Magic View Wilderness Retreat

1 site · RV, Tent1 acre · Zeehan, TAS

Private tent site on deck situated above the town of Zeehan. Enjoy the peace and quiet and don't pay top rates. We have a newly built deck ideal for setting up a tent off the ground, looking over the mountains and township of Zeehan. The deck is 5.3 x 5.3, with several metres of cleared land around the deck, so there is plenty of space to set up, be it on the deck or the level ground. There is also a small shelter and park bench for your use. It is easily accessed from the road, and a perfect spot to sit back and relax among the trees and sleep under the stars. There are no facilities here, so you need to be self-contained. There is however water and toilets available in town, a short trip down the road, along with IGA grocery store, pubs, Historical Centre and options for boating, fishing, hiking and even white water rafting. Campfires are permitted in the designated area, and firewood is included. And pets welcome!

Little Gem Campground

1 site · RV, Tent1 acre · Gormanston, TAS

Little Gem Campground in Gormanston Tasmania is a small but beautiful 1/4 acre of bush. There is the gorgeous bubbling Linda Creek head waters on your left as you enter the property. It feels so much bigger with no fences and bush on two sides. Pets are welcome, but please remember there are no fences and all pet waste needs to be taken away. The property is only suitable for self contained campers as there are no facilities. There is a public dump point opposite the intersection of Bent St and Lyell HWY Queenstown. There are many attractions near by, such as: - 10min drive to Queenstown - Iron Blow Lookout 2km away - Only 7min to the stunning Lake Burbury - 12min to Thureau Hills concrete boat ramp on Lake Burbury - 4.8km to the famous Mt Owen MTB Trails As the property is mostly bush, there is nowhere for large vehicles to turn around, so it is best in that case to back in.

Cradle Mountain Fishery and Camping

7 sites · RVs, Tents50 acres · Moina, TAS

Camp and fish just a stonesthrow from one of Tasmania's most stunning natural landscapes, Cradle Mountain. Here you'll find nature at its best, just 10 minutes drive from the Cradle Mountain Visitors centre, the perfect base for discovering this magical area. Our campsites are on scenic, levelled areas overlooking the large dam and bushland, with grassed areas ideal for tents and camper-vans, and a portaloo a short walk away. The block is a natural timber and grassland block, with devils, quolls and wombats also residing here. We have one powered site available, and multiple unpowered sites. There is a lovely walking track around the dams periphery. Feed fish from the edge, spot platypus frolicking about, and keep your eye out for Peacocks wandering the property too. Whilst you are welcome to bring your dog with you, please ensure they don't harass the wildlife. A keen fisher? Throw a line in at our other dam and catch your dinner! Nothing beats fresh fish, that you caught yourself, cooked on a campfire.

Camping near Queenstown guide

Overview

The largest town in western Tasmania is known for its mining heritage and natural wonders. Hemmed in by the rugged coast of Macquarie Harbour to the west and Tasmania's vast World Heritage Wilderness Area to the east, Queenstown is ideally situated for outdoor adventures. Perched on the Queen River, there are lakes, conservation areas, and regional reserves within minutes of the town centre, affording plenty of options for bushwalking, boating, and mountain biking. Hike to Horsetail Falls, go white-water rafting along the King River, then rent a cabin or book a campsite at the town’s holiday park.

Where to go

Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park

Less than a 2-hour drive from Queenstown, Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park is one of Tasmania’s most visited national parks. Challenge yourself to hike part of the legendary Overland Track, admire the views from Cradle Mountain, and look out for wild Tasmanian devils, platypus, echidna, wombats, and more. There are several campgrounds to choose from, with both powered and unpowered sites available.

West Coast

The most scenic way to reach the west coast is by taking a ride on the West Coast Wilderness Railway, which chugs its way through dense rainforest and river gorges all the way to Strahan. From here, set sail on a cruise along the Gordon River, hike to Hogarth Falls, or explore the west coast beaches. Ocean Beach is the longest in Tasmania and is fringed by dramatic dunes.

Lake Burbury

Just east of town, Lake Burbury sits on the cusp of the Wilderness Area. Escape the crowds along its tranquil shores to enjoy some of Tasmania’s best wild trout fishing, bring your boat or kayak to cruise the lake, and snag one of the unpowered tent or campervan sites at the lakeside campground.

When to go

Tasmania misses out on the soaring temperatures of the Australian mainland, making the warm summer months (December through February) the best time for camping and outdoor activities. Alternatively, visit in early autumn to admire the foliage and colourful wild mushrooms that blanket the rainforest. The west coast gets more than its fair share of wind and rainfall from April through September, so winter campers might want to leave the tent at home.
