Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.
Pitch your tent on what used to be an air strip for local farmers and enjoy access to 100 acres of rolling hills, forest and a creek all to yourself. The property is a 10-minute drive to Taralga where you can pick up fresh delights from the bakery Grand Ettie, unwind at one of two amazing pubs, including the hatted Argyle Inn or Taralga Hotel, and browse boutiques. Need to entertain the family? Head to Wombeyan Caves (now open) or Taralga Wildlife Park. A little about us (Hannah and Craig): we are a young couple who live in Canberra and recently purchased the property. We plan to build on the property but want campers to enjoy the beautiful nature and wildlife in the meantime. Please note there are few sheds and caravans on the property that are not for use by Hipcampers.Pitch your tent on what used to be an air strip for local farmers and enjoy access to 100 acres of rolling hills, forest and a creek all to yourself.

Still had a good time....
I had a great time during my stay, saw plenty of roo's and birds. I thoroughly enjoyed the privacy and the stars were amazing. It pains me to say it as the time I spent was enjoyable but I felt quite mislead with the promise of lots of exploration on the property and photos of creeks/water to be found. Upon arriving to the property I drove around for about an hour and a half looking for the creek area, all I came upon was very overgrown tracks that I couldn't drive any further down or fence lines. When looking at other reviews there is obviously a creek somewhere but I spent at least 3 hours on foot and in the car looking for it, driving down every track I could see to no avail. I drive a lifted 4wd with mud tyres for reference. A bit of signage would've saved alot of scratched paint, time and fuel. This leaves the only areas to camp 100-200 meters away from the road with a view of tins sheds and caravans which I felt was a bit of a let down. Wombeyan caves are spectacular and the wildlife sanctuary at Taralga is also a great visit. the country out there is stunning. Overall I enjoyed my stay and this review is based off my honest experience I had at the old airstrip.

The site has nice flat grass area to setup camp with simple amenities. The surrounding bush is fun to explore with kids and proximity to Wombeyan and other attractions is great.

Recommend this site. We enjoyed our time there and we will be back. Adventurous place offering walks, 4WD, a relaxing time next to the camp fire.

We had a great time at The Old Air Strip. A beautiful property with plenty of space. The forest feels untouched and offers a great little bush walk. The stars were spectacular and to have the entire property to ourselves was perfect.

What an awesome property and even more inviting hosts. Hannah was very prompt responding to any and all queries our group had leading up to the stay which is always helpful when travelling the distance to properties like this. Can’t change the unfortunate weather we had however this only means we’ll need to return to enjoy it while the suns out. Highly recommend this property to any an all travellers!
