What to Expect • Rugged Access: 4WD required via a private track (follow the deer fence on the left, as shown in the photo). Check conditions before arrival, as access may vary with weather. • Secluded Serenity: 100 acres of private bushland with flat camping spots near the fence line. • Stunning Views: Panoramic mountain vistas and forested horizons. • Wildlife: Spot native Tasmanian animals and birds. What to Do • Broad River: Relax or fish in its clear waters. • Cluny Lagoon: Fish at the nearby boat ramp. • Explore: Hike trails at Mount Field National Park. • Stargaze: Enjoy campfires (local restrictions apply) under clear, dark skies. Guest Tips • 4WD Essential: The terrain is rugged—see photo for track details. • Toilet: No onsite facilities; bring a portable or self-contained caravan toilet (Hipcamp policy). • Self-Sufficient: Bring your own water, food, and camping gear. • Nature Care: Follow Leave No Trace principles and pack out all waste. Why Stay A true off-grid adventure for nature lovers—tranquil, wild, and breathtakingly remote. Perfect for 4WD campers seeking solitude, stargazing, and Tasmanian wildlife encounters.The site provides ample space, with 1-2 acres of flat, shaded terrain - perfect for setting up tents, caravans, fifth wheels, or camper trailers. Nestled among native trees and sandstone cliffs, ensures a secluded wilderness experience with room to roam and relax. Plus, good news for families - kids aged 12 or below stay for free, making it an affordable adventure for all. Accessing Amenities: This off-grid retreat operates on a self-sufficient basis, with no onsite facilities. Guests must bring a portable toilet or use a self-contained caravan (per Hipcamp policy), along with water, food, and camping gear. Access to the property is via a private 4WD-only track, marked by a deer fence on the left off Dawson Road, featuring small sandy and wetland sections - drive slowly. Once at the site, flat spots under gum trees serve as ideal bases, and firewood from fallen branches is available for campfires (subject to local regulations). Accessing Activities: - Broad River: A short 2 minute walk along a clear path leads to the river, where guests can swim in the deep swimming hole (avoid when water flows rapidly), fish, or unwind by the banks. - Cluny Lagoon: A 15 minute drive takes guests to the boat ramp for fishing opportunities - bring your gear and a valid license. - Mount Field National Park: A 30-40 minute trip offers access to hiking trails, including Russell Falls, via well-marked roads from the site. - Wildlife Exploration: Guests can explore forest tracks directly from camp, looking for wallaby and deer tracks amidst native ferns. - Stargazing: Step outside your site for unobstructed views of the night sky, enhanced by campfires (local rules apply). This setup gives guests plenty of space to enjoy a true Tasmanian adventure, with all activities and self-managed amenities easily reachable by foot or 4WD.
