Semaphore Farm offers campers a spacious and peaceful environment, with lovely views and proximity to Port Arthur's historic site. The campsite is well-regarded for its clean and well-maintained amenities, including a hot shower and a camp kitchen. It's a dog-friendly spot, making it a great option for pet owners. While some visitors noted that the site could be pricey and challenging to navigate for larger rigs, overall, the experience is positive with friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere.

Semaphore Farm N6 Tent Site
This was a great place to camp with a fantastic position. All the facilities I needed and more. I ended up staying 2 more nights than I originally planned and will stay there again if I am ever down Port Arthur.

Semaphore Farm Level Pad 7
The site is in a fantastic location really close to the Port Arthur historic site, a stunning little beach and the Nubeenna shops for groceries etc.
The large rustic camp kitchen/shelter area would get alot of use in bad weather and the basic toilet and shower facilities make it accessible to campers who aren't self contained.
It's set on a rolling green hillside with a number of spacious level terraces carved into the hill to camp on. When it's quiet the spot is lovely but the terraces are quite close together so when the site reaches the advertised capacity (or more when we were there) it tends to squish people together a bit too closely. Despite the overall site being so large the slope of the hill doesn't allow people to realistically use much of the area other than the terraces to spread out.
All in all a great spot, and with the bonus of being dog friendly, but just be prepared to have neighbours.

This is a great spot to explore Port Arthur and surrounds. A
Little steepish but level pads and a lovely big grassed area at the bottom.
Amenities are good and clean.
Adriana is a lovely person who has great stories of her families beginnings and the history behind this property.

Semaphore Farm Level Pad 7
A great spot to explore the peninsula. A little steepish when entering but the level pads a great. Plus there’s an area in the lower section that is ok for vans. This has a great view. Lovely field surrounded by tall gums. Lots of wildlife around.
Walking distance to the historic Port Arthur site.
We met Adrianna who gave us a great talk on how her family purchased this farm.
Will certainly come back again.
Thank you
