Finding us couldn't be easier , just turn right at the welcome to Franklin sign when driving from Huonville. Our gate has two big gum stumps as posts. With big views up the Huon Valley and over the river, this campsite will be sure to provide a great stay. The property is a 5 minute walk into the Historic town of Franklin, where there are are pubs and restaurants. We have 2 flat sites and 3 slight gradient sites, all are far apart. All sites accessible by 2wd depending on weather. There are no facilities, so the site is suitable for self contained campers only, There is dump for toilet water. The site also has drinking water water available free. Due to our children and our Alpaca on site pets must be kept on a leash. Visiting children are welcome to help our kids feed Alpaca, just ask. The property has an orchard of cherry plums, apples, pears, lemons and apricots. There are great walks and sites to see in the local area. It's possible to see Aurora from your campsite, but not guaranteed.

      Had a great time staying on Darren’s property. Lovely spot, beautiful fruit orchard that we got to pick fruit from and some cheeky alpacas! What more could you want. Would recommend staying here!

      Fantastic experience on Darren’s new Valley Vista campsite. Darren always up for a funny informative chat. Helped us with a fire pit which was perfect, and generally made us feel super welcome. Good phone coverage to make it easier to plan, and great views!!

      Friendly host, camp is walking distance to some great food establishments. A great spot to stay before we went on the ferry to Bruny Island.
