Great camp
Tent
My son and I did an overnight camp at Whynot. I would totally recommend this spot to anyone wanting to have a nice quite night away. The stars were fantastic and is was so peaceful. Lots of firewood around the site and lots of open space if you had a camper trailer. We will definitely come back

I loved tent camping at Ranay’s land. Beautiful spot with a river for gold panning just 7 mins down the road. The spot was pretty secluded so it really felt like your own little getaway. Plenty of firewood you’ve just gotta find it. The address was a little inaccurate (just had to go a bit further down the road I believe) but I’ll definitely be coming back.

A lovely place to stay - isolated and spacious. There’s so much room a bigger group could still have enough privacy apart from each other.
Lots of native wildlife came to visit.
Only thing is at night you can still hear the road quite well, and some aircraft. Apart from that every once in a while, it’s completely quiet and peaceful.
A great place to stay.

Just what this earth girl needed to be surrounded by nature and enjoy the peace and quiet. Surrounded by kookaburras whilst reading my book. No devices for 2 days was bliss. Ranay left clear instructions on getting there and was the perfect host. Highly recommend this place.

Yet again as always this place goes above and beyond!!! Been here with groups and individually, and this place is a dream!! The fact it is single camp so you have the whole place to yourself truly makes it the one of a kind dream camp-site!!

Great place to get away. Large area to choose a spot and no one else was around. There was a little bit of noise from the road, but not enough to keep me away.

Perfectly private and peaceful spot
Tent
Ranay was a great host. Communication was amazing and it was so amazing to have the whole property to yourself. We saw some kangaroos and a goanna. Plenty of firewood to sit gazing at the fire and the spectacular stars in the sky.

Proper bush camp!
Tent
Ranay was very accommodating and helpful during our stay. She made sure we knew where to go and gave us some suggestions of the best spots on her property. This land is huge and there are many areas you an pick from to set up camp. Pretty much anywhere that is flat once you pass through the second gate that has an arrow saying "HIPCAMP" you can set up camp. We saw some kangaroos while we walked around and explored her property. Too bad I wasn't able to get a photo... We ended up being the only people here and it was very quiet and private. I would recommend Whynot to anyone in the area looking for a proper bush camp. There is so much to explore on this property.

Fantastic bush block to let the kids run wild.
My son had a fantastic time riding his bike around and only a short drive down the road to the Shoalhaven River for a swim.
We will definitely be coming back again.

Must try camp
Tent · Group trip
If you want a camping spot that is secluded, this is it.
It's like having your own little spot of land and there is so much to explore.
In other hipcamp spots, you end up directly in someone's back yard but here was totally different, complete freedom.

Private bush block, close to road
Tent · With kids
We spent one night at Whynot2.
Pros:
Natural bushland block, with mowed vehicle trails, plenty of nice spots to set up camp, and abundant firewood. Total privacy is guaranteed.
Cons:
We weren't aware this site is next to a busy road linking Canberra/Goulburn and Jervis Bay. Regrettably traffic noise was a major issue on the Anzac long weekend. The block isn't big enough to get away from it, at most you would be about 200-300 metres away. On the night we stayed the neighbours also had a party which meant loud music and singing long into the night. As a result of these factors, we had to cut our stay short and find peace and quiet elsewhere. We recognise these issues are totally out of the host's control, but we wish we'd known more about the location before booking.
In summary, a lovely bush spot for an overnight stay if you're just passing through. Host was super friendly with great communication.

A beautiful secluded campsite. The property has lots of different pockets where you can stay, each with their own special feel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will absolutely be back again.
We had a 13 month old with us and he loved it also.
The host was also really lovely and super easy to deal with! 😊
