Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
My property is a small hobby farm of 7.5 acres located on the fringe of Geelong Victoria. It is a basic paddock with plenty of room for campervans, caravans etc. The paddock is an ideal stopover for those traveling on the Spirit of Tasmania. It's located approximately 10 minutes from the Spirit terminal making it an easy stopover the night before you sail. The block is for self-contained campers only, so please ensure you have your own toilet and shower facility. Pet friendly!Follow the signs to Spirit of Tassie Paddock and pull up in my open grass paddocks and set up camp with ease. Plenty of space to spread out for some privacy. At times there could be sheep, chicken or a cow roaming in the paddocks, please drive slowly and make sure to leave any gates as you found them. (If they are open leave them open if shut leave them shut) Pets are welcome but please keep on lead at all times as I have sheep and chickens. Less than 10 minutes drive in the morning to the Spirit of Tasmania terminal in North Geelong. No facilities, so only self-contained campers please. Vehicles with trailers over 22ft may be a bit of a squeeze through the gateways. If you turn the gate with the sign into the driveway and pull up the dropper (this is loose) it opens up the angle into the paddock.

The Paddock
The paddock was convenient, not far from the Spirit of Tasmania docking area, I was alone apart from a couple of neighbouring sheep and donkeys to keep me amused! But I felt safe! And the high power lines! Well! We all love having power don't we? Definitely self contained vehicles only, It definitely did the trick for me....

It is as it says on the box, nothing there other than a flat piece of land where you can park your self everything camper. Just what you need if you catch the Spirit the next day, or if you want to rest before you head off on the mainland the next day. Easy to find, only 10 mins or so from the port. No hassles, No fuss.

There were excessive overhead powerlines. A quiet stay though.
