Tin Can Ridge

We absolutely loved staying here, the views are exceptional, great walks around the place and the bell tent is so cosy and comfy - just perfect! So great for a peaceful getaway. Definitely recommend and would love to return.

Relaxfull weekend in the moutains

We loved the teepee tent and very comfy bed. The property is beautiful and feels like a national park. The hosts were very friendly.

Secluded heaven

We loved staying at Anna’s place, she was great with communications and the directions were clear to arriving, then her and her family showed us wonderful hospitality from the get go, we asked for more fire wood for night two and it was delivered in no time. The tent itself is beautiful inside with lots of little bits and pieces and details that have been well thought out (etc extra lights and batteries and playing cards). The bed is super comfy and there are extra blankets if needed. We experienced high winds on the second night but the glamp tent kept us cosy and warm with no issues. The fire pit area was a great communal space again with so many bits and pieces that were helpful. These included utensils, cleaning items, spray oil, some cutlery and crockery and loads of water. The toilet again showed signs of being well thought out, a simple portable toilet set up away from the tent but accompanied by a bucket with cleaning wipes, toilet paper and hand sanitisers. The views were fantastic and the spot is secluded, we saw or heard no one else our whole stay and that’s exactly what we wanted. You could go exploring or collapse in the hammock with a book. We can’t recommend it here enough and will be back for sure. Thanks guys!

Anna and Andrew were so welcoming, we absolutely loved our stay at 1400. Can’t wait to come back and try a different site. My AWD vehicle accessed the site no problems, although conditions were dry! Highly recommend this site.

Great getaway!

Tent ·

Quick camping getaway to Tin Can Ridge (Hipcamp) 🌄 , 1 hour south of Canberra 🏙️ in the Tinderry Range ... What an amazing place! The hosts were incredible! greeting me on arrival with a map and showing me through the property on the best route suitable for my vehicle. They helped me find the best locations for my setup and were very generous with the firewood 🪵 I purchased from them for just $20 and delivered it to my site...(See picture) I stayed in the valley at the back of the property in total seclusion aptly named "nowhere". Plenty of wildlife out and about including native birds, kangaroos , wallabies and deer. 🦘🐦🦌 Being only my second hipcamp I cannot recommend this location and the host family enough! I was using this as a test run for my new setup so I didn't get a chance for too much photography but the clear skies and beautiful weather ☀️ made for an amazing time away from the hustle and bustle. I will be back to try another of their campsites "1400" If you stay at Tin Can Ridge I highly recommend purchasing the firewood too , it makes the first night so much easier! I can't wait to get back out there! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars out of 5

Tin Can Ridge 1400 a great way to start off with HIPCAMP. Even though it was overcast, the horizon sky cleared for a beautiful sunset. Looking forward to coming back to enjoy the stars. Anna and Andrew are the perfect hosts. Did use the 4WD to get to the site. Great views from up on the hill to Snowy Mountains. Worth buying the firewood and enjoyed the campfire to keep away the winter chills. Perfect location for a quick Canberra getaway without too much of a drive to enjoy the outdoors.

Real bush experience

Tent ·

Such a great property to get away from the world. It feels like you're out in the middle of nowhere but still only an hour or so from Canberra. Even the drive out is brilliant! There is a range of different options from clamping to totally bush camping so something for everyone. Anna was super friendly as were the rest of her clan. Great spot, thoroughly recommend it ✌🏻

This is the second time we’ve come to anna’s property and we absolutely love it. Her and her family are absolutely amazing, we ran out of wood the last time and they didn’t hesitate to bring more up for us! They left us extra wood as they knew it would be cold. The place itself is absolutely amazing, the most beautiful views and extremely peaceful. would 100% recommend

We loved the glamping experience at Tin Can Ridge. It snowed while we were here, so it was lovely to wake up to the beautiful winter wonderland and to explore the nearby trails. One thing we were unprepared for on the cold weather was the camping toilet - the flushing liquid froze due to the frosty temps. It's a simple set up but otherwise a great place to visit.

Peaceful

If you are looking for peace and quiet then this is the place! The views on top of the hill were lovely and watching the stars at night was amazing, the sky was so clear. Lots of walks to do around the place as well. The tent is nice and cosy, the bed is extremely comfortable, with extra blankets if needed. Nice firepit - with plenty of firewood, which was replenished for our second night. Webber bbq to use as well. Lots of little thoughtful things around(tin foil, UNO) which made a nice touch. Anna and Andrew are lovely and welcoming. Would recommend if you are looking for a relaxing weekend away.

Relaxing Stay on the Tinders

Tent ·

Lovely spot in the Tinders.. Anna and Andrew the hosts were fantastic. We stayed at the 1400 site but on arrival used a different sport around the corner. Flat ground as a little hard to find for a ground tent being a mountainous region but had an amazing fire pit and there were no other campers close by which is ideal. Anna and Andrew and even took us up to a scenic rocky viewing spot on a neighboring property. All in all, a very relaxing Easter long weekend. As a bonus there were lots of wallabies, lyrebirds and we also spotted some deer.

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! Anna is really accomodating and ensures that you feel welcome and makes sure that you have the best experience whilst staying ! The area is clean, well looked after and they have beautiful land! We will be back again!

Perfect For A Weekend Get Away

5 m pop-up camper · With pets ·

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 :-)

Serene Camping Bliss

Tent ·

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!

Amazing natural wilderness

4 m Class B ·

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

Home Away From Home In The Hills

6 m pop-up camper ·

Nestled high in the mountains, this campsite is a perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat. Waking up above the clouds is nothing short of magical, especially when accompanied by the distinctive laughter of kookaburras echoing through the trees. The mornings here are serene, with the cool mountain air gently waking you as the sun rises. By late afternoon, the campsite is in a golden glow, creating the perfect environment to relax with a good book. The open spaces allow for uninterrupted playtime with your dog, whether it's a lively fetch the stick or just wandering through the bush. There’s nothing quite like sitting by the campfire, with the warmth of the flames at your feet and the dog snoozing beside you. The important things. Mobile reception is patchy, (Starlink is fine, no suprises there), tap water is available at the bottom of the hill and firewood is in abundance (take a saw) and its fun to walk up the hill. The property is easy to find (turn left at the RFS shed if coming from Canberra). Anna is the perfect host. Only an hour from the Canberra CBD, this is a great example of one of the best Hipcamps in Australia if you like the bush.

Splendid isolation

We loved the feeling of being off the beaten track and surrounded by nature. The site has great views with the lights of Cooma in the far distance. Made up a batch of Gluhwein which went down well sitting by the campfire. We had a nice loop walk around the property in the morning and saw lots of kangaroos. Anna was super helpful with everything.
