    Located 4km from Launceston CBD, you feel you could be miles away from civilisation but have all the conveniences of a big town just minutes away. Campgrounds are nestled amongst lakes and wetlands, with an abundance of wildlife sharing the grounds with campers. Apricus Restaurant is on the property, hosting all the farm animals (highland cows, alpacas, cheeky goats and furry donkeys to name a few!). Toilets are available along with a dump point. Please note there are no shower facilities. Hipcamp sites are unpowered, but have access to town water. Powered sites are available but need to be booked through the Old Macs website. Campgrounds are for self contained RVs only - tents and sleeping in cars not permitted.Pick from any unpowered site on arrival. Variety of sites from large grassy sunny sites, through to private amongst bushes by the lake.

    This campsite offers a peaceful and serene environment, perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle while still being conveniently close to town. Visitors consistently highlight the cleanliness of the facilities and the welcoming nature of the hosts, creating a pleasant stay for all. The presence of farm animals adds a unique touch, particularly enjoyed by families. However, the occasional nighttime freight train might be a minor disturbance for some.

    Great site! Great hosts! This is such a lovely site right in the heart of Launceston - in terms of convenience and access - but 'way out of it', in terms of the peace & quiet! Highly recommended!
