Wineglass Bay is just up the road in Freycinet National Park.We only welcome guests over the age of 50 who have a fully self-contained vehicle.

Why not take your mountain bike up there and enjoy the downhill ride afterwards? Sunsets are spectacular at Stringybark and the skies phenomenal during clear nights. Although it feels like the end of the world, surrounded by bush and wildlife, we're only 30 minutes drive from Launceston CBD, Ben Lomond National Park and Josef Chromy's winery and only a 20 minute drive from Launceston Airport, making it a perfect base to explore Launceston and surrounds.

We live on the property, just a stone's throw from the camp site, so if you ever need anything, just shout out. Dogs are permitted, however strictly on lead only to protect the wildlife and our sheep. If your dog gets very excited around wildlife or sheep, this may not be a suitable stay, since they might come right up to your camp. Please note, that Stringybark is a working property and we currently have some exciting building projects going on around our Tiny House and big shed. While we'll always respect your privacy and keep noise levels to a minimum, please be aware that tools, building material and other rural property stuff can be present at any time (never on the campsite though). Please ALWAYS supervise children and pets, particularly in the following areas: -bush and grass areas where snakes can be present most of the year -around the shed where we store farm materials -around our lakes which are not fenced in

WildWing Retreat

WildWing Retreat is a beautiful 25 acre bush block, located within a 15 minute (1km) walk, to the local surf beach of Four Mile. The property has been created to host retreats centred around nature immersion, movement and connection (i.e yoga, acroyoga, dance, meditation, mindfuness, embodiment practices etc) and in the 'off season' it's available to host hipcampers! Because the space has been designed to host large groups, there are a bunch of facilities available to use, such as compost toilets, a communal kitchen with fresh running water, solar lights and gas cooker, an undercover deck area, hot showers, and a cedar barrel hot tub (refer to the extras section for hot tub use!). We also have a small stream on the property, with a little waterhole for plunging in and are surrounded by native wildlife. The property blooms with native Kunzea bushes, wattles, native cherries and various varieties of eucalyptus. WildWing is also our home, so we have our own set up, on a different section of the property. This means that we are nearby if needed, but that we all have our own space on the property :). There is a beautiful large fresh water river and waterhole just down the road (15 minute walk, or 2 minute drive), and aside from the surf beach down the front, we are also only a 10-15 minute drive from a bunch of other beautiful and popular surf beaches on the east coast. The whole area is great for fishing, boating, surfing, bike riding, walking and short hikes. We are a 10 minute drive from Falmouth, a 25 minute drive from the St Helens mountain bike trails, a 30 minute drive from Bicheno & Douglas Apsley National Park, a 45 minute drive from the infamous Bay of Fires and an hours drive from the Freycinet National Park. We are passionate about outdoor living and supporting the natural environment and have created WildWing with the intention to support others to have unique and beautiful experiences in nature, while caring for the land they inhabit.

The best camping near Ben Lomond National Park guide

Overview

About

Ben Lomond National Park beckons adventurers with its snow-capped peaks and alpine plateaus. Here, you can indulge in skiing, snowboarding, and scenic walks, or simply revel in the park's tranquil beauty. With camping available, visitors can immerse themselves in this highland gem, waking up to crisp mountain air and stunning vistas.

Notable campgrounds

  • Ben Lomond camping: Nestle amid the trees in this sheltered spot, perfect for a peaceful retreat in nature.
  • Alpine Village: Stay close to the slopes and enjoy easy access to the park's stunning plateau walks.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early to secure your spot, especially during peak ski season when the park is a winter wonderland.
  • Consider visiting during the off-peak season for a quieter experience and easier booking.
  • Keep an eye on cancellation policies; last-minute openings can be your ticket to a spontaneous getaway.
  • Explore nearby camping options for alternative stays close to the park's attractions.

When to go

The prime time to visit Ben Lomond National Park is during the winter months, from early July to late September, when the park transforms into a snowy paradise for skiers and snowboarders. Summer offers wildflowers and wildlife, with milder weather ideal for hiking.

Know before you go

  • Always check weather conditions before your visit, as they can change rapidly, especially in alpine areas.
  • Between June and September, carry snow chains due to frequent snowfall; they are available for rent at Ben Lomond BASE.
  • Be prepared for the steep and winding ascent up Jacobs Ladder, especially during winter.
  • Respect the park's wildlife by observing from a distance and driving cautiously to avoid accidents.
  • Ensure you have a valid parks pass for entry, which can be purchased prior to your visit.
