Crayfish Creek Van & Cabin Park

Never ever will we camp here again!! The girls built a tiny cubby house out of 3 fern leaves that someone had cut down and the 2 males that inspect the park blamed the girls for destroying the habitat and made them cry because they were so mean also said we would loose our bond because of the fire pit which they inspected once we set up and they charged us a $15 inspection fee that we didn’t know about u til we realised we have been charged twice, so nearly $600 for 3 nights the fire is tiny compared to others and we don’t have any music going or doing the wrong thing!! When I went to reception after the girls took the cubby down I was met by both the owners and again the man verbally attacked me u til I was in tears and his wife told him to cut it and and pushed him into another room. We spoke to a lot of people that were there camping over the weekend and they won’t be going back because of similar issues!! Dale and his son are certainly nasty people and we will never support them again!

We stayed here for three nights on an unpowered site. There are lots of sites, but all ‘tucked into’ trees, etc. so pretty private. There are some tight turns on some of the areas and interesting pathways. We found it a quiet and restful place to spend our time and is in an excellent location for day trips to the surrounding areas. It is a lovely rustic bushland setting alongside a picturesque tidal creek and sandy beach. We didn’t, unfortunately, see any Pademelons or possums but there was plenty of birdlife. The amenities were basic, and you do need coins (20c/$1) for the two showers but they functioned well. There was a large camp kitchen which we only used for our Nespresso, but seemed to have plenty of cooking equipment around. . We walked down to the creek a couple of times and excellent to be there for sunset. Good stay all round.

We stayed in the Spa House which is no longer listed on their website as available to book so I won't review it. Crayfish Creek is a great location to base yourself to visit the many attractions of Tasmania's north west. These include Wynyard, Table Cape, Stanley, Smithton, Dip Falls, Trowutta Arch and The Tarkine Rainforest.

Crayfish Fish Creek cabin park is a rustic bush setting adjacent to a stunning tidal creek and sandy beach. Huge grassy sites visited by pademelons in the evening and birds during the day. The toilet and shower block is dated but functions well. The Camp Kitchen is HUGE and would be very comfortable in cold, wet windy weather. The place is close to Stanley with the famous Nut and Highfield House and Boat Harbour with its beautiful sandy beach. Dip Falls and the Big Tree are located a short drive away and the Blue Hills Honey Farm serves excellent coffee and cakes for morning tea! The cabin park is quiet, protected from road noise and coastal winds and we will definitely be back when visiting the North again.

The management is amazing! I had booked an onsite van and got an excellent upgrade to a two story cabin that cost less than renting bedding would have! Had a great stay and highly recommend

Set in a very relaxed and tranquil location, cabins are unique and nestled in amongst beautiful trees and ferns. the park is across the road from a small beach and located between smithton and Burnie and very close to Stanley. It has everything you could want from free dvds and cds to a unique fully equipped community kitchen shed with bbq. The owners were kind and friendly and it was a pleasure to meet them and stay at the crayfish. Very relaxing stay, highly recommended.

Cabins very ordinary. Camp kitchen ok. Toilets ok, showers were for a fee and not worth it. Whole park smelled of septic toilet system. Nice setting but very cool in the shade. Had to pay for fire pot. Won’t be back.

Cabin smelt stale on entry not the cleanest. Single bunks only one sheet on bed which was too big for bed looked disgusting could sleep with just doona as not sure how clean it was. Blanket on lounge smelt like smelly shoes.

Love this place. A perfect balance of traditional caravan park amenities and conveniences, and secluded bush camping. Owners are lovely, friendly and willing to help out to ensure your stay is the best it can be. Location is great for exploring the region, or just staying close to camp to enjoy the nearby beach, river and walks. Well worth adding to your agenda. Give yourself several days to enjoy and appreciate what this gem of a spot has to offer
