The campsite offers a charming experience, nestled within an orchard with river views. Guests appreciate the convenience of potable water and a dump point, making it a practical choice for exploring the Huon Valley. Darren, the host, is frequently praised for his warm hospitality and helpful tips about the area. However, some visitors note challenges with uneven ground, especially for larger caravans during wet conditions.

River paddock
It was a great place to camp for a few days to see the surrounding areas. The farm stay was good and had a chance to pick some of the fruit that lasted us a few days. Darren was a great host who assisted us with getting set up and onto the property. The views from our site over the river were fantastic. Very nice little town to explore as well. I highly recommend Darrens place for a stay and we would go back if in that part of the world again.

Loved the tucked ih spot at the orchard. The plums were delicious and the alpacas fun. This is a great location, right in the middle of everywhere we wanted to go. We ended up stopping back at the van to put the lovely produce we purchased in the fridge. So convienient.

Site 2 orchard very sheltered
Good directions however easy to drive past if traffic up ones tail looking for the address. We scored a good spot looking East to the river and valley. Really great to have potable water & dump point available
( getting water over previous few days on Bruny Island was impossible unless camped at landscape supply park ) Really nice mowed lawn ( a treat after camping on black sand )
Darren was friendly & responsive, thank you 🙌🏽

Site 2 orchard very sheltered
Lovely peaceful campsite with river views. We really enjoyed our time amongst the orchard. It was very Conveniently located for exploring the Huon Valley. Site was sheltered but definitely not flat. I would not attempt this site with a low clearance van or if you are not experienced leveling your set up. Once other people are camped in the spots below it could be difficult for an easy exit if you don’t have 4wd/off road caravan, or if it is wet. Darren is a great host and around when needed. Water tap and dump point easy to find and access.

River paddock
What a beautiful and well presented place. Lovely views over the river. Easy access if you follow Darren’s instructions. Lovely afternoon spent feeding the alpacas, wandering through the orchard, kids were straight up the big tree! Darren offers water also. Can sometimes see Aurora from the site however sadly our night was cloudy. Even with a second camp set up on site there was plenty of of room. Thanks again for all you local info Darren.
