Cottesloe

6 sites · RVs, Tents1000 acres · Steeple Flat, NSW
1000 acres of bushland, private campsite only 3km from the Snowy Mountains Highway. Good mobile coverage. Lots of wildlife. Campfires permitted. Potable water available. No toilet or amenities. 4WD is best but not absolutely necessary, a small low clearance car won't be suitable. Pets allowed but be aware it is a running cattle farm and it's expected that you know your pets whereabouts at all times. At 1200 metres elevation it is often colder than the surrounding areas and sometimes very foggy. A second site is available near our house at the "hayshed". Let's say you're travelling between Bega and Cooma or Bombala, it's getting late and you need a spot to spend the night which is safe and you can plug into power. Next morning buy some fresh eggs, have breakfast, check your vehicle over, top up a bit of water and back to the main highway in a few minutes.

Haven | Historic alpine farmstay

2 sites · RVs, Tents6 acres · Nimmitabel, NSW
Haven is a sanctuary for wildlife rescue and rehabilitation. As a fully licensed wildlife carer with over 5 years' experience I often have a range of animals in care (as I write this I have two ringtail possums with me). I love sharing this part of my life with people, its so special to hear the stories of these critters and be able to connect with them. There are also a few permanent animals in residence, these include brumby Tiana, retired racehorse Shirley as well as house cat and dog Mishka and Loui. The church in the property was originally built in 1904 as a Methodist church from hand cut local timber but was deconsecrated in 2004. The church is now privately owned (by me) but still remains part of the town's heritage trail.​ The campsite consists of just one site and basic camp toilet facilities (there are also fully serviced public toilets around five minutes walk away at the lake). The site sits at the top of the valley overlooking the horse paddock with a historical railway line running through it and views over the main range of the snowy mountains. It occasionally also snows here and in warmer months the fields are full of flowers. If you're lucky you may even get to see one of the birds of prey that often circle above the valley. Guests may also have the opportunity to observe the feeding of any wildlife in care as well as help to feed the horses during their stay. Nimmitabel is a picturesque historical village located on the Monaro high plains on the top of the great dividing range. At 1070m elevation it's one of the highest altitude towns in the country. The town is less than 5 minutes walk away and has several cafes / dining options (including our famous bakery), a couple of antique stores, a petrol station, country club, and a few other speciality stores like the CWA store (which stocks a range of locally produced goods). Nimmitabel is approximately one hour from the coast, one hour from the snow and 1.5 hours from Canberra, making it a great base for all kinds of adventures! I look forward to welcoming you.

Sapphire Coast Dairy-Homestead

376 hectare operating dairy farm next to Biamanga National Park with access via secret 4WD track to the mountain and 22km to Brogo Dam for bass fishing. 16.5 kms to shopping centre of Bega. & 34 km to Tathra beach. The property has eucalyptus forest, rainforest gullies, fresh mountain water and abundant wildlife include bellbirds and lyrebirds. The campsite is at the original 1908 selection block by the late John Pearce (one of the first settlers in the area) and has extensive views. in dry weather you can get here in 2WD towing a small camper trailer. There is a steep hairpin bend so I do not recommend caravans with 2WD vehicles (4WD vehicle and caravan could handle this). If you have queries regarding access check photos in gallery or please ask me. Flushing toilet on site. Dogs permitted. Good telephone and internet reception. Ideal for flying your new drone.
