We loved our stay at Prossers Ridge. Perfect for our van. Fabulous views and close to Richmond. We used the place as a base for 6 nights to explore Richmond Port Arthur Maria Island wine tasting at Pooley Winery and golf at the Coal Valley Golf Course. Great and easy to follow instructions from Paul. Highly recommend this place for all types of camping. 10/10 (a little windy but not much you can do about the weather and you are on a ridge)

Weekend Trip to Heron Cove, Bruny Island

We enjoyed staying on Dennis and Georgina's property. It was gorgeous facing the water and we got to see a friendly Wallaby and an eastern quoll come out at night. Just magical! Thank you for your hospitality. We would love to come back and stay again the next time we're back on Bruny island.

1 night at Ladychapel Camp Grounds

We stayed at this camp and would recommend it highly. We towed our 18ft caravan to the top of the hill. The ground was firm and we had a lovely sea view. Nigel gave us some of his local knowledge and our 3 nights spent at this camp were very quiet.

The best great views camping in East Coast Tasmania guide

Where to go

North-East Tasmania

Start your East Coast road trip in the north, where spectacular views and wildlife sightings await at the Bay of Fires—there are even free camping spots to be found. To the north, the striking coastline of Mount William National Park is ablaze with wildflowers through spring and summer, and it’s the ideal time for snorkelling and scuba diving. Further south, St Helens and the Surf Coast is the place to surf, hike, and fish along the coast.

Freycinet

Three of the East Coast’s national parks are found along the southern stretch of coast, starting with the hugely popular Freycinet National Park. Hiking, sea kayaking, and snorkelling are fun ways to explore Wineglass Bay and the surrounding coastline, and the beach camping is second to none. Nearby, there’s forest hiking and camping at Douglas Apsley National Park and car-free camping near the painted cliffs of Maria Island National Park.

Tasman Peninsula

Dangling off Tasmania’s southeast corner, the Tasman Peninsula is dominated by towering sea cliffs. Explore the coastal hikes, hidden sea caves, and windswept beaches of the Tasman National Park, uncover Tasmania’s convict history at the Port Arthur Historic Site, or tackle some of the island’s most epic surf. You’ll find great camping in and around the national park or, for a more local experience, the peninsula is also peppered with Hipcamps.
