Black Cottage Farm is situated on a tranquil 13.5 acres of beautiful pasture that we cut hay from each year. We offer a powered site near to the main residence and a private unpowered site in our paddock which has a fantastic view, both sites require campers to have their own toilet. There's plenty of room at the unpowered site for kiddos to run. Lilydale is predominately dairy and cattle country with several vineyards nearby including Jansz, Clover Hill and Pipers Brook to name a few. We are just a two minute drive or 20 minute walk from Lilydale township and centrally located to lots of activities and sightseeing. Activites include hiking Mount Arthur, visiting Lilydale Falls, Hollybank Adventures for zip lining, high ropes and Segways and Derby is an hour away for all your mountain biking trails. There is also fishing, swimming and boating at Bridport. Launceston is an easy 20 minutes drive. If you are lucky whilst here you may get to see the wedge tail eagles that call Mount Arthur home along with lots of other wild life including wallabies, wombats, possums and an abundance of bird life. I'm a private, quiet person who works from home therefore I am around should you have any questions, but will leave you in peace to enjoy the space privately. Whilst pets are allowed, there are some restrictions as we have our own pet poodle here. Please see site details for more info.

Great views, amazing host!
The views over the mountains and valleys were breathtaking and the farm was ideally located so close to the lilydale township. It is also a perfect position to park up and explore the North and North East region of tassie. What was really amazing was the host Mel. She made us feel like we were home for the entire 2 week stay, and we would highly recommend this hipcamp stay.

Camping in Tassie Paradise
We spent 2 weeks at Melinda's Black Cottage property and had the best stay imaginable. Melinda is an amazing host and treated us like family. The farm animals are delightful and we were lucky enough to be there to see the new baby chickens. The views over the Lilydale mountain ranges and valleys are spectacular. This is a great place base yourself to see the North East corner of Tasmania and we highly recommend this Hipcamp.

Great spot! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Welcoming & helpful host, well maintained and very clean campground with easy access in and out. Fire pit & Fire wood on site to enjoy marshmallows under the stars, our kids loved riding their bikes up and down the banks. A safe private place to leave the van for the day and explore the surrounds, we loved our 2 nights here. Thank you for opening up your backyard to us we loved waking up to the beautiful views of the frost over the rolling hills of Lilydale.

Everything about staying here has been perfect. Mel is the most welcoming host, greeted us to make sure we were comfortably set up, and offered us some amazing produce from her garden for us to take on our travels. This property is a short drive from Launceston but much worth the trip to experience the serenity of Lilydale and the beautiful nature that surrounds.

Camping beside the apple tree
We had an awesome time staying at black cottage farm. Melinda was lovely and introduced us to Lamington the lamb. We picked some apples from the front tree and enjoyed the stunning sunset. Was a great base while we explored Launceston.
