This property is in Northangera with the Mongarlowe River running along the boundary. It's covered in trees and provides a pristine environment amongst the "Scribbly Gums". It has flat areas with plenty of free timber for the designated fire pits. I have tried to create a haven for wildlife including Kangaroos, wombats, echidnas and platypus. I cherish the cleanliness of the river and surrounds and wish to be able to share this special environment with others who care to preserve all it offers. You can explore the property along the tracks, paddle, swim or fish in the river, enjoy the fauna, wildlife and birdlife. Located not far from Braidwood, a town steeped in history, with good shopping, coffee shops and great food. Sloping to flat land amongst the Scribbly Gum trees offering a number of sites and walks through the property. It provides both sun and shade. Access is good for vans of any size along a track through the bushland. Lovely swimming spots in the Mongalowe River, beautiful clear water, and several lovely bushwalks around the property. There is only Telstra reception available in this area. We offer 7 different sites and the maximum stay is 7 nights.

Not camped by the river as expected
The host was completely lovely and friendly and prepared our camp with wood for our fire. We thought the camp Would be by the river, as per the photographs - however it was a 300M walk, which is a lot when we had to keep collecting water. At the end of the trip, I asked where we could put our trash, and the suggestion was to find council bins. This was really rough, as we had a lot of trash as a group of 8, and lots of recycling to get rid of. I would only want to camp here right by the river, as it is a beautiful location, however the waste disposal is a massive issue and a dealbreaker for us as the local transfer station is only open half the week. Also, the campsites are a bit closer to each other than we would like, although the people were friendly. For the cost, the facilities were not matched and would expect to pay less.

River Shack
The Shack at Scribbly Gum was absolutely incredible. Everything was beautifully set-up, we were so close to the fresh river and Phil was a great host. The site was very private, had ample space for us to set up a tent and our dogs had a great time. We would love to return for another visit!

Beautiful spot, divine river for paddling, dog loved it, far from the madding crowd but actually not too far from Braidwood for top ups. Will be back. Thanks Phil and Jane.
