Craigie Knowe Vineyard is a working vineyard and cellar door, set on 20 hectares, with 5 hectares under vine. It is the oldest vineyard on the beautiful East Coast of Tasmania. The homestead was built in 1836 and is one of the most photographed houses in Tasmania The cellar door is open 11-4, and offers chocolate and wine pairings, and normal tastings. We also have a restaurant on site open from 11:30 - 3:00 daily during summer. It is a beautiful vineyard with plenty of outside seating. There are also 5 other cellar doors within 10 minutes of the property, so it's a great basecamp for wine lovers! We have plenty of level ground, ideal for pulling up for a night or several. Please note, all campers must be self-contained, with their own toilet, and we kindly ask you take all waste with you. Just outside the property, the Swan River flows past, a great place to cool off on hot days, sometimes there are fish there too. Swansea is 16km away and Bicheno is 26km away. Both towns have IGA supermarkets, bottle shops and restaurants, and plenty of history. Freycinet National Park is 40 minutes, and makes for a great day trip, with beautiful walks, fantastic scenery, and of course iconic Wine Glass Bay.Sites are allocated on arrival, with plenty of level ground, and all with lovely views and privacy. You'll be able to park up next to the Pinot Noir vines, a short walk to the cellar door area, where there are plenty of tables and chairs. Our Restaurant is open Thursday through to Monday each week for lunch. Sample menu is shown in photos. We also offer a big Breakfast Thursday through Monday, need to be booked on arrival. All guests need to be self-contained, with their own toilet please.

If you need a paddock to spend a night or 2 so you can leave your van and explore the area with your dog then this is it. Yes it's a basic paddock on a working farm with the dreaded sheep and poo they bring with them poo and trucks getting around. Also yes there's a gas gun going regularly as there's vineyards everywhere so if you mistake that for people shooting like clockwork all day then you need get out of the big smoke every now and then and live a little. Also If you don't have enough physical strength to pick up a broken gate then have chat to the friendly owners and see if they can fit you among the vines that way for you can sip some wine and feel like the fancy city slicker that you probably are. Yeah $30 bucks a night might be a tad steep in comparison but I'd pay it again for the stopover location we needed and nice host.

Unfortunately it wasn’t as pleasant as we hoped staying here. The camping area was huge but needed more regular mowing and the sheep are in the same paddock and therefore ALOT of sheep poo everywhere. We had a crawling baby with us and therefore had to spend the first half n hour picking up poo and moving it so the baby didn’t find it. Not what you should be doing after spending $30 a night on a place with no facilities. Then to top it off the following night I’m guessing it was the workers in the shed were blasting music all night long. And it was so loud. My husband ending up going up there after midnight asking them to turn it off and the young guys were drunk as anything and ended up turning the music back on 20minutes later. Literally heard them until 3 in the morning. From now reading other reviews it seems that this is a common occurrence. If you’re going to have regular parties with super loud music on your property then don’t charge people to camp there. In saying all this the owner and his son were very welcoming and friendly towards us about everything and the views were amazing.

At best a makeshift site; at worst an afterthought. The gates aren’t secured to posts and so you have to lift them up & carry them out of the way to get through and then reassemble them! Sheep are in the same paddock too — so dog off-leash isn’t really an option. And then there was all the local gunfire on neighbouring land from dawn to dusk. So everyone at the site was disgruntled. With a bit more consideration for their paying customers, the owners would have happier campers. There really are better sites around for less money.

Good spot in a paddock. Gras was not short but ok. Access easy and the owner is very friendly. Nice vinyard.

This camp has a lot of potential however it didn’t live up to expectations. Of the 3 Hipcamps we’ve stayed at over the past week, it was the most expensive but least impressive. We paid for 2 nights but left after 1. It’s a big space and you can find a site that’s away from other campers which is good. The actual ground is covered in tufts of grass making the surface uneven to walk on. I also watched others, as well as my husband, struggle with the broken gate. It needs to be hinged and swing properly, not lifted both sides coming in and out. There is no rubbish/recycling receptacles as stated. Perhaps remove the car bodies too. Lots of potential but not there yet for the price.

We had a great time camping in the paddock, there were a few others widely separated from us. The close proximity to the winery, Floras restaurant we’re a highlight, definitely have a meal there, such scrumptious food and the most generous of wine tastings
