    4 Vehicle/Tent sites
    Pitch your tent or park your van next to one of our lovely dams. The property is home to running streams, waterfalls, platypus, free range pigs, sheep along with stunning views. Visitors can enjoy swimming in the warmer months and lots of walking and exploring the rest of the year. Campers must be self contained with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. Camp fires are welcome pending there are no restrictions and they must be kept contained. Access can be difficult after heavy rainfall and you will need to drive through opened paddocks and unformed tracks to campsites so please use caution. We are just 20 mins drive to Ulverstone and a 10 minute drive to Leven canyon, Preston falls and Gunns Plains so there is plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. 60 minutes drive to Cradle Mountain and 90 mins drive Tullah West coast. 30 mins Penguin and Devonport.Pitch your tent or park your van next to one of our lovely dams.

    Had a fantastic time during our stay at this fantastic property. Plenty to do within driving distance and stunning scenery all round. Highly recommend staying here, the host are fantastic. We got a tour of the property and the kids even got to help feed some of the animals.

    We had a wonderful time camping at David's dam camp! He was so generous and lovely, giving us many options to choose where we wanted to camp, loan of a kayak to use on the dam and spending time telling us about his wonderful free range farm! You have to be set up for full off grid camping and not all sights are as accessible so good to check with David first. From Dam Camp we went and explored Leven Canyon, Gunn's Plains Caves and Wings Wildlife Park. We really had a wonderful time spending a super relaxed few days in this beautiful part of the world! Thanks David!

    Quiet and peaceful location with wonderful views. Other sites place you in the middle of the bush if you seek privacy. Friendly, helpful hosts with a genuine, caring approach to farming and their stock. Telstra reception good on top of property, Optus sketchy.
