This week, here’s ALL NEW listings around the country – to a bush camp and two new National Park camps in Queensland, then onto farmstays in Victoria and New South Wales. We wow you with a WA cidery and a gorgeous free camp beside an NT beach! Meanwhile our CAMPS Detective in frosty Tassie, Leisa, caught up for a chat with Dave and Nikki, owners of Serenity Camp (pictured). She was grateful for the diesel heater in their rig and the welcoming hot coffee. Serenity Camp is Site 56 in our Camps Pendium Tasmania book and on our Camps App.

High country free camp: Victoria Falls, Victoria

If you are looking for a pretty waterfall, then check out some of our camps beside waterfalls. Victoria Falls Campground is known more as a historical area rather than a waterfall – it was the site of Victoria’s first hydro electricity scheme. The history is interesting, but infrastructure was removed – just some concrete remains. Instead, park up and enjoy the serenity! This camp area has enough going for it, to visit in its own right. It has a beautiful little creek (see our video below) and bridge with picnic area, barbeques and toilet alongside. Plus you can bring your pets,

Camping

Free camp at JB Plain Hut in the Victorian High Country

JB Plain Hut is the first hut you will come across from Dinner Plain, only 1.8 km towards Hotham Alpine Village in Victoria High Country. Surprisingly, there were several RVs at the carpark entrance on the Great Alpine Road – and at least 4 tents around the hut and my favourite snow gums. One skier set up right on the edge of the plain. A beautiful spot! It is a walk-in site for tent camping – with a drop toilet. The two room hut is pretty rustic inside and out – there is a fireplace, the hut is only for
