Great location with plenty of space to set up your own campsite. We used Semaphore as a base to explore the peninsula and really enjoyed our stay. The cherries for sale on the road into Semaphore were a nice bonus, and we loved being able to bring our dog along. We were camping in a tent and would recommend.

We had a great stay here, no complaints whatsoever. The owner is lovely, she gave us interesting information about the property and Port Arthur area in general. The site has a toilet, hot shower, big undercover area for cooking (kitchen taps also had hot water!), camp fires allowed, beautiful views and walking distance from the historic site – so good. Well priced, definitely recommend 🙂

Our second stay at Semaphore Farm. Lovely quiet location central to all the local attractions and activities. A great hipcamp, very well run by the camp hosts.

Great location, walking distance to the beach, everyone is friendly, being able to have camp fire, shower and toilet is basic but that’s the great thing about camping, safe for kids to ride bikes, run around and play on tyre swing.

Beautiful campsite with an even more beautiful host, the lovely lady does a talk when you arrive and tells you more about where your staying/the history and this also gives you a chance to get to know other people who are staying near by if you choose to! Also the shower was amazing so warm and just what we needed half way through our trip! Has a toilet too (long drop) but one of the cleanest I’ve seen! Also they don’t over book the site and have a fire pit for everyone with the option of buying a fair priced amount of wood. 100% recommend this site!

Sempahore Farm-a fabulous camp. Camping at Semaphore Tree Farm was beautiful and most enjoyable. Property owner Marian is just lovely, she has wealth of knowledge on the farm and the general Port Arthur/Tasman Peninsula area which she is more than happy to share. The hot shower, spring water, and camping kitchen were very appreciated, even the long drop was a good one! The camping pads were a good distance apart, and the whole area is surrounded by trees with plenty of wildlife. Just a short walk to the beach, or short drive into Port Arthur village. The scenery of the Tasman Peninsula is to be seen to be believed!! Stunning! Our stay was beautifully quiet and so relaxing…and far too short! I will be back then again as soon as possible!

This was the maiden voyage for our new caravan and we could not have picked a better site! The welcome was lovely. The place was ever so spacious (quiet at night) and the view was just stunning. The walks from this site are truly lovely and I can’t recommend it enough. I must say yes it’s rustic but to be a part of nature and still have a Campers Kitchen (with everything) a warm shower and a long drop toilet with character it’s worth the trip
