Camp and fish just a stonesthrow from one of Tasmania's most stunning natural landscapes, Cradle Mountain. Here you'll find nature at its best, just 10 minutes drive from the Cradle Mountain Visitors centre, the perfect base for discovering this magical area. Our campsites are on scenic, levelled areas overlooking the large dam and bushland, with grassed areas ideal for tents and camper-vans, and a portaloo a short walk away. The block is a natural timber and grassland block, with devils, quolls and wombats also residing here. We have one powered site available, and multiple unpowered sites. There is a lovely walking track around the dams periphery. Feed fish from the edge, spot platypus frolicking about, and keep your eye out for Peacocks wandering the property too. Whilst you are welcome to bring your dog with you, please ensure they don't harass the wildlife.

We had such a great time here, beautiful part of Tassie. Initially booked 2 nights and stayed 4 nights. Scott was a brilliant host, best toilets and super clean and well maintained. One of the best we’ve stayed at. Cheers John and Penny.

Great place to stay close to Cradle Mountain. Can camp on the edge of the dam and have a fire in the fire pits provided.

We really enjoyed staying at Scott’s place, the site is peaceful and there are lots of animals around L, especially at dusk. The facilities are basic, but it’s made up by the peaceful location and closeness to Cradle Mountain.
