Caravan parks in East Coast Tasmania

·

White sandy beaches, coastal cliffs, and blue waters provide an idyllic backdrop for a caravan road trip along Tasmania's east coast. Follow the 176-kilometre Great Eastern Drive from Orford in the south to St. Helens in the north, and hop out along the way to hike and kayak at Freycinet National Park, catch some waves along the Surf Coast, and swim and cruise at the beaches of the Bay of Fires. Campers have options ranging from holiday parks with full hookups, and pull-through sites suitable for large motorhomes to rustic coastal campgrounds or rural farm stays better suited for smaller campervans or self-sufficient campers. You can even drive over to Maria Island National Park or camp right by the beach at Mt. William National Park. Summer (December through March) is peak season for beach-hopping, but a spring or fall camping trip means fewer crowds and less traffic.

Stormlea, TAS · 1 site · Tent, RV
Bush camping beside a small lake on a 103-acre rainforest property. Only one person/group allowed at any time, so this an exclusive camping and bushwalking experience. Guests enjoy private walking-track access into the Tasman National Park, including routes toward Tunnel Bay/Shipstern Bluff. Early check-in and/or late check-out is fine. Your own small bathroom is available (with toilet and sink - hot water). Fresh drinking water is provided. Free Wifi access near the residence, otherwise patchy Optus and Telstra around the block. You can charge your devices at no cost. The driveway is not suitable for large campervans. Two-wheel drive vehicles are generally fine, but care is required. There is an opportunity for an extended stay in exchange for light gardening work, by prior discussion. This is a private residence in a uniquely quiet and secluded location on the edge of a high-value national park. Playing loud music or behaving in a drunken, antisocial, or otherwise disrespectful manner will result in the owner contacting the police. Please keep this in mind before booking to avoid any issues. Due to serious fire risk and the potentially devastating impact on the surrounding area, campfires are highly restricted and permitted only in safe weather conditions, as determined by the owner. This property offers a rare opportunity to experience a truly special part of the world in peace. No crowded car parks. No tourists. No noise. The nearest neighbour is 1 km away. With no light pollution and sweeping views toward the Southern Ocean, it’s an exceptional spot for stargazing—and even for seeing the Aurora, which can occur here (check Aurora alerts for updates). You’ll have access to your own private walking track into the national park, along with a vast natural area to explore. The property is largely undisturbed temperate rainforest, featuring creeks, springs, a 35-metre waterfall (after good rain), incredible plant and animal diversity, and countless places to wander at your leisure. You may spot a resident Tasmanian devil, and you’ll certainly be surrounded by native marsupials—plus the odd enthusiastic greeting from my doodle dog, Roo.

"Quoll Hideaway - Bruny Island Bush & Beach Camping" is our slice of paradise and we are looking forward to sharing it with you. New! Aug 2024: the site now has a flat patch for campers visiting 🏕️ The plot is nearly 3 acres and is earmarked conservation land and surrounded by neighbouring conservation land. This is your perfect lunawuni/Bruny Island escape! It is tucked away from the no-through gravel road and surrounded by Australian bush and wildlife with filtered water views of D'Entrecasteaux Channel and 100 m from the beach. It's a tranquil heaven yet so close to all the famous Bruny sites and must dos: Bruny oysters, beer and cheese (why not bring some to the campsite to enjoy?) The Neck, Truganini Lookout + penguins! Cape Queen Elizabeth Track and other hiking trails Adventure Bay and *white wallabies (*we give you a map on where to go to find the white wallabies!!) South Bruny, and the Light house When you book our site, you have it all to yourself! Except for sharing it with the wildlife, of course. As the name suggests, there is a family of quolls living on the land and you are very likely to see them! Once dusk arrives and the stars start lighting up the sky, the quolls usually come out to say hi before they start their night activities. Joining the quolls, are the potoroos who are not afraid to come up close and sniff your feet in curiosity. If you are yet to see a quoll and a potoroo in the wild, this is your campsite! Other wildlife includes the endangered Forty Spotted Pardalote and critically endangered Swift Parrots. To access the beach, simply walk through the property to the end of the plot and follow the path. There is an echidna living near the road so keep an eye out for her. The campsite is a perfect spot to see wildlife, and birds, and for photography. On the campsite is a large outdoor kitchen with two sinks. Wait... is there a bathtub? Yes! The bathtub is great for a bush shower (byo solar shower) as the taps are not connected. You must bring your own toilet. Rainwater is available too, we have two tanks! Campfires are allowed but you cannot collect firewood on the property. Please bring your own firewood or add it at the time of booking and we will provide you with firewood for your stay. The land is a conservation area and quolls are known to live in up to 5 nests. They live under the logs and it is an important habitat for the species. We love the quolls and know you will too so please do not disturb their homes. The site is excellent for stargazing once nightfall arrives. Simply BYO a hammock (we have prepared the setup!) and lie down to watch the stars with a glass of red or a hot chocolate. We recommend campervans for the site and it's only suited to self-contained campers leaving no trace behind. Available on-site and free to use are also a director's chair and a table. The kitchen is also equipped with a double sink, dish rack, two buckets, BBQ tools, cutlery, and a dustpan. There is also a cleaning kit with biodegradable spray, hand sanitizer, and soap. There are also a set of caravan/van leveling ramps and chocks for you to freely use. The site is perfect for those wishing to find privacy amongst an otherwise busy Island. Escape the tourists and experience Bruny Island like a local. Questions? Please reach out!
