    Very well serviced site, whose host accommodated us in a welcoming and straightforward way. Private bathrooms (toilet/sink/shower) very clean. Remember to bring laundry powder if planning to do some washing, which we unfortunately forgot!

    The park is very clean and well organised. The facilities are of a high standard. We went on a long weekend but still found the park very quiet. If you head to this region visit the Winifred Curtis REserve - the bird life is amazing! We really enjoyed our stay.

    The natural bush setting was fabulous. The open air showers are a real treat and it is soooo quiet. The camp kitchen has everything most people would need. Ebony was a charming host.

    Great spot for camping and caravaning, the facilities were excellent and clean. Only lost half a star for the dump point being full, this should be cleaned more often.

    Weekend Trip to     It’s 'Binalong' Time
    We had two night on Kate’s block. We were a group of 6 Adults and 3 dogs (Blue heeler, Coolie and Greyhound) The block is full fenced so the dogs could roam without us having to worry about them getting out. It’s a lovely block but it does have a little slop so if you have caravan make sure you bring your levellers. There is a flat spot up the top of block for a tent or similar. It was good that if you book this site you get the whole block to yourself. Communication with Kate was 10/10. She was very obliging also allowing us to check out late. I would recommend this Hipcamp spot.

    WildWing Retreat

    6 sites · RVs, Tents25 acres · St Helens, TAS
    WildWing Retreat is a beautiful 25 acre bush block, located within a 15 minute (1km) walk, to the local surf beach of Four Mile. The property has been created to host retreats centred around nature immersion, movement and connection (i.e yoga, acroyoga, dance, meditation, mindfuness, embodiment practices etc) and in the 'off season' it's available to host hipcampers! Because the space has been designed to host large groups, there are a bunch of facilities available to use, such as compost toilets, a communal kitchen with fresh running water, solar lights and gas cooker, an undercover deck area, hot showers, and a cedar barrel hot tub (refer to the extras section for hot tub use!). We also have a small stream on the property, with a little waterhole for plunging in and are surrounded by native wildlife. The property blooms with native Kunzea bushes, wattles, native cherries and various varieties of eucalyptus. WildWing is also our home, so we have our own set up, on a different section of the property. This means that we are nearby if needed, but that we all have our own space on the property :). There is a beautiful large fresh water river and waterhole just down the road (15 minute walk, or 2 minute drive), and aside from the surf beach down the front, we are also only a 10-15 minute drive from a bunch of other beautiful and popular surf beaches on the east coast. The whole area is great for fishing, boating, surfing, bike riding, walking and short hikes. We are a 10 minute drive from Falmouth, a 25 minute drive from the St Helens mountain bike trails, a 30 minute drive from Bicheno & Douglas Apsley National Park, a 45 minute drive from the infamous Bay of Fires and an hours drive from the Freycinet National Park. We are passionate about outdoor living and supporting the natural environment and have created WildWing with the intention to support others to have unique and beautiful experiences in nature, while caring for the land they inhabit.
