This camp was beautiful. Surrounded by trees and under the stars, this is a really perfect spot if you want to get away for a couple nights and get into nature. The camp site is perfect with fire pit, table, toilet, even spare camp chairs, tea and kettle and bbq. If you’re looking to try camping out this is the spot to go. You can turn up and have most everything you need in the bush. If you’re an experienced camper looking for a night or two away, it’s a great little spot not too far from Goulburn (about 10 mins). The drive in itself was even beautiful I spotted a kangaroo, a wombat, possum and a deer!
Mya couldn’t be more friendly, welcoming and helpful, I was sent home with a beautiful pumpkin from her garden :)
The tent itself is great, comfy and clean. I did forget my sleeping bag though, if you visit in winter, extra blankets won’t go astray as it gets chilly. The stay was made even more sweet by Jedi their pup patrolling the perimeter and coming in to say hello throughout the evening. I would absolutely recommend staying here, perfect spot for a little getaway and getting back to nature. I travelled on my own from Sydney and finding Myas spot was a total blessing. I will be returning :) thank you again xx

Host was super friendly and welcoming. Flushing toilet was a 'red redding'. Porta-loo on property was not fit for humans ;-( (One we had access too anyway).
Location was good and easy enough to find. Besides the loo issue all good.

Our camping experience on Mya’s property was amazing. Mya and her family made us feel very welcome. Combined with the remote natural bush land just over an hour from Canberra provided a great weekend getaway. Sitting under the picturesque stars with the warmth of campfire was superb. The property is easy to find too. The limited phone reception allows you to disconnect from the world and reconnect with nature. We will endeavour to return.

Lovely spot but we won't visit again. The host was not at home on the day we and other campers arrived and didn't provide any instructions, the noise of dirt bikes all Easter weekend was annoying and one portable toilet (that was already half full when we arrived) is definitely not sufficient for approx. 25 campers.

No one around on arrival. No direction of where to camp. If everyone knew before they arrived that would be fine. But everyone was asking each other what to do. Loved the area but a little more knowledge prior to arrival would have been good. Steve

For-rest Glamping
We were really excited about the Glamping at first. Mya and her partner welcomed us and as they said like everything is well setup and arranged and that excited us even more. But sadly, as we went there, nothing was as expected which made us feel really unhappy. The tent and the beds inside had very smell and needed some wash. The portable water tank was all empty, the thrash bins were full from before I think, the fire pit had water filled and the chairs as well. The toilet was not cleaned and it was very uneasy to use to with our little one especially. The BBQ equipment looked like never even opened with rust and greased totally which was not in a usable condition to eat from it. Luckily we had our own. In the booking it was mentioned that lights available. But it was nothing as seen in the pictures. We asked them about it then only they brought, where all of these made us very disappointed. Especially for that kind of site and facilities the amount we paid didn’t make us feel any worth. Even the cabins and with all the facilities didn’t cost that much. Well! They looked like very friendly people and they even offered us some veggies, which was really kind of them.
Thank you

Gorgeous site. Mya and her partner were very sweet and accommodating, they moved me to the glamping tent upon arrival.
I was driving a 2WD sedan, so getting to the property felt a little intimidating as the last 15 minutes is on a gravel road. But once you arrive, the site is beautifully off-grid, peaceful, and really relaxing.

For-rest Glamping
We had an amazing glamping experience! The host and service were excellent—very welcoming and thoughtful. The place is peaceful and perfectly located in the middle of nature, which made it truly relaxing. The host generously provided lots of free firewood and fresh eggs, which was a lovely touch. The tent was spacious and comfortable and my dog enjoyed the stay even more than we did! We were also given free BBQ equipment and gas, which made our evenings even better. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a calm getaway close to nature. Just make sure to bring enough drinking water.

Overall, our stay was nice, though there were a couple of things worth mentioning.
There wasn’t any potable water available in either of the two tanks on site, which caught us a little off guard as we’d only packed enough for drinking. It would have been really helpful to know ahead of time that the tanks didn’t contain drinkable water, especially since the listing mentions it.
We also chose this spot because it seemed like a peaceful, off-grid escape with no phone reception - something we were really looking forward to. Unfortunately, both mornings we were woken around 6–7 a.m. by the neighbouring family riding their quad and motorbikes, which went on for most of the day. It just made it a bit hard to enjoy the quiet we were hoping for.

