Campground | Huon Bush Retreats

Huon Bush Retreats campground is not your average campground. We offer unpowered tent, campervan and camper trailer sites in an extensive habitat reserve with modern, spacious amenities, all the equipment you’ll need to cook up a storm, a five kilometre network of bushwalks and the opportunity for an outdoor bath under the stars.

Each tent site is private and surrounded by Huon Bush Retreat’s protected native forest. Individual campervan sites provide level parking for a comfortable nights sleep, are located close to amenities and are also surrounded by native bushland. HBR Gallery requires one large at least two small images.

Shower and Toilet Block

Our amenities block is clean, modern and spacious. It is equipped with Natureloo composting toilets, hot showers and a laundry trough. There is one disabled shower and toilet that meets full wheelchair standards. This outdoor bath is available to campground and tipee guests. The campground outdoor bath can be booked for a period of a couple of hours after you arrive (it cannot be pre-booked).

Camp Kitchen

Designed to take full advantage of fantastic mountainside views the mud brick and laserlight outdoor entertainment area boasts a well equipped kitchen with barbeque, full gas range, oven, basic utensils, crockery, cutlery and a fire drum (we supply firewood). There is no fridge but eskies are usually available on request (BYO ice).

Link

We live up to our name as a bush retreat. End of valley privacy is protected by 4km winding gravel road, steep in sections. You do not need 4WD but you do need to be comfortable driving on gravel roads.

Eco-friendly facilities include carbon neutral wood heating, natural water and composting toilets.

Electricity is 12-volt solar, there is no 240 volt electricity. There are USB outlets for charging small devices.

Although there is plenty of electricity for sensible use, if you totally waste it (such as leaving lights turned on all day), the batteries will be exhausted until the next sunshine. If your idea of a great holiday includes needlessly adding to the CO2 pollution of the planet by leaving your lights on all day, you might prefer a non-eco-responsible property that is connected to a coal fired power station.

Laptops and cameras can be charged at reception, with limited availability, or we can sometimes provide an invertor that makes small quantities of 240volt electricity.

A CD player and radio is provided. Rooms are free from technology such as TV, WiFi, phones, aircon, electric blankets, microwaves and hairdryers. Most Telstra and Optus mobile phones work fine.

Water comes from natural sources. We do not add any chemicals. The water might be tannin stained. Each cabin and the camp kitchen are equipped with sub-micron filters that the manufacturers say remove 99.99% of all known organisms.

You will be surrounded by wildlife of all sorts, including birds, mammals, arthropods and reptiles. Animals do sometimes enter the cabins and tipees (Arachnophobes and Allergics might prefer a city hotel).
