Peaceful unspoilt bush and farm land on the Great Dividing Range. 1 hour from Canberra, 3 hours from Sydney. Turn off highway down 6.5km private gravel road, then follow short dirt tracks into campsites. Choice of two secluded campgrounds over 1km apart; only one private group per campground. Campfires allowed when conditions permit, free firewood supplied. No services (power, water, sewerage, rubbish collection or wifi). Peppermint Gum Group Campground is well established and suits larger groups of friends or 2-3 families (max 16 guests). Located in 1.6ha (4 acres) of grassy woodland, it offers a good choice of mown campsites in shade or sun. A large communal clearing is centrally located for group gatherings, with a rustic camp kitchen hut for all-weather cooking and eating. A pit toilet is a short walk away, with handwashing station and views! Snowgums Campsite is a smaller campsite for up to 6 people, on a low forested ridge overlooking Sandhills Creek below. 3 separate mown tent sites and a campfire clearing in protected snowgums forest. Several kilometres of marked walking trails within the property. Explore the creek line, hike up the mountain to the old stone trig point, walk to the swimming hole on the creek with jetty, picnic area and rowboat. Numerous picnic spots. A swimming dam, jetty, and picnic sites are accessible via marked walking and driving tracks. There are also several kms of walking tracks directly from the campsite along Sandhills Creek and the 'mountain paddock'. Owners live further along the road on the property, and can be contacted if needed. A separate AirBnB house is located on the property; please respect the privacy of fellow guests.

Snowgums Campsite

Two good camping clearings amongst the gum trees. Good flat grassed ground and the option to buy water by the Jerry can is great.

Peppermint Gum Group Campground

Fabulous spot! Private, shady, and a camp shelter that was ideal for our group, and plenty of space for the games we brought. We orded one of the offered extras (gas bottle) only a few days before and it was set up ready to go when we arrived. Thanks Martina!

Snowgums Campsite

Very peaceful spot not far from Canberra with a lovely outlook over grasslands, snow gums and a creek. Martina kindly offered a 20L can of water at the site, and the simple pit toilet had a private yet impressive view over the bushland. There are some roughly marked bush trails around the property which make for fun exploring.
