Our property runs beef and cultivates crops alongside the Ringarooma river, North East Tasmania. We often host mountain bike riders here to access the world-class trails at Derby. Nearby are many marked mountain trails, and numerous falls. Skiing is 1hr away in the winter. Our camping site is alongside cattle grazing paddocks and the Ringarooma river, and we offer one site only, to one group at a time, so it's yours exclusively. A toilet is available nearby. A gravel track descends to the river with a short steep bank preceding the flats. When the track reaches the river the camping site is just through the gate on the right. One gate and two wire gates may require opening on the way and these gates need to be closed again to prevent cattle from wandering. Electrical fencing is in use and alive - please be careful! Wood for your campfire is available to purchase, $15. I can supply fresh sourdough loaves $6 also fresh eggs $3perhalf doz, and fresh cows milk most of the year $5/2L. Fly fish for trout and cook over the coals for a treat. Welcome to bring your dog along, but please keep them under control.Camp alongside the Ringarooma River, in North East Tasmania.

Pauline's riverside campsite is a peaceful haven for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle. Guests frequently mention the serene setting by the Ringarooma River, where platypuses can often be spotted. While most reviews praise the solitude and scenic views, one review notes that some maintenance on the campsite's grass areas might be needed. Overall, Pauline's hospitality, including her delicious sourdough bread, adds a welcoming touch to the experience.

Just what the doctor ordered

Tent

I loved staying at Pauline’s camp by the riverside. It was just what the doctor order after several camps with noisy neighbours, this was pure bliss! I left feeling totally rejuvenated and relaxed. Saw the platypus daily, had a visit from a possum, lots of birds and butterfly’s and I had them all to myself! The views were beautiful and the location felt safe. Pauline’s sourdough was yum and the fresh eggs were delicious - such bright yellow yolks! This is a great camp, would highly recommend.

What a lovely spot to spend a couple of quiet days! Pauline is a wonderful host, her bread and eggs are very tasty, and she was most accommodating when we asked to stay another night. There is a good fire pit right in front of the river and plenty of space to spread out so everyone has a little privacy. The portaloo is clean and very convenient, so much better than taking our own loo. Close to Branxholm, Ledgerwood and Derby for mountain biking. We are hoping to book another stay soon.

Great farm stay 😊

Tent · Group trip

Lovely spot 😊 loved the fresh milk, sourdough, eggs and the firewood ready at camp for stay as extras. Not far from Derby ( floating sauna when in Derby is a must) Loved sitting around the fire 🔥 listening to the river and birds. Oh and the portaloo was a bonus.
