**Please note that it's $20 per person per night. Small farm and vineyard at Macquarie Plains in the Upper Derwent Valley, southern Tasmania. The property is 380m from the junction of the Lyell Highway and the Gordon River Road. It has 450m absolute river frontage on the River Derwent (no riparian reserve). The river here is freshwater, potable and a renowned trout water, (licence required). Three kilometres from the village of Gretna. 4WD Preferred. 2WD need to assess river access. Campers need all own amenities and leave no trace. Dog friendly but please see rules, we have livestock and so dogs need to be well controlled at all times. Campfires permitted when restrictions aren't in place (see rules around campfires). Due to hydro generation activity, the river may slowly rise or fall up to 1m (often without rain) so please be careful around the water.

        Ryelands Farm & Vineyard Camping offers a picturesque camping experience right by the Derwent River, providing a serene and tranquil environment. The host, Derek, is consistently praised for being welcoming and informative, enhancing the overall stay with personal touches like firewood and even his own wine. Visitors appreciate the spacious, private sites and the opportunity to engage with nature, from swimming in the river to observing local wildlife. While the site is predominantly praised, guests should ensure they are self-contained, as facilities may be limited.

        Great little spot for a night. We had a dip in the river and just relaxed. Heaps of birdlife.

        This place is a must when passing through the area or exploring Mt Field national park and Gorden dam. Derek is a tremendous host , full of information on the area and Tasmania in general. We had as much free fire wood as we wanted, water available and a beautiful grassed area over looking the Derwent river. If you like wine, grab a bottle or two of Derek’s reds he makes on the property, and for a hot tip ask him to give you a tour of his vineyard. Thank you Derek for a wonderful 5 night stay. Hopefully we will be back in a few weeks.
