Here, you can set up anywhere within its bounds; pitching your tent among the trees or along the river is perfect for a truly immersive experience. An approximately 3-acre clearing is also available by the river. For easier access directly from the road, The Little Paddock is an excellent choice. While suitable for smaller vehicles, it's also ideal for larger caravans. This area offers approximately 5 acres of clearing right beside the river. Both paddocks are conveniently located just before the bridge and provide ample open space for outdoor activities like frisbee or cricket.

The surrounding area boasts popular hiking and mountain biking trails. The Leven River itself is a highlight, offering some of the best trout fishing in North West Tasmania. You'll also find perfect spots for kayaking, along with private river beaches where you can relax, paddle, swim, or enjoy a picnic. Access to the property is via a very scenic 4km, well-maintained gravel road that winds downhill to the base of the valley. Important Information No facilities are provided on-site.

We stayed at campsite 2 for my partners birthday, despite our extremely late arrival the communication between me and the host was constant and clear, he had no issues with us arriving past our previously discussed time. Upon arrival there was a beautiful set up with marshmallows and a roaster, a sign for my partners birthday and some flowers. We got to set up our tent under beautiful festoon lights strung above, and were also able to prepurchase some firewood to have the pit nice and toasty. We also added the feature of the outdoor cinema, which was a game changer! The host had a lot of movies preloaded onto the usb, and even asked if my partner had a favourite for her birthday. The nearby walks are simply stunning and the waterfall is a short walk around the corner from the campsite. Absolutely stunning location - just be prepared to drive on some loose gravel if you’re in a smaller car! Will absolutely be visiting ladybug campgrounds again! 11/10

What a beautiful place to camp! We didn’t have a soul around else and the site was massive with chairs and table, fire pit and festoon lights. There was a couple of waterfalls near by so want to sleep with the sounds of running water. Thanks Peter.

We loved our stay at Lady Bug Camp. What a uniquely beautiful setting, it’s paradise! Nestled on a picturesque property packed with nature. The waterfalls & cascading water course was stunning & peaceful and the birdlife was abundant. The lovely young couple made us very welcome even though we arrived late without a booking. They are both working very hard to establish this splendid property & we can’t recommend it enough.

Awesome spot by the Blythe River. We arrived late in the evening and the host still came out to greet us, which was really nice. The toilet and shower was a big win for us which saved us having to use the fresh water in our camper. The river is literally right next to the campground, giving easy access to running water. Had a memorable night by the river! Greatly recommended👍🏻

What a great place to unwind after the trip over on the SOT. We stayed for 3 days, explored the area and also relaxed around the dam on the property. We saw the platypus playing each day and caught a rainbow trout. Steve was awesome and welcomed us. Put this one on your list.

Lovely babbling brook to camp next to on a grassy large block, with plenty of room for other campers. Campfires allowed which was much appreciated, as it was really cold and wet the weekend we were there. We loved watching the horses in the nearby paddock get excited when their feed was delivered. We were very happy to find this hipcamp at short notice with a shower & toilet, as the pump in our van broke during the long weekend. Easy self access into the property.

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.
