MT CLEAR CAMPGROUND

Public BBQ

Nestled in the ACT's bushland near Canberra, Mt Clear Campground offers an authentic escape into Australia's high country that rewards those willing to navigate its access road. This tent and swag-friendly site explicitly caters to traditional camping rather than caravan tourism, creating an intimate bush experience where minimal facilities enhance rather than detract from the natural setting. The campground provides essential amenities - clean drop toilets, rainwater tanks, solid fire pits, and picnic tables - while maintaining that coveted sense of remoteness just an hour from the capital. Walking tracks snake through surrounding bushland featuring distinctive Eucalyptus stellulata with their mottled bark, while nearby lookouts provide stunning vistas accessible by foot or four-wheel drive. Campers consistently praise the digital detox opportunity, noting the absence of mobile reception as a feature rather than a limitation. The dirt road approach suits motorcycles and four-wheel drives best, though determined two-wheel drive adventurers can manage the journey.
