The property sits on a flat sunny 5 private acres, overlooking the beautiful Old Coal Mine Lagoon near Dennison Beach. 10 mins into Bicheno township, 30 mins to Freycinet/Coles bay. 1hr hour to St Helens/Bay of Fires. 5 mins to Dennison Beach. Enjoy the serenity of bird watching over Coal Mine Lagoon, with spectacular sunsets and sunrises. Lots of swans, cape barren geese, ducks, cormorants, and shore birds. Wood can be purchased across the road for your campfire. Please ensure you are up to date with any local fire restrictions in place, and abide by them. VERY IMPORTANT: Strictly one vehicle/campervan/caravan per booking. If you are traveling as a group, and have 2+ caravans for example, you will need to make two bookings. Please check prior to booking if you have any questions. All campers MUST be self-contained, with their own camp toilet and we kindly ask you take all waste when you go. Bicheno has a Dump Point across the road from the boat ramp / Lobster Shack Please be responsible for your own rubbish. No rubbish bins provided Bicheno Tip open every day / Bar Saturday… Please check their website for further times etc. Tip is cash only..This option is only to be used if advised by the host. It is for when there has been an agreement to accept an additional booking over the normal campground capacity. All details and rules are the same as with the normal sites. Strictly 1 vehicle/caravan per booking. If you have multiple vehicles, and it has been agreed with the host, you will need to book multiple sites. All campers MUST be self-contained with their own camp toilet, and take all waste when they go.

We booked this campsite as it was close to Freycinet National Park. We found the campsite to be overpriced. No amenities. Pretty much a water logged field. Not great value for money.

The only good thing about this camp is there is plenty of space between campers and a short walk to the beach. The location is not where the Hipcamp map places it, well off the main road. The camping area backs onto the main highway between Bicheno and Saint Helens, so you get all the traffic noise. Expensive for where it is, go to the other side of Bicheno to the Pondering Frog for $10/n with water.

Bicheno without the Easter crowds
We loved our stay here. You could choose where to park and your favorite outlook. There was only one other camper when we arrived beginning of easter break and one more caravan arrived. We were so far away from each other. It felt very private. We did chat to our far away neighbours when we crossed paths. Close enough to Bicheno 5 mins drive and far enough away to be away from the easter crowds. It was a lovely town. We were close enough to walk the dogs to the beach or drive to the leash free side. We were next to Nature World which we visited and did the Devils in the Dark encounter. Those little Tassie devils, tell a dramatic story. The dump point is close to Bicheno boat ramp and there is fresh drinking water available at the Surf Life saving club. Would recommend..

Camp by the lagoon
Well situated to explore Bicheno and the beautiful Tasmanian east coast, this campsite offers amazing sunrise views over the lagoon...Ideal for a time away from the crowd, exploring nature at its best.
