Primitive camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

Situated adjacent to Kosciuszko National Park on the Goobarragandra River, it is a farming property with sheep and native kangaroos, platypus and wombats. The river is renowned for trout fishing and is popular with canoeists and tube tyre swimmers also enjoying the water. The town of Tumut is about 20 kms away and is full of wonderful cafes, craft brewers and equipment hire firms for your leisure needs. Also within close travel are the towns of Tumbarumba, Adelong and Batlow. All guests staying on site will need to be fully self contained with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. Leave no trace.Camping is near the grove of elm trees where you can experience a quiet getaway and the opportunity to relax by the river, fish for brown or rainbow trout or kayak down the Goobarragandra River. Great for trout fishing! It is important that all anglers check they have a current and valid NSW Recreational Fishing Licence. It’s also a good idea that anglers take the opportunity to remind themselves about the fishing rules, to ensure the trout fishery remains viable into the future. A summary of fishing rules and regulations is available via the FishSmart App or by accessing the NSW Recreational Freshwater Fishing Guide available at NSW DPI offices, fishing fee agents or online. The famous Hume and Hovell walking track crosses through front of the property and traces the route taken by the famous explorers. The farm has sheep and alpacas and adjoins the Kosciuszko National Park which is home to wombats, platypus and kangaroos. The starry night skies are magnificent, so sit and enjoy the sound of the flowing river whilst dreaming of the elusive fish you may catch tomorrow. Campfires are welcome in the fire pit provided, permitting there are no restrictions in place at the time of your stay. BYO camp toilet and leave no trace please. We recognise the Wiradjuri, Ngunnawal and Walgala people as the traditional custodians of this land.

Angler's Paradise

River camp on hiking track

Good place, very scenic. Camping amongst sheep, alpacas and wombats. Very nice river. It’s on the Hume and Hovell hiking track so plenty of people going by but nobody disturbed us.

Angler's Paradise

Such a wonderful location! Right by the river with a beautiful swimming hole close by. Talkative sheep and 2 shy alpacas made good company. My stay was in peak season and so quite a few people walking to and from along the Hume and Hovell walk which runs through the property along the river. It would be quieter out of peak holiday season. Having it the spot to myself though wad very nice. I would come back again. Hosts were lovely and checked in to make all was ok. Neighbours also really lovely and gave me tips on swimming spot and platypus spotting time!
