    Beautiful 8 acre property situated on the edge of the Craigbourne Dam, 2 minutes from the township of Colebrook and 50 minutes from the Hobart CBD. Our property offers are great getaway experience for any traveller. The Craigbourne Dam is a all year round recreational fishing ground and stocks many species of fish i.e. Atlantic Salmon, Brown Trout and Rainbow Trout to name a few. Our property is a pet friendly park but we do ask all patrons to be considerate of the surrounding farmland and live stock . As we are a fully self contained campground we do not provide power, toilets or showers. You'll need to have your own amenities and discard of any rubbish . Limit phone coverage but still enough to call/text Contained campfires permitted when restrictions aren't in place. Firewood for sale for a small fee (see Extras). IMPORTANT : Any guest that wish to fish the Craigbourne Dam will be asked to purchase a angling license for the duration of their stay .

    This campsite consistently receives praise for its serene environment, picturesque views, and welcoming hosts. Visitors often mention enjoying activities like fishing, swimming, and observing local wildlife, including friendly resident dogs that many seem to adore. The spacious and well-maintained grounds provide campers with plenty of room to relax and enjoy nature. While the majority of reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few note the potential challenge of strong winds, which can impact tent campers without adequate shelter.

    I loved staying at old barn paddock in our caravan , it was soo peaceful and quiet. It even had a gorgeous resident dog that spent most of her time with us and our dog.

    The owners are really nice. It’s a good spot to camp and have your own space.

    Lovely scenic spot and nice and quiet which we love. hosts callum & natalie are very nice people. We also loved seeing the resident sea eagles hovering above. A very easy place to find and just far enough off the road to not be bothered from noisy traffic.
