Bush camping on 100 acres in the Tinderry Range at about 1400 metres altitude. Seclusion and adventure all within an hour of Canberra and twenty minutes from Michelago and the Monaro highway. Big skies and dark nights for star-gazing are likely; or perhaps you'll be nestled in cloud; or hidden by falling snow. There are numerous tracks with spectacular views around the property for bush walking or mountain bike riding. The tracks are surrounded by sub-alpine flora and fauna (such as wallaby's, wombats, lyrebirds) and nearby in the Tinderry Nature Reserve. Tinderry Range is a rugged range east of the Monaro highway accessed mostly through Michelago or an hour and a half from Braidwood (when dirt roads are reasonable). The range is only around 70km away from the coast, thus enabling a sea mist to often roll over us in the late afternoon. Summer temperatures are a pleasant 6 degrees or so cooler than nearby Canberra. You may choose between a number of options for camping depending on your camping desires and set up. There are numerous tracks around our property or nearby Tinderry Nature Reserve. You may go exploring to find the springs or choose to stick to easy walking tracks that follow the contours. We will provide a map. Tracks are also great for mountain bike riding and exploring the unusual mix of sub-alpine, montane and coastal flora and fauna. There is numerous species of bird life and regular calls from lyre birds. This area has fascinating history with the largest eucalyptus distillery in Australia until the late 1950's and very popular with a number of bushrangers such as the Clarke Brothers who had numerous hideouts. No amenities. BYO camping toilet and leave no trace. Campfires (except on fire ban days or when we advise otherwise) are okay--usually recommended. Normally dry firewood is easy to find, or purchase some from us if you prefer. The exception is the bell tent glamping option,' Tin Can Ridge Glamping' which has a toilet included as well as firewood and shortly its own wood stove! Some campsites are best accessed by 4WD, or on foot. or gain access to the glamping tent with us escorting you. Camp lightly. No hunting. Do nothing illegal. Take all waste with you. Respect the land, the wildlife and people. Keep the peace. Enjoy.

Nowhere (4WD or park & walk)
Very tranquil and private spot in the middle of a beautiful forest. The host were very welcoming and guided us to the site and provided a map for us to explore the property. We had a small 4wd and was able to drive to the site without any problem. The site is grassy and sheltered with trees around. Not much flat ground but we managed to position out car in a spot that’s level. Overall a very nice stay and highly recommend for those looking for a quiet getaway.

Staying at Tim Can Ridge in the glamping tent, has been one of the best experiences we’ve had by far!

Perfect For A Weekend Get Away

This campsite is a peaceful escape with stunning views and a connection to nature. Perched perfectly to look over the hills, it offers breathtaking scenery that changes beautifully with the light of day. Sitting by the campfire, you can hear the wind gently rustling through the trees, creating a sense of calm you just can’t find in the city. It’s a place where time slows down, and you can simply soak in the beauty of the world around you. Great hosts too :-)

I set up my camp and watched the clouds drift gracefully above the distant fields—a truly sensational moment. This camping area is well-maintained with a flat, hardened surface, offering plenty of space for my setup. Surrounded by trees, it provides excellent shelter from the wind and feels completely private, as if it’s just you and nature. One added perk is the reliable phone reception, handy if you need to stay connected for anything from your daily routine. The road leading to this site is an enjoyable drive, adding to the adventure. Plus, Anna, the host, is incredibly friendly and always ready to answer any questions you may have. I’ll definitely be back very soon!

"Civilisation" Campsite
Absolutely amazing spot. The road getting up there is a country mountain road - so a bit thin, windy, steep and sometimes has a sheer drop on one side but it’s perfectly accessible for 2 wheel drive and so so so worth it for this incredible property. One of my fav places I have stayed - you truely do wake up in the clouds with haunting kookaburra calls coming through the fog and trees. It might be clos wit the main house but it feels so private and was no issue at all for us - Anna and her husband were so lovely and made us feel completely welcome and at home ❤️ 10/10
