Blue Range Recreation Area sits in the Uriarra Forest, about 45 minutes west of Canberra, accessed via Blue Range Road 3. 2 km along East West Road off Brindabella Road.

The campground is centred on the heritage-listed remains of a World War II Italian internment camp and is set among tall ribbon gum eucalypts and former pine plantation. It accommodates a range of camping styles from swags to camper-trailers and small vans.

The area serves as a solid base for alpine walking trails in northern Namadgi National Park, including a moderate 9. 8 km circuit to the historic Sherwood Homestead. Horse riding is permitted, and dogs are welcome on-leash.

Campers should come prepared with their own drinking water and firewood, and must use only constructed fireplaces.

Bookings are available for small groups or the entire site for larger gatherings; organised groups require a permit through the Namadgi Visitor Centre.
