Rivers Edge

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 and we are a working hobby farm with animals.

We love the peace and serenity here so please no unruly behaviour or parties.

Marleen Herbs of Tasmania



We grow and process organic certified medicinal herbs and plants.

The camping site is located in a beautiful location overlooking the lavender fields, in bloom december/january, with the ever-changing Mt Roland in the background. 

On days with cold southerly winds, alternative campingsites are available on the farm. Please contact us to find out. 
Includes use flushing toilet, hot shower and laundry (external access). Approx. 300m from the campsite. We are pet friendly.

We've got room for up to 5 separate bookings.

Due to shortage of personnel, we can no longer offer the farm tours.

But hipcampers are welcome to have a walk among the herb fields.

We are working together with other organic certified farmers. They lease parts of our land to grow vegetables. Hipcampers are welcome to have a walk around their crops as well.
