We are looking to go camping around
Jindabyne this school holidays. Looking for mountain biking and fishing. Have a 4wd and off-road camper trailer. Two adults, two kids. Have never been down this way camping so we are looking for recommendations. We are fully self sufficient and prefer to
camp in isolation if possible
Thanks in advance for your input.
Jason

A bit further inland from
Jindabyne but
Tantangara dam (good fishing) is one option Jason. From there you can slip down the road to
Yarrangobilly caves for either a guided or self-guided tour and have a swim in the
thermal pool / splash
pool (
toilets, change rooms). Take a look at the NP owned
homestead Currango if you're around Tantangara.
Another nice spot is
3 Mile Dam but there will almost certainly be a few others around. Plenty of room either side of the
dam but the peninsula is the nicest imo. Doubt you'll catch much there though.
More remote is Lobs Hole/The Ravine with fishing available in the Yarrangobilly River (NSW fishing licence required).

We used to stay at Jacobs river on the road which went from near
Jindabyne through Suggan Buggan to
Buchan in Vic.Might have been the Barry Way?? can't recall. Towed a
Penguin camper there and there was some distance of dirt road.
Not sure what the fishing was like though, or that you would be camping by yourself as it was a
campground with a long drop
toilet.We used to put inflated air mattresses into the water and travel downstream through rapids and it was loads of fun, although that was in January. Would imagine weather in April and the water temp might be chilly.
There were other campgrounds further along the road and i guess if you could find somewhere off the road a bit, you may be able to tuck yourself in and
camp by yourself.

If you do go into the Kosiuszko Park, you can ride your bikes to
the summit. It is an easy ride from
Charlotte Pass up the road. You won't be the first to do it, but at least you can say that you did it. I think I can claim a first. In 1968??, I rode to
the summit on 27 July. Even with global warming, I doubt that you would be able to do it now at that time of the year..
