Stringybark is a quiet 80 hectare rural property in the North East of Tasmania, featuring bush, native grassland and 4 beautiful lakes. It's the perfect place to kick back and relax, enjoy the views, the abundant wildlife and refreshing swims in the lakes on the property.
If you feel like going for a wander, you can spend hours exploring the bush and native grasslands on the property and if you're keen on climbing the hill you get rewarded with amazing views over the Great Western Tiers. 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.
Although it feels like the end of the world, surrounded by bush and wildlife, we're only 30 minutes drive from Launceston CBD, Ben Lomond National Park and Josef Chromy's winery and only a 20 minute drive from Launceston Airport, making it a perfect base to explore Launceston and surrounds.
You need to be fully self contained and there are no amenities. But there is a beautiful lake with jetty to swim in.
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.
Please note, that Stringybark is a working property. While we'll always respect your privacy and keep noise levels to a minimum, please be aware that we do work on the land and that tools, building material and other rural property stuff can be present at any time (never on the campsite though).
Please ALWAYS supervise children and pets, particularly in the following areas:
-bush and grass areas where snakes can be present most of the year
-around the shed where we store farm materials
-around our lakes which are not fenced in
We're so excited to be sharing our piece of paradise with campers from near and far and from all walks of life :)

41km from Scottsdale · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
Stringybark is a quiet 80 hectare rural property in the North East of Tasmania, featuring bush, native grassland and 4 beautiful lakes. It's the perfect place to kick back and relax, enjoy the views, the abundant wildlife and refreshing swims in the lakes on the property.
If you feel like going for a wander, you can spend hours exploring the bush and native grasslands on the property and if you're keen on climbing the hill you get rewarded with amazing views over the Great Western Tiers. 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.
Although it feels like the end of the world, surrounded by bush and wildlife, we're only 30 minutes drive from Launceston CBD, Ben Lomond National Park and Josef Chromy's winery and only a 20 minute drive from Launceston Airport, making it a perfect base to explore Launceston and surrounds.
You need to be fully self contained and there are no amenities. But there is a beautiful lake with jetty to swim in.
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.
Please note, that Stringybark is a working property. While we'll always respect your privacy and keep noise levels to a minimum, please be aware that we do work on the land and that tools, building material and other rural property stuff can be present at any time (never on the campsite though).
Please ALWAYS supervise children and pets, particularly in the following areas:
-bush and grass areas where snakes can be present most of the year
-around the shed where we store farm materials
-around our lakes which are not fenced in
We're so excited to be sharing our piece of paradise with campers from near and far and from all walks of life :)

John and Leslie were very welcoming. We decided to camp for the night of NUTOPIA - held on the 1st April each year, on their farmstay, which, was amazing 👏 music, hospitality, laughter and friendly people and delicious curry and hazelnuts! We'll be back for sure. The camp spot is located on a gorgeous piece of land.

The location is brilliant. Beaconsfield‘s township is a short walk away, yet this HipCamp feels like it’s in the country. We had a beautiful view of the dam from our site. We were the only ones in the HipCamp. There are two sites with barbecue tables and fireplaces. Both sites are well maintained. In Winter, the site at the end of the dam would be ideal, as you would receive morning sun. Plenty of space in both sites for charging solar panels. The Hipcamp would be ideal for children as there’s a lot of space in which they can run around. 3 Kayaks are also provided for use. A gentle pony lives on the property and it’s lovely when she comes and pays you a visit. If it’s been raining, pack gum boots or other boots as the pony likes to spend a lot of time at the entry gate. Solar powered fairy lights have been wrapped around a number of the trees, which looked lovely. You’ll also have phone reception at this Hipcamp.

James's place was fantastic, not only do you get the entire campsite to yourself, you can have a camp fire and you can add on to your booking an hour long sauna and plunge pool session. I'd highly recommend trying it, especially after a day of mountain biking or hiking.
It was just so peaceful at our campsite, we set up beside the Ringarooma River watching the platypus play, we didn't want to leave. It's also a short walk or ride into the charming town of Branxholm. Where you will find the biggest & best lamb pie's I've ever tasted at Tin Timbers Cafe.
James and Graham (son & father) were so friendly and welcoming. They also have cabins onsite if your not into camping. It's a beautiful property that you don't want to miss.
