    Stringybark is a quiet 80 hectare rural property in the North East of Tasmania, featuring bush, native grassland and 4 beautiful lakes. It's the perfect place to kick back and relax, enjoy the views, the abundant wildlife and refreshing swims in the lakes on the property. If you feel like going for a wander, you can spend hours exploring the bush and native grasslands on the property and if you're keen on climbing the hill you get rewarded with amazing views over the Great Western Tiers. Why not take your mountain bike up there and enjoy the downhill ride afterwards? Sunsets are spectacular at Stringybark and the skies phenomenal during clear nights. Although it feels like the end of the world, surrounded by bush and wildlife, we're only 30 minutes drive from Launceston CBD, Ben Lomond National Park and Josef Chromy's winery and only a 20 minute drive from Launceston Airport, making it a perfect base to explore Launceston and surrounds. You need to be fully self contained and there are no amenities. But there is a beautiful lake with jetty to swim in. We live on the property, just a stone's throw from the camp site, so if you ever need anything, just shout out. Dogs are permitted, however strictly on lead only to protect the wildlife and our sheep. If your dog gets very excited around wildlife or sheep, this may not be a suitable stay, since they might come right up to your camp. Please note, that Stringybark is a working property. While we'll always respect your privacy and keep noise levels to a minimum, please be aware that we do work on the land and that tools, building material and other rural property stuff can be present at any time (never on the campsite though). Please ALWAYS supervise children and pets, particularly in the following areas: -bush and grass areas where snakes can be present most of the year -around the shed where we store farm materials -around our lakes which are not fenced in We're so excited to be sharing our piece of paradise with campers from near and far and from all walks of life :)

    We had a lovely stay at Stringybark/Bandicoots Rest. The property is an excellent halfway location between Ben Lomond and Launceston. Definitely buy the sourdough if available. Absolute treat.

    Bandicoot's Rest
    Level spots are available closer to Romina's house but we found that with a bit of effort, we could set up our 16' caravan between the 2 dams, up the valley. Open area - good for solar and being close to the dams, we were lulled to sleep by the frogs calling. Safe spot to leave caravan and visit/ hike/ cycle Ben Lomond and hike up Rugged Jack Mountain. Romina was extremely accommodating and friendly.

    This was a great camping spot - flat ground for tents, lovely and quiet and full of wildlife. Very good value for money. Would stay again.

    We took a Campervan to Bandicoots Rest and had a lovely night. The hosts were very friendly and gave us a map so that we could explore the property. Very happy to be their first Hipcamp guests!
