64km from Bridgewater · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
Deep Glen is a beautiful, quiet 5 acre property at Eaglehawk Neck, gateway to the stunning Tasman Peninsula. Hiking, surfing, fishing, swimming, diving are all at your doorstep, not to mention the famous Three Capes Track and the Port Arthur Historic site just a short drive away. If you want to see the coast shown in these photos, both the Tasman Island Cruise and Wild Ocean Tasmania offer excellent trips
Bookings are for two adults; children under 16 are free. It may be possible for larger groups to occupy one site - please enquire before booking.
As the site is teeming with wildlife including the barred bandicoot, we don't allow dogs.
There are no facilities on the block apart from a long drop dunny (byo paper) and a small supply of non-potable water so you will need to be self-sufficient though there are good meals at the nearby Lufra Hotel and excellent coffee just up the road at the legendary Cubed Coffee van.
We only make provision for two campsites so you'll never be crowded.

This was an excellent campground! The camp kitchen had everything you need - dishes, pots, pans, cutlery, and even some staple items like oils and spices. The bathrooms were very clean. The place is in a great setting in the mountains with lots of wildlife around (pademelons, wallabies, possums, rabbits). You have to drive about 10km down a dirt road to get to it, but it is worth it! There is no phone service, but the wifi in the kitchen works really well. This was probably the best campground I stayed in in my two weeks in Tasmania.

The views on the way to the campsite were lovely. We arrived very late to camp, but the hosts were amazing and understanding. They provide everything you need for a great stay; power, amenities, kitchen and laundry. The views in the morning did not disappoint. Amazing place!

The host welcomed us very kindly. The facilities are so nice. You could take a shower with warm water and provided a clean bathroom. It is the best campsite! It was great to take a walk because you could see wild animals such as wallabies and rabbits, and it was a nice place to go because it was in the quiet and scenic mountains. I took many pictures of my life.

Alana and Steve’s property is just perfect. Only had one night there camping between Mt Field and Freycinet but will be back. Peaceful, serene and gorgeous property. Do the walk of the block, it’s so beautiful. Recommend a couple of nights there to chill and unwind between adventures. Alana and Steve were also friendly and kind. Thanks guys ☺️

Up a crazy mountain road, with spectacular wilderness views, we found that this well-designed campground is full of amenities, thoughtful comforts and local wildlife. All facilities--toilets, showers, group kitchen, laundry, power hookups--were the best we have ever experienced in our decades of camping across the globe. Steve and Alana are inspiring in their vision, energy and delivery. Steve's daily dusk feeding and talk about local wildlife showcased the best of Tassie (and people in general) : teaching visitors about the magic of his home, sharing the spirit of homesteaders in the wilderness and demonstrating how to care for and share with all our wild neighbors and the land we love. Much gratitude for a memorable short stay. We hope to return again soon!

Fantastic place to stay!
Beautiful amongst the trees with all the wildlife.
Be sure to pack away all food, the pademelons are clever.
Stephen is a great host and gave great tips for surrounding areas.
Cubed coffee up the road is a must try, best coffee I’ve had in Aus and has stunning views while you enjoy.
Thank you Stephen, we’ll see you again 😄

We ended up here after we had to leave another camping area! And wish that we had come here first! It was everything we needed! Very peacefull and quiet! Rod was great pointing us in the right direction! It was a perfect base for Bruny! Next door was a lovely garden that we explored too! Our site had just been freshly mowed! On a creek, we were able to have a firepot which was great!
Would reccomend rods hipcamp to anyone who is headed to Bruny! Thanks rod!
