As the site is teeming with wildlife including the barred bandicoot, we don't allow dogs.
There are no facilities on the block apart from a long drop dunny (byo paper) and a small supply of non-potable water so you will need to be self-sufficient though there are good meals at the nearby Lufra Hotel and excellent coffee just up the road at the legendary Cubed Coffee van.
We only make provision for two campsites so you'll never be crowded.

Pitch your tent or park your set up on our beautiful grassy hilltop campsite overlooking the South Arm Peninsula and Mt Wellington in the distance. You'll enjoy good access to Mays Point surf break and the Clarence Coastal Trail just a few mins away with walking tracks to Cremorne and Lauderdale along the coast.
The camping area has a communal fire pit, access to fresh water and power in our large shed if needed, and a table tennis table. We are on tank water, so please be mindful of this. And please drive slowly and be mindful of treading lightly on the land.
We also offer a 5m lotus belle stargazer tent, situated at the very top of the property, nestled amongst the native trees and with water views, it has a luxurious queen-sized bed with beautiful linens and is a short walk away from the walking tracks to the beach.

Dogs are welcome as long as they are friendly with other dogs and people, and can be trusted not to escape to the next-door sheep property (beware as farmers can be ruthless with dogs!). They will need to be supervised and restrained (tied up or placed in our closed-in yard at night so they don’t disturb wallabies and other wildlife).
We love meeting new people and are passionate about our beautiful property so we can’t wait to share it with you!

The campground has easy access for large vehicles with a turning circle, suitable for people with two-wheel drive cars, large cars towing caravans and boats, not for very large caravans ( a guest found it too challenging to get their car plus 9 meter caravan into the site) .

Cape Raoul Escape
2 sites · Lodging, RVs40 acres · Stormlea, TAS
Near the entrance to Cape Raoul NP and Shipstern Bluff, this is 40 private and picturesque acres of farmland with two sites.
The first is suitable for self-sufficient stays if you have a small campervan or camping. Not suitable for caravans or bigger motorhomes due the steep narrow driveway.
There is power available on the switchboard approx 20m from the most level part of the pad next to the uninhabited tiny home.
I suggest cautiously reversing down the approx 50 driveway to take advantage of the stunning view. The area near the water tank is the most level.
The second site is a beautiful Self Contained Tiny Home.
See the stunning Sea Cliffs of Cape Raoul which is part of the world famous Three Capes Walk and it's also close to Port Arthur, The Remarkable Cave and McHenry's Distillery.
A beautiful place to stay for a night while you explore this beautiful area.
NOTE, while the view is amazing this is a very hilly block and dangerous if you're not comfortable reversing your van.
