phone reception, felt private but not totally isolated. Would come back!

Great clearing for camping, the toilet and under cover area is a big plus. Sadly the weather wasn’t great for fishing so I’ll have to come back to get them trout haha

The property is Midway between lake Jindabyne and lake Eucumbene. The toilet wasn't easy to find (particularly when arriving at night time). Also the advert stated you could wash in the dam, which was quite horrible, dirty, slimy and no way you could swim in this water. The big negative is that it was $50.00 per night (+ admin fee to Hipcamp). This was very expensive for no facilities and in the middle of nowhere.

We loved this campsite, it was quiet, heaps or room to spread out, and some lovely tracks to walk around the property

Fantastic spot to camp. Really conveniently located between Eucumbene dam and lake Jindabyne and close to KNP. Days were spent paddling, fishing or hiking and coming back and enjoying the peace and quiet and amazing stars. Will be back!
