Finding us couldn't be easier , just turn right at the welcome to Franklin sign when driving from Huonville. Our gate has two big gum stumps as posts. Early arrival/ caravan drop off possible. please contact us to arrange With big views up the Huon Valley and over the river, this campsite will be sure to provide a great stay. The property is a 5 minute walk into the Historic town of Franklin, where there are are pubs and restaurants. We have 2 flat sites and 3 slight gradient sites, all are far apart. All sites accessible by 2wd depending on weather. There are no facilities, so the site is suitable for self contained campers only, There is dump for toilet water. The site also has drinking water water available free. Due to our children and our Alpaca on site pets must be kept on a leash. Visiting children are welcome to help our kids feed Alpaca, just ask. The property has an orchard of cherry plums, apples, pears, lemons and apricots. There are great walks and sites to see in the local area. It's possible to see Aurora from your campsite, but not guaranteed.

Fantastic Host great location
We had a wonderful 4 night stay in the Orchard. It is a very protected site from the winds, still with a lovely open outlook to the Huon River. Whilst we were the only campers while we were there, the other site is well removed and you would not have privacy issues when Darren has both sites booked. We had some technical issues with our camper, and Darren could not have been more helpful, going above and beyond what we would have expected as a host. When we were doing our research, all enquiries were handled promptly. Very close to Franklin and Huonville shops, cafes and restaurants. Highly recommended.

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.

Orchard and Alpaca

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.

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 🙌🏽

Peaceful campsite with views

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.

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.
