Camp and fish just a stonesthrow from one of Tasmania's most stunning natural landscapes, Cradle Mountain. Here you'll find nature at its best, just 10 minutes drive from the Cradle Mountain Visitors centre, the perfect base for discovering this magical area.
Our campsites are on scenic, levelled areas overlooking the large dam and bushland, with grassed areas ideal for tents and camper-vans, and a portaloo a short walk away. The block is a natural timber and grassland block, with devils, quolls and wombats also residing here. We have one powered site available, and multiple unpowered sites.
There is a lovely walking track around the dams periphery. Feed fish from the edge, spot platypus frolicking about, and keep your eye out for Peacocks wandering the property too. Whilst you are welcome to bring your dog with you, please ensure they don't harass the wildlife.

We (2 adults, 3 teens) stayed three nights and found it a perfect spot for exploring cradle mountain. The owners were very friendly, and the spots were beautiful. Everywhere had a lovely view of the dam, kayaks and canoe were provided to explore the water, lots of local fauna wandering about the place, and the toilets were cleaned regularly.

We received a lovely welcome from Scott, who showed us our options for camping in our tent. It was a great atmosphere, with awesome activities available, and the port-a-loo's were by far the best ones we have ever been in!

Camping with river views and soft bleating from the kids in the next paddock was so relaxing. Hosts were extremely welcoming and hospitable. We enjoyed the animal feeding (not just for the kids) and learning about both the animals and the pepperberry products. Planned to stay 3 nights and extended to 5 while we explored the south west and spent days just relaxing at camp.

The man who owns/runs the place was really kind on check in. Felt welcomed and safe. The park is very popular and very full when we were there. We enjoyed using the kayaks on the dam. Cradle mountain is super close by. Clean toilets. Recommend!
