What a phenomenal camp spot tucked away in nature, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Tim is such a great host, so friendly and accomodating. Would recommend this Hipcamp to anyone looking for a quiet spot tucked away in the trees.

1 night at Cluny Lagoon

Such an incredible spot right on the river with views to sit and look at all afternoon, we shared the spot with another couple and plenty of room for the both of us!

1 night at Cradle Mountain Fishery and Camping

Scott was still available at 8pm when we arrived after some unexpected delays and gave us our bearings - had a spot just up from the waters edge with a fire pit and seated area. Was a nice walk around the lake in the morning too

Weekend Trip to Old Macs Farm Stay

1 night at Cradle Mountain Fishery and Camping

Easy access, lovely lake and amenities and very close to Cradle Mountain

Weekend Trip to Sherwood River Camp

Beautiful relaxing spot right by the river. Close to Latrobe for shopping, dump point etc.

Weekend Trip to Inglis River Caravan and Camping

The peace and tranquillity just sitting back and listening to the water in the creek was really good. We were a little disappointed that we was there for 3 nights and never met the owners

Weekend Trip to Old Macs Farm Stay

Great spot and close to the centre part of town. Communication was top-notch and everything was really well thought of. Very large paddock with lots of choices to pick from. Thanks Lucas and Bec.

Weekend Trip to Fairview Farm Ringarooma Tasmania

Great little private spot by the river. Loved it. Thanks Pauline

Weekend Trip to Sherwood River Camp

A great location to stay especially before/after catching the Spirit of Tassie. Beautiful outlook over the river and well maintained property. A short walk/ride to a suspension bridge and lots of mountain biking too. This is our second time staying here and would recommend. Sadly this time there were other people staying who blasted music well into the night and were extremely noisy and disruptive. I suppose you can find that anywhere but it was pretty unpleasant to camp next to.

Weekend Trip to Traill's Corner

Great spot right on the river. Picnic tables & fire pots, our dogs had a lovely time too.

3 nights at Creekside Camp

Lovely little spot. Lots of bird / wildlife green grass and the creek - makes you feel a thousand miles away - despite being only 20mins from Hobart.

11 nights at Inglis River Caravan and Camping

We were lucky enough to stay here for 11 nights over school holidays and Easter, although we're retired. It was so peaceful and we had so much space between camps. Parked close to the river and very private. Fire every night in the provided receptacle. Need to be fully self contained, but we are. We used it as a base, taking day trips in the north west, with a "rest" day a couple of times. Close to Wynyard and Burnie for shopping, water, fuel. Aaron dropped in for a chat a couple of times. We found them very easy to deal with via Hipcamps. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

We do however have a decent level parking area not far from the camping site, so if you have multiple vehicles yet are tent camping for example, you can park the additional vehicles in the carpark and walk to camp. Multiple caravanners traveling together will need to book separately. We accept well-behaved pets. Most of the sites don’t have power, but we have a charging area for your devices. We also have a composting toilet, portaloo and an outdoor passive solar shower. Do you have an event we can help host? We could easily accommodate 30-40 for a day event. Enquire if interested!

Ladybug Campgrounds

8 sites · Tents50 acres · Oldina, TAS

Ladybug Camping is a brand-new, park-like private campground offering a unique and peaceful escape in Oldina, Tasmania. Set among waterfalls, bubbling creeks, and towering blackwood trees, it’s the perfect retreat for families, couples, and groups looking to unwind in nature. The grounds have a spacious, open feel—more like a bushland park than a traditional campground—while still offering privacy and tranquility. Nestled in a sheltered valley, the campground is naturally protected from the wind, making even less-than-perfect days feel pleasant for camping. You might spot a platypus gliding through the creek, Tasmania’s giant freshwater crayfish beneath the rocks, or plenty of pademelons grazing at dusk. Each campsite includes a picnic table and a perfectly placed firepit—great for meals, campfire chats, or stargazing under the clear Tassie sky. Whether you're exploring forest trails or simply enjoying the peaceful setting, Ladybug Camping invites you to experience the magic of the Tasmanian bush in comfort and style.

Rivers Edge

1 site · RV, Tent24 acres · Gunns Plains, TAS

Rivers Edge is 24 acres of forest on the banks of the Leven River in Gunns Plains, Tasmania. We are in our own little valley surrounded by tall forests. Preston Creek flows all year through our property and meets the large Leven River where your campsite is situated. Perfect for trout fishing, platypus watching, bird watching or catching the sun setting through the trees on the river bend. There are even the endangered black fresh water crayfish. The site is large enough for up to 5-6 caravans for large bookings, and we only take one booking at a time, so its exclusively yours. We are only 20km to the nearest town, Ulverstone which as everything you need. The road is close by the campsite with easy access to find the property. No toilet facilities at the site. Sat TV is good and limited mobile reception. Telstra works best we've found. River access over a rocky, uneven embankment as it's a natural, untouched environment, just how we and the native animals like it. Campfires ONLY PERMITTED when fire restrictions aren't in place. You absolutely must make sure your campfire is fully extinguished before you leave. Please check "My Trips" (in your profile) for directions once confirmed. Look for the 'Rivers Edge' sign on the entrance gate, then you know youve got the right site and not the neigbours property (which is along side mine on the river) Well behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept with you at all times, no roaming dogs as the road is close by. We love the peace and serenity here so please no unruly behaviour or parties.
