Base Camp - Campsites
Steve and Alana have such a beautiful site and they are fantastic hosts. The kitchen is well stocked with basics and utensils, as well as very clean. The showers and bathroom were also super clean. Steve was very helpful in recommending walks and routes to take around Tassie; clearly loves where he lives and helping others to see the best bits of it. The animal feeding in the evenings was so cute. Would definitely recommend this campsite and would love to visit again!! Can’t recommend enough!!

We.loved staying here in our roof top tent. Beautiful location (where we saw an echidna as well as pademelons) and the facilities were excellent- a great kitchen/lounge space and a toilet, shower and laundry block. Everything was spotless. The driveway was pretty hairy tho! Best in low gear as it is very steep with some very sharp corners.

Legendary friendly folk & wildlife
Steve & Alana are legends. They are fabulous hosts & the property itself is amazing. The facilities are great, the wildlife is abundant, & the peacefulness of the campground is truly remarkable. It was great to use as a basecamp to explore the area & also for taking a break from excursions while having the comforts of home out in the bush. Good people go here!

HOLIDAY IN STYLE
Perfect quiet location. Lived up to the name as “base camp”. So peaceful didn’t want to leave. Ammenities are above anything experienced in other locations saying this I felt we were at a family getaway home and not a camp ground. Planning the next trip but next time we will stay longer. Thank you for the wonderful experience

Lovely camping spot in the bush
Alana and Steve are great hosts and their property is peaceful and beautiful. As everyone says, the entry is quite steep but was fine in our campervan, although could be challenging in the wet. Best amenities we encountered - clean, spacious and comfortable.
