    Welcome to Sherwood River Camp, our self contained camping grounds with access to the Wild Mersey MTB trails. The camp grounds are located just 8 minutes from Latrobe and 15 minutes from Devonport. The camping area is located on the banks of the Mersey River where you can enjoy your favourite water activities or just relax by the water side and enjoy the sounds of nature. Campers must be self contained with their own camping toilet and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. Pets are welcome but please keep them under control. We have rain water available as well. We recommend a 4x4 vehicle when towing caravans as the driveway to the property is gravel and on a hill. This is a working farm so please have respect for the host property and livestock. $10 per person, per night. Kids under 12 are free so don't put them as part of your booking. Welcome to Sherwood River Camp, our self contained camping grounds.

    Sherwood River Camp offers a peaceful escape with its riverside location and spacious grassy areas. Many visitors enjoy swimming, fishing, and exploring nearby trails. However, wasps are a notable concern, especially for those allergic, as they have been aggressive during some stays. Despite this, the camp's natural beauty and proximity to local towns make it a popular choice for both short and extended visits.

    Brilliant spot on the river, close to mountain bike park and lovely walks. Oh and saw lots of platypus!

    It’s a perfect place to camp. Beautiful river and views. Suspension bridge and adjoining bike track adds extra activities. Laid back atmosphere and a great central location to visit Cradle Mountain. Only thing I’ll say is if you have a bee allergy don’t visit from March till middle of April. Wasps very active during that period. They aren’t aggressive. Ryan does everything he can to lessen their affect.

    Beautiful spot to go and relax. The river was perfect for a float around on the warm days..

    Lovely setting, but it had a huge wasp problem, if we had known we would not have booked, there were wasp baits around, but not enough to combat the problem, the swarming was disconcerting & I bitten several times, we had to leave camp during the day to get relief.

    Lovely river for swimming and fishing, only downside was lots of wasps so if you’re allergic I’d not recommend, otherwise it’s lovely 😊
