    Falcon Ridge is our piece of rural paradise. The property slopes up from the road to a large ridgeline, on the right days, you will see Peregrine falcons or wedge-tailed eagles using the uplift to effortlessly soar over our property. We also have multiple echidnas that share our property, along with a family of shy wombats (that you might be lucky enough to see at dawn and dusk). There are sweeping views to the North and East. The campsite (which you will have all to yourself) has options for all vehicle types, although some minor levelling may be required in parts for vans/campers. You're welcome to bring your dog along too! We can only accept self-contained campers, so you'll need to have your own camp toilet. There is a dump point located in Sorell (15 mins away). A fire pit has been made for your use. There is an abundance of sticks on the ground for you to collect and burn (subject to fire restrictions), I have also created a small firewood store for your use on wet days for a small fee if required. Settle in, and experience the resident wildlife during the day or the stars at night.We only allow one group at the campsite at a time, so you will have the site to yourselves. There is a fire pit for your use and an undercover firewood store for you to purchase if needed (purchase as an extra through Hipcamp). You will get Telstra reception, but intermittent connection from Optus and other providers. If you are bringing your dog along, please be aware that there are wallabies on the property, so you may want to keep them on lead unless you are confident of their recall. We welcome dogs onto our property, but their actions will be your responsibility, including picking up their poo!

    Falcon Ridge is a favorite among campers seeking a quiet retreat, offering breathtaking views and a sense of seclusion. Visitors appreciate the fenced property, making it a great choice for dog owners. The spot is described as peaceful, with the bonus of a ready-to-use fire pit, adding to the cozy atmosphere on chilly nights. While some mention occasional noise from a nearby highway and planes, the overall experience remains serene and enjoyable.

    Private get away.

    It's a nice private spot if you feel like getting away from the rat race for a few days. A nice view from one end of the property.

    Was a great place to camp. My friends and I loved that there was a fire pit ready to be lit, especially as it was chilly at night. The view was amazing from this spot and we loved the privacy of the place.

    Sadly, I never made it to Falcon Ridge because I became stuck in a thunderstorm while trying to hitch hike out of Hobart to the site. I may never know it's gems but Zac was flexible and accommodating to my situation. I would try again with my own wheels next time.

    We loved camping in our van at Falcon Ridge. So great that the whole property is fenced and we didn’t have to worry about our dog running off or getting lost. A nice quiet spot with great views!

    Weekend camping with the dogs.
    17 ft travel trailer
    Clear directions to find the camp. Nice cleared area with view through the trees. Dogs loved it, and fully fenced which was great. Nice fireplace and plenty of wood which we purchased. Rodeo was on down the hill, so we were entertained for the night too.
