Wood for your campfire is available to purchase, $15. I can supply fresh sourdough loaves $6 also fresh eggs $3perhalf doz, and fresh cows milk most of the year $5/2L. Fly fish for trout and cook over the coals for a treat.

Why not take your mountain bike up there and enjoy the downhill ride afterwards? Sunsets are spectacular at Stringybark and the skies phenomenal during clear nights.

We live on the property, just a stone's throw from the camp site, so if you ever need anything, just shout out.
Dogs are permitted, however strictly on lead only to protect the wildlife and our sheep. If your dog gets very excited around wildlife or sheep, this may not be a suitable stay, since they might come right up to your camp.

This Rustic country house is also available for hire/rent, there is hot water via a woodfire (takes up to 5 hours to heat up water $50 per wheelbarrow load of wood) with Big triangle bath and a shower for use if you book the house, (3 single beds and a few new double bed air mattresses are available for your less rugged campers who want to come but need that extra comfort or to be close to a toilet at $40 per person per night.)

Pick whatever spot you like to camp upon, by the river, the rocky island in the river, in the bush, just on the paddock grass anywhere.

Absolutely loved my stay at Cherry Top farm. Hospitality was top-notch and leaning the reasoning for the ‘Cherry top’ name was a bonus! Had lovely insightful chats while pruning some of the beautiful flowers and herbs in the ‘wild’ garden, and tasted some lovely fresh hazelnuts, raspberries and blueberry (courtesy of the amazing owners). Will definitely be back for another stay when in the area next time!! :))

Recently had a nights stay at Charlys farm and couldn’t recommend it more! We camped right by the river, swam in the refreshing water and had a campfire in the already established fire pit (thank you Charly)! There were several dogs (of all shapes and sizes) that greeted us and we spent the majority of our time with their beautiful Great Dane, Shilo. Important to note, whilst the dogs bark, they were all incredibly friendly and Charly offered to put them away several times if they were a bother. The paddock was filled with free roaming horses, cows and goats who even let us pet them! We had plenty of privacy and a short walk to the flushing toilet made it a very pleasant stay. If coming from Launceston, we travelled on Roses Tier Road from Upper Blessington, onto Gunns Road and turning left onto Upper Esk Road. Whilst it was steep, windy and gravelly, we found it easy to navigate.
Thanks Charly, we’ll be back!

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted and taken care of. The space is a mix of bushy or open with the ability to choose where best suits you to set up. We followed the hosts suggestion to camp in an open area away from a large group for more peace and quiet.
My friend and I booked two sites and had our 4 dogs with us who were able to have them off lead and they were much happier and relaxed than when they have to be secured. They also had the kids come and play with them which they absolutely loved.
We really enjoyed having the kids show us the estuary and crabs. We really felt like we were an extension of the family during our stay and would happily stay here solo.
Looking forward to staying here again soon!
