Check in after 9am you get a whole day BEFORE you camp for the night and check out by 3pm this way you get another day here and plenty of daylight to get to your next place.
This place has river flats surrounded by wilderness and is the first private property on the river, so therefor the LAST property at the end of the road before the road goes into Forestry tracks. Many would consider this place to be very remote.....to us it is close to the City only 50 minutes away over the Mountain gravel roads. If you want to travel on mostly sealed roads go through Fingal and PAST Mathinna.
It is 40 acres and we have MANY MANY free roaming animals, milking goats, ducks, chickens, cows, dogs big & tiny and a pet pig who loves a belly rub. (The dogs will get out of the way of cars so just drive ahead and the dogs will move out of your way) If you have any issues with dogs let us know in advance and we can lock them in their yard for your stay.
The property has a big house that is currently empty, this is where the flushing toilet is for you to use whilst camping if you like.
This Rustic country house is also available for hire/rent, there is hot water via a woodfire (takes up to 9 hours to heat up water $50 per wheelbarrow load of wood) with Big triangle bath and a shower for use if you book the house, (3 single beds and a few new double bed air mattresses are available for your less rugged campers who want to come but need that extra comfort or to be close to a toilet at $40 per person per night.) You are welcome to come camping anytime with a range of needs catered to. Sorry no wheelchair ramps, a single step into the house and one step into the toilet too.
Pick whatever spot you like to camp, by the river, the rocky island in the river, in the bush, just on the paddock grass anywhere. The big house is for you to use the toilet, kitchen sink and feel free to have a cold shower if you want. You can wander on the property connect with us and if you like you can help feed the animals. We are very happy to host people who love nature and enjoy organic farm life. There is NO wifi or mobile phone reception ZERO, so you can finally enjoy total tranquility.
(there is a landline telephone in the big house so you can make a call if you need to, it is a private number)

Camping near Bridport guide
Overview
Bridport is a popular small holiday town on Tasmania’s northeastern coast, about an hour’s drive northeast of Launceston. The beaches, dunes, walking tracks, fishing spots, and golf courses attract campers, especially in summer. The town is near several forest reserves and conservation areas, ideal for campers who like to get out into nature. Bridport caravan parks typically offer powered and unpowered camping sites a short distance from the beach, plus perhaps cabin rental options. Further along the coast are more camping grounds at the Waterhouse Conservation Area, Tomahawk, and beyond.
Where to go
Launceston
Tasmania’s second-largest city is an ideal base for campers wanting to be near city attractions while still being close to nature. Within the city itself you’ll find the scenic Cataract Gorge, a popular attraction. Self-catering campers should check out the Sunday markets and local produce, as Launceston is a UNESCO City of Gastronomy. As well as city caravan parks, campers can head to campgrounds beside the River Tamar or the South Esk River.
Bay of Fires Conservation Area
On the eastern coast of north-eastern Tasmania and about two hours’ drive from Bridport is one of the state’s must-visit attractions: the red lichen-covered rocks of the Bay of Fires, especially stunning next to the clear turquoise waters and white sands. You’ll find free campsites for tents, caravans, and camper-trailers in the area, which don’t even need to be pre-booked. The northern section of this conservation area is part of the Mount William National Park, where you can camp beside the beach.
Ben Lomond National Park
About 1.5 hours’ drive south of Bridport, the mountainous Ben Lomond National Park is ideal for winter visits to the area as it’s home to one of Tasmania’s two ski fields. Drive the memorable zig-zag road of Jacob’s Ladder and stay at a small campsite in the park with unpowered sites. Free camping is permitted here further than 500 metres from any roads.
When to go
While Bridport is most popular in summer, when the weather is warm and the conditions best for beach activities, seafood lovers should consider visiting during the Tassie Scallop Fiesta, held in July. Combine this with a trip to the nearby ski field at Ben Lomond for a fun winter trip. Otherwise, the warmer months are an ideal time to visit the seaside town.