Very well located camping facility next to Goulburn. The designated area has some open grass for campfires and general activities, trees to explore and collect firewood from, and a small pond. Our 2-night stay gave us the chance to switch off from the city and immerse in the sounds of frogs and birds at night, while daytime was spent spotting the odd wallaby (and a feral deer) amongst the woods. It was also very nice for the hosts to put our 2 tents close to each other, since we came as 2 families and this allowed us to do all activities together instead of being on opposite ends of the property. Omar and Mya are very hospitable hosts and have excellent knowledge of their property to make a stay here a real treat!

Overall, we had a nice time. The host was super friendly and helpful. The ad said there was a toilet available, but there wasn't one on the site. There were also dirt bikes making noise till 8pm, and started again the next morning at 730, essentially non-stop the whole time we were there.

The property owners are awesome the site was nice. The only down side and this is not the owners fault. Next door were many motorbike riders from 530am in the morning all day until about 6pm. It was not a quite weekend unfortunately. If we could of been on the other side of the property away from all the noise it would of been awesome.

We had a lovely stay – such a peaceful and beautiful location! The tent was cosy and very comfortable for two adults. It was a bit of a squeeze with kids, but we made it work and they absolutely loved collecting wood and exploring the area.
The space was clean, and the beds were great – warm and inviting after a day outside. There’s a grill over the firepit and plenty of wood around to collect, which made for great family fun.
Do note that there’s no cooking equipment or seating, so we recommend bringing your own table, chairs, and kitchen/eating gear. Also, if you’re staying in cooler weather, bring a few extra blankets.
A lovely glamping experience overall. Thanks for having us!

This is a beautiful site that feels very remote and peaceful, the owners have a bell tent set up in a small cozy area of the bush land with mattresses inside. Additionally they provided us with a diesel petrol mix to help start up a fire and made sure we were comfortable before leaving us to enjoy the serenity of the nature. The area is abundant with wildlife, we actually woke up to a herd of goats walking thru our campsite which was an amazing morning surprise. I feel I need to also mention, this place is called stary ponds for a reason, the stars are nothing short of amazing. As someone who loves stargazing and photographing the night sky I absolutely loved the experience here.
Would 100% recommend✌️

Thank you Mya and Omar for the lovely stay! We thankfully had a clear night on the first night and saw some amazing stars. Getting surrounded by the goats was also really fun, I love goats! The sculpture near one of the camp sites that I could add too made it feel extra special.

The hosts were super accommodating, and helped my partner and I find the perfect space to camp. The name is for good reason as you have a spectacular view of the stars. The host gave us a bowl of home grown vegetables and brought us a nice hot meal on the second night! Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

An Unforgettable Stay at Stary Pond

Our experience at Stary Ponds Camping Sites was nothing short of amazing. The location itself is peaceful, well-maintained, and perfect for a relaxing getaway — but what truly made our stay exceptional was the owner. Truly the best of the best — incredibly kind, generous, and genuinely cares about the guests' experience.
We were even offered a caravan for free, which was such a thoughtful gesture and made our trip extra comfortable. On our final day, the owner invited us to enjoy a glass of fresh organic carrot juice, and let me tell you — it was the best carrot juice we've ever had! It was the perfect way to end a wonderful stay.
Highly recommend Stary Ponds for anyone looking for a cozy, welcoming, and memorable camping experience. We'll definitely be back!

Mya's land was incredible. We booked very last minute and the host was incredibly accommodating. He set up the swings for our daughter and the fire for when we arrived!
There was plenty of room for activities amongst the peace and quiet of the property. The tent was perfect for our family of three.
Cannot recommend this experience highly enough!

My family loved camping in the For-Rest glamping site. We got to have a nice big fire, star gaze and teach the kids about all of the constellations. We even got to see some shooting stars or satellites.
The hosts were very helpful and even provided us with some treats from their farm.
Would love to stay again
