Conveniently located between Launceston and Devonport, Buckbill Banks Camping offers a beautiful, level camping area overlooking Quamby Brook Creek. The 35-acre property offers views of Quamby Bluff, and various options to explore and relax. Find yourself a nice quiet spot, where you can enjoy peace and quiet. Although we take several bookings at once, you are guaranteed a secluded nook, there is plenty of space. There is a woodfired hot tub beside the creek, which all campers have access to. Imagine star gazing from the hot tub of an evening, or enjoying a morning soak whilst keeping your eyes peeled for the resident platypus in their natural habitat! Firewood is provided for the hot tub, you may buy wood on site for your individual campfires. The hot Tub is not for wild parties, but to relax and view the native wild life, quietly watch the platypus in their natural environment. Please note, we accept one camper trailer/caravan per booking. If you are traveling in a group with multiple caravans, you will need to book multiple sites - but will still be able to camp together.

Caravanning with dog and kids

We loved our stay at Duckbills. Perfect for our family and all the things I love; creeks, green grass, soaring gumtrees, fires allowed and even a Hot Tub! Nice and close to towns for supplies and lovely walks and spaces for the kids to play soccer and ride their bikes. Farm animals and lamb feeding also a nice extra! We will be back.

Bliss

Our family of 4 had the best 2 night stay. We all enjoyed the hot tub and the sound of the river while going off to sleep was exactly what we all needed. Tamika and Bert are the perfect hosts. Giving you space but there if needed or to heat the bath up. Thanks again guys

Peaceful Escape at Duckbill Banks

Duckbill Banks is the perfect spot for those who appreciate nature and simplicity. The peaceful outlook along the creek made for a truly relaxing escape. The hot tub was a fantastic bonus—nothing beats soaking in warm water while taking in the serene surroundings. Tamika and Bert, the hosts, were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. Tamika suggested a cold plunge in the creek, and the experience didn’t disappoint—it was invigorating and added a fun twist to our stay. We can’t wait to return!
