🚧 Temporary Access Notice Please note that our gravel access road can become slippery and is unsuitable for 2WD vehicles in wet weather. If rain is forecast, we recommend 4WD access only, or get in touch ahead of arrival so we can assist with parking options or alternative arrangements. Thanks for your understanding while we continue to improve the track! Ladybug Camping is a brand-new, park-like private campground offering a unique and peaceful escape in Oldina, Tasmania. Set among waterfalls, bubbling creeks, and towering blackwood trees, it’s the perfect retreat for families, couples, and groups looking to unwind in nature. The grounds have a spacious, open feel—more like a bushland park than a traditional campground—while still offering privacy and tranquility. Nestled in a sheltered valley, the campground is naturally protected from the wind, making even less-than-perfect days feel pleasant for camping. You might spot a platypus gliding through the creek, Tasmania’s giant freshwater crayfish beneath the rocks, or plenty of pademelons grazing at dusk. Each campsite includes a picnic table and a perfectly placed firepit—great for meals, campfire chats, or stargazing under the clear Tassie sky. Whether you're exploring forest trails or simply enjoying the peaceful setting, Ladybug Camping invites you to experience the magic of the Tasmanian bush in comfort and style. We’re ideally located for day trips and local adventures. Visit the stunning Table Cape Tulip Farm (in season), explore the walking tracks and lookouts of Dip Falls and the Big Tree Reserve, or head to Boat Harbour Beach for a swim in crystal-clear waters. You’ll also find charming cafes, farm gates, and local markets nearby in Wynyard and surrounds. Be sure to explore our unique campsite options—some feature special touches like an outdoor cinema, ambient lighting, or even a tree swing to delight the young and young-at-heart. Every site has its own charm, so take your time to find the one that suits your style of stay.

You absolutely must make sure your campfire is fully extinguished before you leave. Please check "My Trips" (in your profile) for directions once confirmed.

The site is in a simple, level grassed paddock situated within easy access off a country road, in Mowbanna. 10 minutes up the road is Dip Falls and The Big Tree. Along the way you will pass Blue Hills Honey Farm and The Colony Cafe (well worth the calories!). Back down the road towards the highway is the Millicent Valley walking trail and once back to the highway junction you can walk along several long, sandy beaches or head east to find Rocky Cape National Park with spectacular hiking tracks, swimming and fishing spots. Pets welcome. Campfires permitted, BYO wood or please just come and see us and we can organise some wood for you.

A larger grassed block with beautiful trees backing onto forestry. There is plenty of space, and good access for most vans. We accept one booking at a time, meaning you have the whole space to yourselves! Well-behaved pets are welcome too!

Peace, happiness, and relaxation are all Within Reach. The site is for self-contained campers only, who can bring their own camp toilet, and take all waste when they go.

It was my second time at Aaron and Amanda's. I had the whole place to myself and enjoyed the peace and tranquility. I appreciate the effort Aaron and Amanda have put into this campsite and would not hesitate to recommend it as a must-visit site.

I contacted Peter and Kim after seeing a photo on their website of a tiny, rare blue mushroom called Pixie’s Parasol. I have been fungi spotting for almost 10 years without finding any so asked if I could visit their gorgeous piece of paradise for a day in the hope of seeing one. Peter was so very kind and helpful, greeting me (and my dog) on arrival, showing us the stunning forest and eventually leading us to a moss-covered fallen tree adorned with the tiny blue gems. It was exquisite being in the cool, green forest, soaking up the ancient vibes and serenity. Thank you Peter for your generosity and warm welcome.

We had a lovely stay at this quaint campsite. It’s clear the hosts have put a lot of care into creating a welcoming space — from the tin of marshmallows and card games, to the fairy lights strung up around the site that gave it a magical feel in the evening. The firewood bundle we purchased was generous (definitely good value), and it made for a great night around the campfire. The hosts checked in on us just enough to make sure we had what we needed without intruding — really appreciated that balance. A perfect little spot to slow down, unwind, and enjoy nature with a few thoughtful touches that made it feel extra special. Would definitely come back.

Beautiful spot down by the river, amongst the trees. Peaceful and relaxing. The added bonus of a hot shower is a real kicker in winter. Only 15 minutes to Penguin means you can duck out for anything forgotten or a bite to eat. We will be back.

photos don't do this place justice - it's wonderful. Lovely campsite, separated into 5 sections. paddock 1 is an individual site, paddock 2 has 3 sites (closest to the kids playground), paddock 3 is next to the river, paddock 4-5 is next to the river and floating pontoon + communal fireplace. Fire pits provided for each site. Extremely spacious and well cared for. No facilities so need to be fully self contained. Fairy lights scattered around the place for some added ambiance. Aaron was lovely. Really pleasant stay, thanks!

Camping in Rocky Cape National Park guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure at Rocky Cape National Park, where scenic walks lead you through diverse landscapes teeming with wildlife and cultural significance. Traverse coastal heath, delve into mysterious caves, and ascend to panoramic lookouts. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or seeking a leisurely stroll, the park's network of trails caters to all. After a day of exploration, unwind at one of the serene campgrounds nestled within this Tasmanian treasure.

Notable campgrounds

  • Burgess Cove: A tranquil retreat offering easy access to the park's coastal walks and picnic facilities.
  • Sisters Beach: Immerse yourself in nature at this campground, a perfect base for exploring the Inland Track and nearby caves.
  • Boat Harbour: Camp amid the coastal charm, with proximity to the park's eastern attractions and Sisters Beach.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early, especially during peak seasons, to secure your preferred campsite.
  • Consider mid-week stays for better availability and a quieter experience.
  • Keep an eye on cancellations for last-minute opportunities.
  • Explore nearby camping options if your first choice is fully booked.

When to go

The best time to visit Rocky Cape National Park is during the warmer months, from October to April, when the weather is ideal for hiking and exploring. Winter can be wet and windy, making some tracks less accessible. Always check the local weather and park alerts before planning your trip.

Know before you go

  • Check for any park alerts or closures before your visit.
  • Wear sturdy footwear and carry weather-appropriate clothing for changeable conditions.
  • Ensure you have a valid parks pass for entry.
  • Respect the Aboriginal heritage sites and adhere to signage and guidelines.
  • Facilities include picnic areas, toilets, and boat ramps; plan accordingly for your comfort.

Explore, Enjoy. We did :-)
What an amazing place to visit! Good access road with only a few kilometres of well maintained gravel road. The rocky cliffs meet Bass Strait dramatically with gorgeous beaches filling the void between the lines of rocky protrusions. The rich Indigenous history adds an extra dimension to the experience. Enjoyable short walks cap off this fabulous experience.
