73km from St Helens · 4 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 :)

We had an amazing time at Rosie's property, large open green fields, close to the creek. Short walk to Derby. If we are at Derby again we will definitely be staying again. Rosie was friendly and a wealth of local knowledge. Thanks again Rosie.

An absolute paradise! Beautiful location, spacious sites with plenty of room. We had the whole place to ourselves and it was a perfect spot to relax and enjoy peace and tranquillity. Rosie is friendly and very helpful. Easy access to Derby and surrounds. We absolutely loved this place, highly recommend (although we want to keep it a secret so we can keep coming back and have it all to ourselves!)

We stayed 3 nights but felt like we had a 3 week break. It was that good. Easily pulled in with our 17’ caravan. Short walk to each of the two river access points. I thoroughly enjoyed the walk through the river to a track that leads to Derby. Rosie has put so much work into making campers feel welcomed and at home. We look forward to visiting again.

Lovely grassy sites next to the river. The provision of firepots is a huge plus (and wood can be purchased) Derby is really close by for those wanting to ride the bike tracks. Host was lovely and welcoming. Really enjoyed our stay.

1 night at Stringybark Bush Camp

We only stayed for one night as we were only passing through the area but we enjoyed our stay. We were the only ones camping at the time and enjoyed some local wines and cheese by the damn with our 2 collies. Romina's communication was great and we would stay there again (maybe next time for longer).

Loved our stay at Frasers Flats. Such a great find to get out of the hustle and bustle of Derby itself, yet so close. Nice and peaceful, plenty of room and a beautiful outlook. Would definitely recommend.

Peaceful, quiet and private. We were about 200 metres away from all other campers. Certainly beat staying in Derby with the crowds.

Weekend Trip to Derby Frasers Flats

It’s so peaceful. You don’t have the crowds like Derby. It’s a shame that we couldn’t go and explore the river crossing to get to the Branxholm/Derby track. There were campers right where it is and we didn’t want to intrude on their privacy so had to drive to Derby to ride. We’ll definitely be back though.
