Weekend Trip to Dragon River Campground

We loved this spot, beautiful by the river and some alpacas for neighbours. The fire drum and firewood provided made our night very comfortable. No luck on the trout, but maybe that’s just a good excuse to come back. Could genuinely spend a week here, going in and out seeing the sights around the area. Easy booking, easy directions, 5 star Hipcamp!!!

Weekend Trip to Fairview Farm Ringarooma Tasmania

We failed to follow the directions properly and ended up at Pauline's house. Pauline was friendly and helpful. The track to the campsite is downhill and at times tricky with a 17'6'' caravan but easily navigatable however 20' plus vans may find it challenging. The campsite is by the river and has a fire ring which we used. There is a portaloo further along from the campsite which we did not visit. When camping it is best to drive into the site then easily reverse out when leaving. The only downside to the campsite was that the grass was not cut and the long grass impeded access around the van.

Weekend Trip to Farm on Franklin - Tasmania

We loved our stay at Farm on Franklin, such a beautiful place we were greeted by Sarah at the property and were allowed to pick our own grassy spot by the river. This place is perfect for families and you can bring your pet, fire pots provided and short walks by the river add to the serenity. this place is only 10 minutes from Port Sorell and close to the national park. Easy to follow directions 5 minutes on a gravel road to get to the site, some telstra coverage with semi level sites that only took some minor leveling of our 21 ft van. we would love stay again and would highly recommend to quiet couples travelling with their pets. dump point and woolworths in Port Sorell

I stayed here for one night after spending the day in Launceston. It’s close to Launceston and set in beautiful surroundings. Good and clear communication from the host and clear instructions on how to find the site. Good size sites and clean quality toilets .I will definitely be staying here again in the near future

A lovely retreat- so peaceful. Lots of birds and wildlife about. Too much water in the river to have a quiet paddle - but that's Spring for you!

Weekend Trip to Sherwood River Camp

Great camping spot lots to do -walking , riding etc. We all had fun. The only problem was we had our 2 grandchildren both under 6 and we were charged for them so it was quite expensive for our 2 nights. It’s not clear when booking and unfortunately we didn’t pay attention when paying

We loved staying at Old Macs farm, we were able to drive in and find any site we chose. We were able to secure a nice area with walking tracks, ponds, water available for the caravan if needed. It was nice and quiet and will be using this place to camp at again for sure!
