Bush camping on 100 acres in the Tinderry Range at about 1400 metres altitude. Seclusion and adventure all within an hour of Canberra and twenty minutes from Michelago and the Monaro highway. Big skies and dark nights for star-gazing are likely; or perhaps you'll be nestled in cloud; or hidden by falling snow. There are some beautiful bushwalks surrounded by sub-alpine flora and fauna on the property and nearby in the Tinderry Nature Reserve. Tinderry Range is a rugged range east of the Monaro highway accessed mostly through Michelago or an hour and a half from Braidwood (when dirt roads are reasonable). The range is only around 70km away from the coast, thus enabling a sea mist to often roll over us in the late afternoon. Summer temperatures are a pleasant 6 degrees or so cooler than nearby Canberra. You may choose between a number of options for camping depending on your camping desires and set up. There are numerous tracks around our property or nearby Tinderry Nature Reserve. You may go exploring to find the springs or choose to stick to easy walking tracks that follow the contours. We will provide a map. Tracks are also great for mountain bike riding and exploring the unusual mix of sub-alpine, montane and coastal flora and fauna. This area has fascinating history with the largest eucalyptus distillery in Australia until the late 1950's and very popular with a number of bushrangers such as the Clarke Brothers who had numerous hideouts. No amenities. BYO camping toilet and leave no trace. Campfires (except on fire ban days or when we advise otherwise) are okay--usually recommended. Normally dry firewood is easy to find, or purchase some from us if you prefer. The exception is the bell tent glamping option,' Tin Can Ridge Glamping' which has a toilet included as well as firewood and shortly its own wood stove! Some campsites are best accessed by 4WD, or on foot. or gain access to the glamping tent with us escorting you. Camp lightly. No hunting. Do nothing illegal. Take all waste with you. Respect the land, the wildlife and people. Keep the peace. Enjoy.

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.

Tin Can Ridge Glamping

Amazing view

The glamping option was great. We were riding down to the coast and didn’t want to carry camping gear so Tin Can Ridge was perfect. The view is amazing and we were lucky there was a full moon as well.

camping at 1400m

One of the highest places you can camp on in NSW on the private land at 1400meters. What a spot. Views overlooking the mountains are incredible. Owners friendly and welcoming and even provided some firewood that lasted a night.

Secluded, scenic, awesome campfire

Fantastic spot! Amazing views and so secluded. Anna and Andrew were fabulous hosts, helped us out of a sticky situation with a flat car battery. Had great camp fires, amazing night skies, and the best relaxed weekend. Went for a walk on the bushy track and saw some wildlife. We're already thinking we'd like to come back.
