3 nights at Derby camp and ride

We loved our visit to Jonathan’s Hipcamp. He was a fabulous host visiting daily offering to take kids on tractor, ATV rides, bringing carrots to feed the horse, offering tourist tips. Kids loved their time in the outside bath, building bike jumps, exploring the property. We loved the quiet location and would love to return some time. We share the camp with 2 families and it was a lovely atmosphere.

What a lovely experience we had here. Huge flat land next to a lagoon and so private. Easy drive into town and the Freycinet Pininsula as well as a good phone signal. Jacqui was great to deal with, got back to us immediately. Thank you for hosting!

What a great place to unwind after the trip over on the SOT. We stayed for 3 days, explored the area and also relaxed around the dam on the property. We saw the platypus playing each day and caught a rainbow trout. Steve was awesome and welcomed us. Put this one on your list.

4 nights at Traill's Corner

Traills Corner was nice to camp at but not well maintained. Grandkids had a great time in the Mersey River with paddle boards and small boat going over the small rapids. Jumping off the pole and swimming. Everyone was disappointed that the spa bath was dirty and couldn't be used. Grass was long which wasn't good with the damp conditions of the weekend. Eels were caught, fish were seen in the river. The warm spring pool in town was also disappointing as has not been maintained, very overgrown with weed. Had to use 4x4 to get out as the overnight rain had made the road slippery up the slight hill. Would I go again? Yes but would hope that the area is in better condition. Grass cut, bath clean. Never saw Mandy but did have a chat with her hubby/partner who was nice to talk to. We did call at the house a couple of times but no one there.

Lovely spot by the river, kids all loved being able to swim and paddle board, spent hours in the river. Great open spot. Area could be a bit better maintained, grass a bit too long, fire pot areas overgrown, few too many thistles. Warm spring bath not usable which was a shame. Lots of potential with a bit of TLC.

We absolutely loved this place! We cam e in search of warmth as rain and wind pummelled our van, and man did it deliver. We enjoyed nightly fires in the quaint little hut and an outdoor wood-fired hot bath, plus spectacular scenery. Cheers for an incredible stay.
