Old Maydena Oval

20 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · New Norfolk, TAS
*With respect, please read and understand booking details. Please reach out to me with any questions!* Situated in the quiet town of Maydena, the old oval property runs along the Tyenna River, home to platypus and freshwater fish. The town itself is home to the famous Maydena Bike Park and within 10 minutes drive to Mt Field National Park on the east side and a beautiful 1 hour drive to Strathgordon on the west side. Walking up Junee Road you will find walks to the local caves and other stunning hikes. The oval is right next to the Railtrack Riders who provide visitors with access to pedal-powered railway carts. The camping here is for self-contained campers only, those that have their own toilet and take all waste when they go. Please no ground fires as they leave burn patches in the grass. Weather permitting (no fire bans), happy for you to have a firepit as long as it is elevated off of the ground (brazier) and leaves no trace.

Cluny Lagoon

4 sites · RVs, Tents60 acres · Ouse, TAS
Take the opportunity to enjoy this very special place on the lake to pitch a tent or park your van by the yurt. You can lay back and star gaze the myriad of stars, and even take a jump off the pontoon into the beautiful cool waters, or bring your kayaks and paddle the shores. Take the opportunity to use as a base to visit the Florentine valley, Mt Field and many other nearby attractions. The tranquillity and privacy will leave you a wonderful feeling of peace. This is a wonderful place to unwind, take a swim with your dog and just hang out with the very special access to the lagoon. The yurt has been there for about 14 years and we have hosted many different groups such as rowing events, parties with bands, bike riding groups and horse riding, amongst other enjoyable activities. There are no amenities here, campers must be self contained and leave no trace. I will consider opening more sites only for single groups on application.

Little Gem Campground

1 site · RV, Tent1 acre · Gormanston, TAS
Little Gem Campground in Gormanston Tasmania is a small but beautiful 1/4 acre of bush. There is the gorgeous bubbling Linda Creek head waters on your left as you enter the property. It feels so much bigger with no fences and bush on two sides. Pets are welcome, but please remember there are no fences and all pet waste needs to be taken away. The property is only suitable for self contained campers as there are no facilities. There is a public dump point opposite the intersection of Bent St and Lyell HWY Queenstown. There are many attractions near by, such as: - 10min drive to Queenstown - Iron Blow Lookout 2km away - Only 7min to the stunning Lake Burbury - 12min to Thureau Hills concrete boat ramp on Lake Burbury - 4.8km to the famous Mt Owen MTB Trails As the property is mostly bush, there is nowhere for large vehicles to turn around, so it is best in that case to back in.
