Weekend Trip to Tranquillity Central

Easy access to site upon arrival. I had a few questions prior to booking and it was very easy to contact owner and have all my questions responded to very quickly. We all loved being so close to the beach able to hear the waves crashing front the campsite was quite relaxing. We will definitely be coming back for our next trip to paradise beach. Happy campers 😃

1 night at Snowy River Station

Peaceful location, we caught a beautiful sunset. Lucky to have the place to ourselves.

6 nights at Lake Corringle Camp Park

Good open area and with other campers around was secluded. Snowy river and the beach a stones throw away. Great spot would come back. Host was very nice!!

Weekend Trip to Snowy River Station

Great spot to explore this region. Friendly host and plenty of space.

Weekend Trip to Snowy River Station

loved this spot!!! massive space so even though there were a few other campers you couldn’t even hear anyone else. will be back again very soon! ❤️❤️💕💕

4 nights at Snowy River Station

The property was perfect for a few days of R&R There was plenty of space, and even with 20 other vans there, we felt it was still very private. The cows, horses and alpacas roamed the paddocks, but kept to themselves. It was a great spot to use as base camp to do day trips to Orbost, Marlo, Cape Conran and Lakes Entrance. We had a brilliant time and would go again.

Weekend Trip to Snowy River Station

Great camp spot, lots of room to roam. If you want to spend time at Corringle beach or river then this is the perfect spot.

4 nights at Snowy River Station

Lovely place to stay. So relaxing and quiet, loved listening to the waves crash from over the hill. The grass was so lovely. The owner was such a nice guy, popped over to see us and make sure everything was right, he let us know things around the area ect Would highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Snowy River Frontage Great Fishing

We had an absolutely awesome time at Andrew’s campsite! The location was spectacular—beautiful, peaceful, and perfectly secluded. It felt like our own private slice of nature. One of the highlights for us was that our dog could roam freely and safely, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We caught a bunch of fish, soaked in the serene surroundings, and truly unplugged from the hustle and bustle. The only thing worth noting is that the bridge leading to the campsite is a bit dodgey at the moment, but Andrew and his family were there to help us cross safely. They mentioned they’re actively working on repairs, which shows how much they care about the guest experience. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a genuine, peaceful camping escape with great hosts!

Weekend Trip to Snowy River Frontage Great Fishing

The whole family said the same thing what an amazing place to camp on the river. Fishing from the time we woke up! Andrew is a legend, great to deal with and so friendly and accommodating. We’re working out when we can book our next trip! 10/10

Weekend Trip to Tranquillity Central

Perfectly sized campsite !! Nice and secluded with great amenities, loved hearing the ocean from the tent too😊

Weekend Trip to Snowy River Station

Big open space that's is perfect for star gazing, sunset and sunrise watching. Proximity to the beach is great too. It was very popular at the time and yet there was still plenty of room. Great spot indeed.

4 nights at Beachside Escape

Great communication, excellent location, good spot at the rear of the block for my setup - SUV tailgate reversed into one side of a 3x3m marquee

Weekend Trip to Snowy River Station

Weekend Trip to Snowy River Station

I had an absolutely incredible time camping at Corringle Beach and Snowy River Farm. The area is stunning and incredibly spacious, perfect space to unwind. The peacefulness of the location is something truly special. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of ocean waves and birdsong was pure bliss. Was such a perfect experience I decided to extend my stay. The host was so lovely and really made the experience that much better. Will definitely be coming back! 😊

Weekend Trip to Eagle Point Caravan Park

Great location with good camping facilities that were clean!

1 night at Eagle Point Caravan Park

Very nice location with some decent walks nearby. Well maintained facilities.

Weekend Trip to Lake Corringle Camp Park

Stu was around when we arrived. He was lovely and we had plenty of space to choose from. Grassy paddock was mowed and clean. But FYI mozzies were bad. Suited our needs perfectly otherwise.

Weekend Trip to Tranquillity Central

Enjoyable stay! It is a residential 'bush block' within the small Paradise Beach community. It's easy to access through either of the two lockable gates. We opted to have the back of the caravan to the neighbour's house, and open up out to the rest of the block which provided some privacy. The photos show the block quite green, at this time (end of summer, start of autumn) the central common area of the block is a bit of a mix between sand and dirt, the grass having left long ago. The back half of the block is beautifully grassed over, and has a heap of shade provided by the trees on the block. When the sun is out it provides an amazing escape and is really nice to sit under and read a book. If you have a swag or tent this would be the ideal area to setup. There's some small water tanks onsite, and there's plenty of firewood and a bbq, we didn't use either of those as the weather was quite warm. Walk to the beach is really nice, 50m up the street, over a ditch, through a 'bush tunnel' and out on to the beach. It's a really fun walk, our kids loved it and spotted the rabbits running around as we went to the beach. It provided a great base to setup and explore more of the area, including Golden Beach and heading over for swims at Loch Sport. If you're self-contained, it's an ideal spot away from the busier end of Golden Beach that seems to fill out over long weekends. Overall value, location, cleanliness, ease of access, communication from the hosts, 10/10.

Weekend Trip to Eagle Point Caravan Park

Being lake side was great but there was no flat ground on the site so not premium in that regard. The tree cover was good and amenities were fine. The worst part was the noise after 10pm, both nights we were kept up till midnight and no one enforced the rules to shut them up.

We offer sites for self-contained campers only and there is no services, pets are welcome. Please note - All the area that has been slashed in the front paddocks you can camp in and spread out.Beach access is straight over the road from the front gate. You can lite fires and firewood is for sale at the farm gate store honesty box further down the road from the gate you enter if you don't bring your own.Escape the modern tourist world and in a pristine, undeveloped old country farming area right on the coast near the mouth of the famous Snowy River. Amazing fishing in both the River and Corringle Beach, with many different species caught at different times of the year. Enjoy the 40-kilometre deserted beach, sun baking (even nude if that's your thing), and swimming, but care must be taken (unpatrolled surf beach). Romantic sunsets with no one but the odd seal and sounds of the waves to disturb you. Beach fire at night is something special to do. The beach track is across from the front gate, there is no beach sign from the road because the public will then use the track which is only for Hipcampers and you wont enjoy the deserted beach. Call me if you cant find the track, but most people have not had a problem. This walking access is steep, easier tracks can be driven to down the road.Or take a dip in the river further down the road, and explore the waterways, with many birds; black swans in the lakes next to camp, plus kangaroos, wombats, emu and deer. There is a boat ramp just down the road to explore the river system. Perfect for water sports, and with fish cleaning tables at the wharf. Go by boat to the Marlo Hotel from the wharf straight over the river.Orbost is 15 minutes drive and has a supermarket, hotel, bottle shop and other conveniences.
