This campsite on the Tasman Peninsula is adored for its spaciousness and tranquility, where guests can unwind to the sound of distant waves and the hoot of owls. The hosts, Stephen and Janelle, are often highlighted for their friendliness and valuable local tips. Visitors appreciate the natural surroundings, with frequent sightings of local wildlife like wallabies and bandicoots. While most reviews are positive, there are occasional mentions of obstructed views due to trees and uneven ground.
Summary AI-generated from real reviews
Perfectly placed campground on the Tasman Peninsula, just above Pirates Bay.
What we loved most was the two camp sites had plenty of space, and we didn't feel like we were crowded in. Easy access to each site, long drop toilet available, and a lovely area to explore.
Cubed (retro coffee van) is a short walk away for a lazy start to Saturday and Sunday mornings. The 'best bang for buck' bushwalk to Waterfall Bluff is an easy 10 minute drive, and thoroughly recommended.
We took our own firewood however the hosts can arrange this if you don't have your own supply.
We fell asleep each night to the distant roar of waves, with the occasional hoot-hoot of an owl. Other visiting night-life included pademelons and bandicoots.
Our hosts provided sound local knowledge, and we will definitely be back again.

We loved our stay at Eaglehawk Neck, such a relaxing spot snd coffee up the road at the lookout was an added bonus.

We enjoyed the lovely view and the tranquillity of the area. Our hosts were communicative and we enjoyed this campsite - suitable to our camper-van. Thanks,

Gorgeous spot, great views, flat surface. Hosts are super accommodating, they went over and above.
Fires permitted, toilet.
We can highly recommend.
Thanks so much for having us.

Quiet and peaceful spot with a far off view between the trees of the cliffs in the distance, a beautiful beach just down the hill and a drop toilet provided (we had our own bathroom in our camper so didn’t use it). We bought some wood and it was a very generous amount! Stephen was very friendly and had lots of good tips for walks to do nearby (we were there to walk Cape Huay). It was lovely!

Nice spot, but the view was more obstructed by the tree line than expected. The lack of a fire starter in the wood kit was a bit underwhelming. Clearer signposting of the two sites would make arrival easier.

I arrive around 4 pm .been driving non stop since 6 am ..and it was an was accident on the road ,.and was disappointed as the picture on the booking does not reflect at all the site , no sea view, ( the picture on the site is off a drone !!! ) very deceptive ..and the site where I could see a glimpse through the tree of sea , the man said I could not park there ....the place he indicate for my car was too sleep confortably in my car ( camping equipped)..I left stay away and try to find an other place and to recharge my phone ...anyway , I email the person I will not be staying at thier property..they did not reply . ..I find a better and cheaper place !!! As I ask a person in the street as I was lost without my phone google map .. Wow , full kitchen , , with electricity , hot showers and proper toilet , just 2 doors up , very friendly place " the diving center " so friendly with Alpacas and chickens .... for only 15 dollars a night ...very disappointed by hipcamp , not worst the money when ravelling alone and pictures and site very inaccurate....No happy with hipcamp ..

We had the most amazing time at this campsite. Our hosts were so welcoming and helped us pick the best spot to set up in order to get the best view. And, boy were they not wrong! The setting was romantic, secluded and comfortable and both my partner and I were commenting on how we had never seen so many stars before. We opted for a wheelbarrow of firewood and enjoyed a beautiful campfire. Saw some sweet little animals and just relished in the stillness. We will definitely be back to this incredible site. Thankyou Stephen and Janelle for such a special time.

Stephen was incredibly welcoming and very knowledgeable about the surroundings! This was our first night in Tasmania and we had a very good first impression! We went for a quick walk to Pirates beach which was beautiful and even saw penguins at a spot Stephen recommended later on.
Would reccommend 10/10

We arrived pretty late and Stephen greeted us. We came on a hunch of an Aurora and Stephen even called at 4am when it started to make sure we wouldn't miss it :) We only stayed a short night but would love to come back again.
