Osmaston, TAS · 9 sites
Conveniently located between Launceston and Devonport, Buckbill Banks Camping offers a beautiful, level camping area overlooking Quamby Brook Creek. The 35-acre property offers views of Quamby Bluff, and various options to explore and relax. Find yourself a nice quiet spot, where you can enjoy peace and quiet. Although we take several bookings at once, you are guaranteed a secluded nook, there is plenty of space. Choose a wood fired hot tub site beside the creek or choose general creekside camping beside the creek. Imagine star gazing from the hot tub of an evening, whilst keeping your eyes peeled for the resident platypus in their natural habitat! Firewood is provided for the hot tub, you may buy wood on site for your individual campfires. The hot Tub is not for wild parties, but to relax and view the native wild life, quietly watch the platypus in their natural environment. Please note, we accept one camper trailer/caravan per booking. If you are traveling in a group with multiple caravans, you will need to book multiple sites - but will still be able to camp close together although we dont allow big noisy, disruptive groups anymore! The property has good access for all types of vehicles.

This property is available again at a reduced capacity. Maximum of 3 units. Also dogs should be leashed. DO NOT BRING WOOD FROM OUTSIDE. MY TOLERANCE ON THIS ISSUE IS EXAUSTED. Access height has been raised to 3.7meters. Pine Ridge has been developed over the years to be a natural park land with a good variety of local vegetation including stands of mature trees. lower scrub has been removed for physical and viewing access and to keep the property more secure and manageable. The vegetation also provides significant protection on windy days compared to many other open places. Native animals and birdlife abound the location. There is a community pergola area beside the substantial water hole which has a small jetty allowing easy access for swimming. There is also a stone barbecue and fire pit area available on suitable weather conditions. There are ocean views from the property's main road areas, which also provide a large area of flatish firm ground with large areas providing easy maneuverability and turning. The property is 2-3km from the main highway turn off that leads to the Douglas Apsley National Park. The corner of the property is only 50 meters from the park edge, with the Parks main access several km further along Rosedale Rd. The turn off is only 2 km from the town edge. It is sealed road except for the last 100meters and in good condition. FIRES. Ok unless a fire ban. GOOD BAGS OF WOOD ON SITE FOR $20. NO OUTSIDE WOOD CAN BE BROUGHT ONTO THE PROPERTY AND BURNT. I HAVE TRIED TO MAKE A MIDDLE GROUND ON THIS ISSUE BUT UNFORTUNATELY SOME HAVE ABUSED THE FAIR RULES SO THIS IS NOW THE SITUATION. NO FORAGING GROUND WOOD WITHOUT ASKING ME AND GETTING APPROVAL. VEHICLES PER SITE. SEVERAL VEHICLES ( VANS, CAMPERS ECT) MAY BE ON A SITE IS COMMON WITH FRIEND GROUPS, BUT EACH MUST BE BOOKED SEPARATELY OR DONE WITH PRIOR ARRANGEMENT DIRECTLY WITH ME.

Bush camping beside a small lake on a 103-acre rainforest property. Only one person/group allowed at any time, so this an exclusive camping and bushwalking experience. Guests enjoy private walking-track access into the Tasman National Park, including routes toward Tunnel Bay/Shipstern Bluff. Early check-in and/or late check-out is fine. Pets allowed on the property, but not beyond the Parks boundary Your own small bathroom is available (with toilet and sink - hot water). Fresh drinking water is provided. Free Wifi access near the residence, otherwise patchy Optus and Telstra around the block. You can charge your devices at no cost. The driveway is not suitable for large campervans. Two-wheel drive vehicles are generally fine, but care is required. There is an opportunity for an extended stay in exchange for light gardening work, by prior discussion. This is a private residence in a uniquely quiet and secluded location on the edge of a high-value national park. Playing loud music or behaving in a drunken, antisocial, or otherwise disrespectful manner will result in the owner contacting the police. Please keep this in mind before booking to avoid any issues. Due to serious fire risk and the potentially devastating impact on the surrounding area, campfires are highly restricted and permitted only in safe weather conditions, as determined by the owner. This property offers a rare opportunity to experience a truly special part of the world in peace. No crowded car parks. No tourists. No noise. The nearest neighbour is 1 km away. With no light pollution and sweeping views toward the Southern Ocean, it’s an exceptional spot for stargazing—and even for seeing the Aurora, which can occur here (check Aurora alerts for updates). You’ll have access to your own private walking track into the national park, along with a vast natural area to explore. The property is largely undisturbed temperate rainforest, featuring creeks, springs, a 35-metre waterfall (after good rain), incredible plant and animal diversity, and countless places to wander at your leisure. You may spot a resident Tasmanian devil, and you’ll certainly be surrounded by native marsupials—plus the odd enthusiastic greeting from my doodle dog, Roo.
