Morning All,

Seems we are off camping this weekend and keen to head down towards Jindabyne. It is the 'Canberra Day' long weekend. Any tips on good campsites would be appreciated.

Camper trailer, self contained, no genny, 2 kids, no dogs (NP OK), shady, somewhere to swim, nice walks nearby and would like to keep it under 3 hours from Canberra. Doesn't need to be free, but always a bonus.

Any pointers from recent visitors to the area would be great.

Thanks,

Matt.

Matt

Try Geehi, Swampy River Flats not far from Threadbro. Beautiful river, great campsites and a lot of local history with the surveyors huts.
Have a good long weekend.

Regards
John

Second the Geehi Camp Sites.

Christine and I were really taken with the camp area. Each individual area seperated from others by a hedge a native shrubs so as to give privacy and a clean toilet block.

The river creek was very pretty, deep enough holes to get a good wetting however I would not be trying to do swannies of the bank.

We were unable to stay there due to a tight time table but hope to return this May. A site we believe worth visiting.

"Camoing" is that making cow noises while using a camera Matt?

And why do you need a lake or stream for that??????

No TONI is still not for sale!!!!!!

No its' not!

It actually means to wear army camouflage whilst running around in the bush. Everyone knows that.

George,

I thought "Camoing" meant any activity that meant running around making lots of noise while putting no a dance & singing spectacular for the assembled multitude in odd matching outfits....

but maybe I'm wrong
