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.

Tunnel Bay Creek, Cape Raoul

Stormlea, TAS · 1 site
I offer private bush camping next to a small lake on a 103-acre rainforest property - only one group allowed at any time, so this is an exclusive camping and bushwalking experience, which also includes private walking-track access into the Tasman National Park (particularly to Tunnel Bay and the Shipstern Bluff). Toilet in the owner's home, with fresh drinking water provided. Stays are limited to a single group - with a maximum of four people per group - so the place is yours to explore on your own. The driveway is not suitable for large campervan access. 2wd is ok, but please take care. Possibility to discuss extended stay (short-term only) with some gardening as swap for payment.
Important: This is not a party property - it is a private residence, in a uniquely quiet and secluded place on the edge of high-value National Park. Playing loud music or behaving in a drunken, antisocial, or otherwise disrespectful manner will result in the owner calling the police. Please keep those things in mind before making a booking to avoid later drama for yourself! Given the serious fire risk and the potentially devastating consequences to the area, campfires are highly restricted, and allowed only in suitably safe weather, as determined by the owner.
My place provides an opportunity to enjoy this very special part of the world in peace. No gigantic carpark. No tourists. No noise. The nearest neighbour is 1km away. There is also no light pollution, and with grand views to the southern ocean, this is as good a place as any to see an Aurora! I see them routinely (check the Aurora alert website for updates). You have your own private walking track into the National Park, along with a large natural area to explore. The property is mainly undisturbed temperate rainforest and includes creeks, springs, a 35-metre waterfall (after good rain), amazing plant and animal diversity, and various places to explore at your leisure. You may be visited by one of the resident Tasmanian Devils, and you'll definitely be surrounded by marsupials and likely smothered with hugs from my doodle dog, Roo.

Spacious 4 bedrooms 2 bathrooms lets you bring the whole family along to create long lasting memories of time spend together. Roaming through the orchard, roasting marshmallows, feeding the Highland cattle, goats, sheep and alpacas. Only 45 minutes away from Hobart.
The Barn from early 1900 has been restored to create a touch of luxury to your rural escape. The Barn is spacious with cathedral ceiling in main living space and exposed beams in the bedrooms.
It's an inviting colonial eclectic space that makes you feel right at home.

Tunnel Bay Creek, Cape Raoul
17. Tunnel Bay Creek, Cape Raoul
Stormlea, TAS · 1 site
I offer private bush camping next to a small lake on a 103-acre rainforest property - only one group allowed at any time, so this is an exclusive camping and bushwalking experience, which also includes private walking-track access into the Tasman National Park (particularly to Tunnel Bay and the Shipstern Bluff). Toilet in the owner's home, with fresh drinking water provided. Stays are limited to a single group - with a maximum of four people per group - so the place is yours to explore on your own. The driveway is not suitable for large campervan access. 2wd is ok, but please take care. Possibility to discuss extended stay (short-term only) with some gardening as swap for payment.
Important: This is not a party property - it is a private residence, in a uniquely quiet and secluded place on the edge of high-value National Park. Playing loud music or behaving in a drunken, antisocial, or otherwise disrespectful manner will result in the owner calling the police. Please keep those things in mind before making a booking to avoid later drama for yourself! Given the serious fire risk and the potentially devastating consequences to the area, campfires are highly restricted, and allowed only in suitably safe weather, as determined by the owner.
My place provides an opportunity to enjoy this very special part of the world in peace. No gigantic carpark. No tourists. No noise. The nearest neighbour is 1km away. There is also no light pollution, and with grand views to the southern ocean, this is as good a place as any to see an Aurora! I see them routinely (check the Aurora alert website for updates). You have your own private walking track into the National Park, along with a large natural area to explore. The property is mainly undisturbed temperate rainforest and includes creeks, springs, a 35-metre waterfall (after good rain), amazing plant and animal diversity, and various places to explore at your leisure. You may be visited by one of the resident Tasmanian Devils, and you'll definitely be surrounded by marsupials and likely smothered with hugs from my doodle dog, Roo.

Nice flat area. Water available to fill tanks. Bins on site. Host is friendly. A little noisy as it is on a main road. Value for Money being close to Hobart outways the road noise which isn’t terrible just annoying at times.

It’s easy to find, off the road. Magpies carolling in the morning. Mozzies were a nuisance. Apart from truck noise at times it is a peaceful stopover.

What a great location and fantastic host. We loved the peaceful location and view of the dam, it was so relaxing after spending a bit of time in busy rv parks. Tim was an excellent host with lots of information about the property and the area. We purchased firewood from Tim and had a contained fire which was lovely. Close to Bicheno and surrounding areas. Thank you Tim for making your property available.

Good spot near enough to Hobart and all the site. We appreciated being able to have a short drive in to the city but still to be able to come back and relax. Rob was really friendly and helpful. Thanks for a great stay.

The Sunny Banks campsite was everything we were looking for! Not out of the way but still secluded and private.
Rob was super accommodating and fast to respond to any questions I had. Had a great view of the nearby farms and an absolute awesome sunset out of nowhere to end our trip.

We loved our stay at Adam’s property. The farm animals were very friendly and Adam was so helpful in accomodating us with leaving our dogs in our van while we explored the national parks in the area. The camping area is fully fenced and as a bonus we could fill up our water tanks on site. Definitely worth a stay if you have dogs or want to stay away from the caravan park crowds. Would stay again

We had a lovely night at Tiana's shared with the cows and Alpacas. The sunset was spectacular. Sites 1-6 are gravelled and it was easy to back our 7.7m motorhome in and get a level spot. Site 6 has a little fire area with a wind break. Nice! The other sites are larger and on the other side of the hill, so I guess it deoends which way the wind is blowing which is the more sheltered side. Definately recommend this place.

Where to go
North-East Tasmania
Start your East Coast road trip in the north, where spectacular views and wildlife sightings await at the Bay of Fires—there are even free camping spots to be found. To the north, the striking coastline of Mount William National Park is ablaze with wildflowers through spring and summer, and it’s the ideal time for snorkelling and scuba diving. Further south, St Helens and the Surf Coast is the place to surf, hike, and fish along the coast.
Freycinet
Three of the East Coast’s national parks are found along the southern stretch of coast, starting with the hugely popular Freycinet National Park. Hiking, sea kayaking, and snorkelling are fun ways to explore Wineglass Bay and the surrounding coastline, and the beach camping is second to none. Nearby, there’s forest hiking and camping at Douglas Apsley National Park and car-free camping near the painted cliffs of Maria Island National Park.
Tasman Peninsula
Dangling off Tasmania’s southeast corner, the Tasman Peninsula is dominated by towering sea cliffs. Explore the coastal hikes, hidden sea caves, and windswept beaches of the Tasman National Park, uncover Tasmania’s convict history at the Port Arthur Historic Site, or tackle some of the island’s most epic surf. You’ll find great camping in and around the national park or, for a more local experience, the peninsula is also peppered with Hipcamps.
