Camp and fish just a stonesthrow from one of Tasmania's most stunning natural landscapes, Cradle Mountain. Here you'll find nature at its best, just 10 minutes drive from the Cradle Mountain Visitors centre, the perfect base for discovering this magical area. Our campsites are on scenic, levelled areas overlooking the large dam and bushland, with grassed areas ideal for tents and camper-vans, and a portaloo a short walk away. The block is a natural timber and grassland block, with devils, quolls and wombats also residing here. We have one powered site available, and multiple unpowered sites. There is a lovely walking track around the dams periphery. Feed fish from the edge, spot platypus frolicking about, and keep your eye out for Peacocks wandering the property too. Whilst you are welcome to bring your dog with you, please ensure they don't harass the wildlife.

Cradle Mountain Fish and Camping is a popular spot for campers seeking a peaceful retreat close to Cradle Mountain. Many reviewers appreciated the cleanliness of the facilities, notably the well-maintained toilets. Scott, the host, received praise for his hospitality, while the site's natural surroundings and amenities like fire pits and fishing opportunities were frequently highlighted. However, some noted that the site could be busy and that the water needed boiling before drinking.

Great location near Cradle Mountain
Great location, facilities were clean and in good order. The lagoon/dam is very picturesque and there are even canoes and paddle boats available to use

Very friendly and welcoming host. Beautiful, relaxing location. Gas BBQ's and fire pits readily available. Firewood supplied at small cost. Most immaculately clean portable loo's we have ever seen. Close proximity to Cradle Mountain.

Scott was very helpful and the property was beautiful. We loved paddling around the dam and watching the fish jump, and there was plenty of space for us tent campers. We would go back if we were ever to visit Cradle Mountain again!

It's like camping in the wilderness
It's a perfect spot to visit cradle mountain national park. The campsite itself is situated on a beautiful little lake, which is perfect for a walk or a spot for fishing.

Fantastic campground, stunning environment. To think people are stacked up at Cradle Mountain when this is available. We loved it. Portacabins were spotless. This is our favourite site in Tassie so far
