    "Best Tasmanian Hipcamp 2021"  2nd Place. LAT 41 SOUTH was created during COVID-19 as a getaway for all to enjoy a camping area for all. Come and rest, relax and enjoy a digital detox and/or quality time with friends and family. If you have a question just ask. This retreat inspires a sense of peace and wonder. Wildlife abounds.

    Campsite visitors consistently highlight the tranquility and spaciousness of the area, with many appreciating the serene river setting, perfect for swimming and fishing. Karen, the host, is frequently praised for her warm hospitality and helpful insights about the local area. Guests find the site well-maintained, and the lack of phone service is often seen as a welcome escape from daily distractions. Families with children and pets, as well as those seeking a peaceful retreat, find this location ideal.

    Thanks mate
    16 ft pop-up camper
    Karen and her lovely block are wonderful and it's great that she limits occupation to a few sites thereby maintaining what should be important to private camping.

    Beautiful riverside camping
    With kids
    Beautiful quiet spot next to the Esk River. Plenty of space, fire pots and even wood. Excellent swimming hole next to some small rapids, great for kids to explore. Karen was super friendly and accommodating. Awesome spot for a quiet few days or to explore the region, including Mathinna Falls and the Evercreech forest. Top spot
