Perched on a low forested ridge above Sandhills Creek, this sweet private campsite is available to only one group at a time, choose your tent site within the Snowgums forest or in the open grassy area on the edge of the tree line (suited to roof-top tents). Guests will enjoy views west across the paddocks to distant pine trees, the Great Dividing Range (both on the property) and east through the forest down to Sandhills Creek below. This campsite is in a NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust protection zone for endangered Snowgums Grassy Woodlands, so guests will need to be self contained, take waste with them and leave no trace.

A swimming dam, jetty, and picnic sites are accessible from the campground via marked walking and driving tracks.

'Wombat Corner' Small Private Camp

100%
(1)
Tent site · Sleeps 4
Wombat Corner is a small level grassy clearing backed by dense forest, and open to the east with views across the paddock to Sandhills Creek. The campsite is large enough for 2-3 tents and 1 vehicle, but no room for a second vehicle or to manoeuvre a trailer. The site enjoys good morning sun and is very sheltered from prevailing winds and hot afternoon sun. A simple fire pit sits in the centre of the clearing for cooking and campfires, and follow a short track through the trees to a basic portable camp toilet (see photo). Stroll across the paddock and past the old pear tree to a creek access gate. Explore 2km along the creek, down to the pond with a swimming jetty.

'Snowgums' Private Creek Campsite
We had a great stay at this private bush camp. Having the entire site to yourself, with the snowgun right there, makes it a really unique experience and it is very reasonably priced. The drive in through the working farm was honestly part of the adventure. I had never driven through a working farm to get to a campsite before, and it made the journey to the site just as fun as being there. Regarding the track, although 2WD vehicles can make it through, I would highly recommend a 4WD or anything larger than a Toyota Corolla hatchback. Martina was super accommodating and helpful throughout. There was plenty of firewood, total isolation, and we even managed to get a few bars of reception. It is a fantastic spot for a big group who love being spaced out, as there is plenty of room to move. The toilet is a bit of a laugh and definitely part of the outdoor experience, so it is something to consider before booking if you are not used to being off-grid. At least you get to be one with nature! Hot tip: definitely bring your own toilet paper. Overall, a great place to stay for those who enjoy privacy and a proper bush adventure. We would happily stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful campsite! The tent spot is flat, quiet, and very private, with a lovely view across to the riverbed. Great wildlife, including wombats and roos. The host's directions for the drive in are clear and accurate, and it's accessible in a 2WD provided you have enough clearance. We would definitely go back.

This place is amazing, nobody else around, easy access along a dirt road. Plenty of wild life to be seen. Stay in your camp or do a day trip to a number of great local spots. Perfect for larger groups if needed. The hosts were amazing, we had some bad weather and got moved to a more all weather location. Didn't go for a swim in the dam but if the weather had of been warmer definitely would have.

'Snowgums' Private Creek Campsite
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.

'Peppermint Gum' Private Campground
This is our second stay at Peppermint Gum campground. We loved having such a large area all to ourselves, on such a beautiful property. The set-up makes for very easy camping with kids and groups; the shelter and picnic table, the established campfire and composting toilet. We enjoyed going for walks through the bush and to the creek; looking for wombat burrows, seeing blue-tongue lizards, spotting lots of birds and hearing lots of frogs!

Lovely spot. It was a bit different for us not being able to camp "at the camp". We usually all huddle together in a circle with fire and kitchen in the middle, but here the fire and camp kitchen are blocked off and we were all spread out and everyone had to walk back and forth from our campers to the fire / kitchen. It would be ideal if we could camp right near the camp kitchen. It was peaceful and we got snow! The abundance of fire wood was excellent too. Lovely spot.

The Snow Gums campsite is surrounded by amazing scenery. The host, Marty, provided plenty of firewood to help keep warm during the cool evenings. It was great to chat to her and hear of the efforts to regenerate the land to its natural state. There was plenty of wildlife to be seen, with kangaroos, wallabies and deer to name a few. The weather was not the best during my stay, so it would be great to visit this site again on a sunny weekend.

Really nice quiet and secluded spot amongst the tress with a couple of options for setup locations. Site are maintained really well, with plenty of clear walking tracks to explore, with an abundance of wildlife about. Directions were super simple to follow, and clearly signposted. Wouldn't hesitate to come back!

Very peaceful spot not far from Canberra with a lovely outlook over grasslands, snow gums and a creek. Martina kindly offered a 20L can of water at the site, and the simple pit toilet had a private yet impressive view over the bushland. There are some roughly marked bush trails around the property which make for fun exploring.

The site is great! Secluded, beautiful, and easy to find. Marty has some very useful instructions on how to find the place, which made it even easier. A wonderful night's stay, and very grateful for the additional hospitality when we realised that one of our group had their rooftop tent on incorrectly - Marty's son came and dropped some tools off to us to fix it. A great stay!!
