What an absolutely lovely piece of paradise! Gorgeous location surrounded by forest, close to beautiful places and heritage sites. Has a nice camp kitchen, hot shower, toilet and fantastic communal space with fire. Level pads are great with magic view down to the water. Loved the history chat and welcome by Marian. Will be staying again 👍

My 4th stay at beautiful Semaphore Farm. So relaxing and peaceful. I had a new dog and used the extensive bushwalking trails for bonding and exercise. This property is exceptional and Marion is an attentive and excellent host. Thankyou

Large grassed fields with a choice of pads or open field camp areas; some spaces have views to the water. Very convenient location for visiting the Port Arthur Historic and other local sites; distilleries, chocolatier and day hikes.

Great location, friendly hosts and awesome shower. Not a huge site but if you’re happy with bush style living it’s perfect for a short stay to see Port Arthur.

On our second night it rained so the camp kitchen was a god send to get out of the rain which was very roomy. There was an excellent gas shower and Barry was very friendly and welcomed us on arrival and gave us our choice of where we wanted to go, he was very accommodating would definitely visit again.

Mariana was such a wonderful host. We loved hearing about the history of the farm and how it was built and used by family first.
You’re an amazing business women and should be proud of your accomplishments!
It was beautiful walking down to the beach at sunset. The campsite is very basic but everything we needed.

Camping at Semaphore Farm was a very pleasant experience. Although we only stayed for one night, the instructions were clear, and everything was explained to us upon arrival. Communication was smooth and friendly overall. The camp is located in a beautiful setting and has everything you need — great facilities including a clean toilet, shower, and a cozy kitchen/common area. I definitely recommend it!

Location to Port Aethur was fantastic.
The rustic camp kitchen was very user friendly. Great hot shower.
The long drop composting toilet was very welcome and it did not smell.
Plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy this lovely farm. My dog had a ball.
Marion is a marvellous host and thanks to her phone call got to see an aurora.
Would highly recommend ✨️

The site is in a fantastic location really close to the Port Arthur historic site, a stunning little beach and the Nubeenna shops for groceries etc.
The large rustic camp kitchen/shelter area would get alot of use in bad weather and the basic toilet and shower facilities make it accessible to campers who aren't self contained.
It's set on a rolling green hillside with a number of spacious level terraces carved into the hill to camp on. When it's quiet the spot is lovely but the terraces are quite close together so when the site reaches the advertised capacity (or more when we were there) it tends to squish people together a bit too closely. Despite the overall site being so large the slope of the hill doesn't allow people to realistically use much of the area other than the terraces to spread out.
All in all a great spot, and with the bonus of being dog friendly, but just be prepared to have neighbours.

This is a great spot to explore Port Arthur and surrounds. A
Little steepish but level pads and a lovely big grassed area at the bottom.
Amenities are good and clean.
Adriana is a lovely person who has great stories of her families beginnings and the history behind this property.
