Thredbo Diggings camping area is located between Jindabyne & Thredbo & is about 17 kilometres from each. As it is in the national park there are costs involved - refer to the link as these vary depending on the time of year. There are ample sites suitable for both tents & caravans. The road in is dirt & a bit corrugated but short. There are drop toilets & fireplaces for which you need to collect wood outside the park or purchase it in Jindabyne. The Thredbo River is on your door stop & is very popular with fly fisherman (need a fishing licence). Locals were dropping in every afternoon to fish.
Trees are plentiful for shade. There is a walking track nearby which will take you to Bullocks Track & Lake Crackenback. Kangaroos & wombats were the main type of animals seen. The kangas were a bit too friendly so just shoo them away. Don't feed them as they can become quite aggressive. You need to bring your own drinking water. Arrive early in the afternoon as this is a popular spot.
It is available all year round but being an alpine region the warmer months would be more enjoyable.
