Cluny Lagoon
4 sites · RVs, Tents60 acres · Ouse, TAS
Take the opportunity to enjoy this very special place on the lake to pitch a tent or park your van by the yurt. You can lay back and star gaze the myriad of stars, and even take a jump off the pontoon into the beautiful cool waters, or bring your kayaks and paddle the shores.
Take the opportunity to use as a base to visit the Florentine valley, Mt Field and many other nearby attractions. The tranquillity and privacy will leave you a wonderful feeling of peace.
This is a wonderful place to unwind, take a swim with your dog and just hang out with the very special access to the lagoon.
The yurt has been there for about 14 years and we have hosted many different groups such as rowing events, parties with bands, bike riding groups and horse riding, amongst other enjoyable activities.
There are no amenities here, campers must be self contained and leave no trace.
I will consider opening more sites only for single groups on application.
