Weekend Trip to Mangana Land camping

A nice spot to camp within a fenced area not too far off the road, got a nice view of the distant hills , some cars passing on road nearby but pretty quiet spot to camp for the night, some nice bird life around including some rosellas pirching in the trees. Host was great help to allow me to access into the property.

Weekend Trip to Fairview Farm Ringarooma Tasmania

We very much enjoyed our camping trip to Pauline's!! It's so nice having the spot to yourself especially when you have a doggo who doesn't love other dogs. No stress just time to relax. I also got to see the resident platypus in the afternoon as well as early morning. Such a joy, we will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Mabel's Paddock RV Farm Stay

Great place to stay we had two nights there. Simon and Tiana were so welcoming and helpful. Peaceful and tranquil would highly recommend. Can’t wait to go back

1 night at Mabel's Paddock RV Farm Stay

Lovely location overlooking the valley and the mountains in the distance with the lavender farm in the background Large sites and fire pits 8 out of 10

Weekend Trip to Fairview Farm Ringarooma Tasmania

A great spot on the Ringarooma river, nice and secluded and great views of the surrounding green hills. The spot was easily accessible and we had plenty of firewood to keep us warm. We definitely will be back! Thanks for having us and the delicious sourdough!

3 nights at Derby Frasers Flats

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.

1 night at Happy Healthy Valleys

Perfect for those wising to get away from it all, slow down and be in nature. Thank you so much for sharing

2 nights at Fairview Farm Ringarooma Tasmania

Such a breathtaking spot. Utterly private, right next to a beautiful, clear creek and nestled amongst rolling green hills and wild forested mountains. We could sit by our fire and simultaneously watch as the resident platypus did her laps of the creek and the cattle grazed those green fields with the glorious colours of the sunset streaked overhead. Recommend and hope to return soon 🤍

Weekend Trip to Derby Bush Bath Retreat

Jonathan is a great host. So many little extras at this camp. Very close to town. Communication is great. Planning a return visit with friends. Very quiet and peaceful at night. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Thank you!

Weekend Trip to Derby Bush Bath Retreat

Weekend Trip to Derby Frasers Flats

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.

Weekend Trip to Derby Frasers Flats

Enjoyed our camp here. Well maintained and easy to find. Plenty of room. Close to Derby and great for dogs.

1 night at Craigie Knowe Vineyard

We loved getting the opportunity to stay in the vineyard in our Self Contained RV. We enjoyed waking up to a beautiful sunrise on this property. It was entertaining watching the sheep in the morning getting out of the gate and then the farmers coming to round them up as a taste of what a working farm is like. The vineyards were spectacular with the most grapes we have ever seen on the branches! We wish we could have spent more time to enjoy the winery and restaurant but that gives us more of a reason to come back to visit!

2 nights at Fairview Farm Ringarooma Tasmania

Absolutely loved the stay at River Hole Paddock. The scenery was beautiful, and everything was so clean and well thought out. Especially loved the Sourdough making class with Pauline, received a Sourdough starter and a full written out recipe. Bonus points because our car battery ran flat and Pauline and her family were very responsive and more than helpful in giving it a jump start. We had unlimited wood and kindling for what we paid. Would highly recommend.

3 nights at Huckaway Stay

Noce peaceful spot. We were the only campers during a busy time so really loved the peace and Quiet.

2 nights at Derby Bush Bath Retreat

We had a lovely time at Jonathon’s place catching up with extended family. Jonathon was genuinely interested in our experience while staying at his place, first with getting us settled and always responsive and happy to be helpful without being overbearing. We were pleased to find a Dutch oven in the rustic kitchen shelter to use in the fire drums provided for an outdoor cooking experience. Jonathon has done landscaping work to make the campsite attractive to campers and the outlook to the surrounding hills is spectacular. We would recommend staying here.

2 nights at Craigie Knowe Vineyard

Love the setup . Plenty of space .. lovely guest and the restaurant is delicious and only 5 min walk away from the camping site

WildWing Retreat

6 sites · RVs, Tents25 acres · St Helens, TAS

WildWing Retreat is a beautiful 25 acre bush block, located within a 15 minute (1km) walk, to the local surf beach of Four Mile. The property has been created to host retreats centred around nature immersion, movement and connection (i.e yoga, acroyoga, dance, meditation, mindfuness, embodiment practices etc) and in the 'off season' it's available to host hipcampers! Because the space has been designed to host large groups, there are a bunch of facilities available to use, such as compost toilets, a communal kitchen with fresh running water, solar lights and gas cooker, an undercover deck area, hot showers, and a cedar barrel hot tub (refer to the extras section for hot tub use!). We also have a small stream on the property, with a little waterhole for plunging in and are surrounded by native wildlife. The property blooms with native Kunzea bushes, wattles, native cherries and various varieties of eucalyptus. WildWing is also our home, so we have our own set up, on a different section of the property. This means that we are nearby if needed, but that we all have our own space on the property :). There is a beautiful large fresh water river and waterhole just down the road (15 minute walk, or 2 minute drive), and aside from the surf beach down the front, we are also only a 10-15 minute drive from a bunch of other beautiful and popular surf beaches on the east coast. The whole area is great for fishing, boating, surfing, bike riding, walking and short hikes. We are a 10 minute drive from Falmouth, a 25 minute drive from the St Helens mountain bike trails, a 30 minute drive from Bicheno & Douglas Apsley National Park, a 45 minute drive from the infamous Bay of Fires and an hours drive from the Freycinet National Park. We are passionate about outdoor living and supporting the natural environment and have created WildWing with the intention to support others to have unique and beautiful experiences in nature, while caring for the land they inhabit.

Caravan parks near St Helens guide

Overview

As one of the largest towns along Tasmania's east coast, St. Helens makes a strategic starting point for a caravan road trip. Drive your camper over to the Bay of Fires, where you can park your campervan by secluded beaches and coastal hiking trails, head to St. Helens Point Conservation Area, where the nearby campground has powerless sites suitable for motorhomes and caravans, or check into a holiday park or caravan park on the cusp of the city, where you'll find full hookups and plenty of amenities. Caravan camping means you can dodge the summer crowds and explore the east coast through all seasons, and the most popular route is the epic 176-kilometre Great Eastern Drive. Stop along the way to catch some waves along the Surf Coast, cruise and kayak in Freycinet National Park, or spot kangaroos and wallabies at Mt. William national park.
