SAME-DAY BOOKINGS MUST BE MADE BY 2 PM THANKS. Total numbers at the site are kept below 45 people for a more peaceful experience. Semaphore Farm is a 400-acre property with convict history, bordering the Port Artur historic site. It is a private timber reserve and a working forest farm. We have a combination of native eucalypt forest and plantation, and we grow hay and our own beef. We have many walking and bike trails through 150 acres of forest and pasture accessible to campers. The campsite has spring water on tap, a hot shower, toilet, rustic camp kitchen, wood stove, gas BBQ, level sites, and a campfire when permitted. Tent sites are flexible so you can choose your own space within a 2-hectare area, while Level pad sites are limited. The Port Arthur Historic Site and a safe swimming beach are within walking distance and Safety Cove and Remarkable Cave are only a 5-minute drive away. Longer walks, including the Three Capes tracks, are easily accessible. Launch your boat nearby to access good fishing or fish for squid off the Port Arthur jetty. There is plenty of wildlife to see at night and birds during the day. You might even see our resident Wedgetail Eagle! Dog-friendly (must be under control/on a lead/contained).

Semaphore Farm N1 Tent Site

Adriana’s property contains a lot of history. We were very pleased that Adriana took the time to visit the campsite and welcome all new campers . She provided a lovely story about how the campsite came to be and her and her husbands visions for the land they own. Please stop in, enjoy the campsite and it’s surrounds.

We had such a lovely time at the farm! Marian made you feel at home and there were beautiful views from all over the property. The camp shower and kitchen/fire area were excellent! Nice and close to everything. Will definitely be back.
