Hi all
I'm keen to go camping in the Snowys with a mate in a few weeks. We want to
camp somewhere isolated near water that we can fish in. We do not like camping within easy reach of civilization, hence we often go camping in state forests where you can, within reason, set up
camp wherever you like, have campfires, etc.
There's plenty of detail online about the campgrounds in the Snowys. My question is, what "bush camping" is available/allowed outside of these areas near rivers/lakes/dams/creeks/etc?
Thanks!
Brett

Hi Brett,
Lots to consider in your question,
Where do you want to go, Snowys is a big area - if you have no idea, google these choices
-Tantatangera
dam just south of
Adaminaby, heading toward Tumut on the main drag, great camping and not far from the main road - unsure about bathroom facilities, as for isolation this is
the spot, its a huge
dam and your on your own

Tom Groggin, past Threbdo, and right on the water with some good fly fishing, again not far from civilisation but can get busy over weekends,
toilets are on site on north side of the water closest to road, other side of water is Victoria, and no
toilets that Im aware of

Thanks Paul
Never been to the Snowys before, have no idea what's there, just want to go somewhere with a little altitude where it's a bit cooler than
Sydney!
Really appreciate your suggestions, will look them up.
Brett.

Depends on how isolated you want to be Brett.
Lake Eucumbene has good camping and fishing but is popular, Tantangara much less so. And then for very isolated you could try Lob's Hole/The Ravine on the Yarrangobilly River. If you head the way of the latter two drop in to the
Yarrangobilly caves, take in a
cave tour (or do the self-guided) and have a swim in the
thermal pool. Bit of a walk back up the
hill but
well worth it.
