Nick's Nook offers a spacious and well-maintained camping experience close to Coles Bay and Bicheno, ideal for exploring Freycinet National Park. Campers appreciate the privacy and tranquility, with sites being large and well-separated, providing a sense of seclusion. Wildlife encounters with wallabies and other animals add to the charm of the stay. Though overwhelmingly positive, one review did mention a lack of privacy due to closely packed sites, which seems to be an outlier compared to the majority of feedback.

Lomandra
A great quiet place in the bush perfectly placed to explore Freycinet National Park and all the peninsula has to offer. The campsites are flat and well spaced out to give lots of room from any neighbours. We were visited at a distance by a few wallabies during our stay on Lomandra. The road in is narrow and a little bumpy due to tree roots but we didn’t have any issues getting our 19ft van into the property. Taj was quick to respond to my question before arrival.

Roo Tail
We loved our stay at Nick’s Nook on the site Rootail. The sites are huge and quite level. It was a great place to base ourselves to explore Coles Bay, Bicheno and do several of the walks at the Freycinet National Park. We’d looked at several of the free camp options in the area beforehand but everybody was crammed into them. Taj was extremely responsive and responded quickly to our booking request and other communications. We loved the privacy, peacefulness and the security we had during our stay. Each camp site has a fire pit, which we unfortunately didn’t get the chance to light during our stay because it was windy, but we loved the regular visits from the wallabies each evening. We would definitely recommend Nick’s Nook as a great place to stay when visiting this area.

Lomandra
Lomandra was the perfect (very large) site and such a great spot to base yourself for visiting frecinet and Cole’s bay with a dog. The site was beautifully kept and cleared with clear designated areas. We were lucky and no other groups were there while we were, so we had the entire site to ourselves, the kids loved riding around on their bikes and the dog was able to be off leash with us. 10/10

Roo Tail
Nick's Nook suited us well, on the very edge of Freciynet National Park. Access is good, just take it slow. No problems with overhanging branches, our 3.6m height was fine. Nice level sites, well separated and quite private. We met the landowner who was lovely. We enjoyed our neighbours, the possum and wallabies. Saw Wombat poo, but despite walking out at night, we didnt spot one. But there is always a chance. Recommended.
