The best camping in Tasmania

·

Tasmania is Australia in miniature—mist-shrouded lakes, craggy mountain peaks, and golden beaches all lie within a day’s drive of Hobart. National parks and reserves cover more than 40% of the island, affording outdoor lovers ample opportunities to hike, mountain bike, swim, or kayak. Tassie weather is as changeable as its natural landscapes, but each season brings a new highlight, from sunny summer strolls and springtime wildflowers to autumnal woodlands and snowy mountains. The island has a huge variety of camping options, from fully equipped caravan parks to simple bush camping, making it easy to plan multi-day hikes and road trips.

Camp Sandford

Sandford, TAS · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
A campsite all to yourself! Camp Sandford is located on our 2-acre bushland property, nestled in the heart of the South Arm Peninsula. Family- and pet-friendly (well-behaved pets only), children can enjoy the cubby house, and the attached mud kitchen can even double as a spot to wash dishes — sounds like a job for the young ones! With several surf beaches within a 5–10 minute drive, beautiful Mortimer Bay just a short, flat walk away, and private access to the Tangara Trail — offering 250 km of recreational trails through bushland and coastal reserves — you won’t be short of adventures. The local wildlife may come by to say hello. We regularly see wallabies, robins, and bandicoots, with occasional visits from echidnas, peregrine falcons, collared sparrowhawks, blue-tongue lizards, and even a snake or two (something to keep in mind during the warmer months). There is easy access for caravans and trailers, and tents are very welcome. Guests must bring their own toileting system or choose to rent the camp toilet tent when booking. At this stage, we can offer 10-amp power, but all water must be BYO. Caravans may require levellers due to a very mild slope on the site, though they are not essential. A fire pit is available during non-fire-ban periods. There is enough space for two caravans if you'd like to book with friends. Strictly no parties or amplified music. This is also our family home, though the campsite is screened from our house by trees and shrubbery, so noise should be kept to a minimum after 9 pm. Driving times: • Lauderdale (closest shops and cafés): 10 mins • Clifton Beach (surfing): 10 mins • Hobart Airport: 20 mins • Coal River Valley wine region: 25 mins • Hobart CBD: 30 mins (outside peak traffic hours)

Pine Ridge has been developed over the years to be a natural park land with a good variety of local vegetation including stands of mature trees. lower scrub has been removed for physical and viewing access and to keep the property more secure and manageable. The vegetation also provides significant protection on windy days compared to many other open places. Native animals and birdlife abound the location. There is a community pergola area beside the substantial water hole which has a small jetty allowing easy access for swimming. There is also a stone barbecue and fire pit area available on suitable weather conditions. There are ocean views from the property's main road areas, which also provide a large area of flatish firm ground with large areas providing easy maneuverability and turning.

The corner of the property is only 50 meters from the park edge, with the Parks main access several km further along Rosedale Rd. The turn off is only 2 km from the town edge. It is sealed road except for the last 100meters and in good condition. FIRES. Ok unless a fire ban. GOOD BAGS OF WOOD ON SITE FOR $20. NO OUTSIDE WOOD CAN BE BROUGHT ONTO THE PROPERTY AND BURNT.

Tasmania camping guide

Where to go

Hobart and the South

The island capital is a strategic base from which to explore the south coast, Port Arthur, and the Coal River Valley wine region. Spot Tasmanian devils along the Tasman Peninsula, camp out among the mountains and waterfalls of Mount Field National Park, or cruise  to Bruny Island to pitch your tent by the beachside and hit the surf.

West Coast

Jagged mountains, tangled forest trails, and hidden waterfalls draw hikers to Tasmania’s UNESCO World Heritage–listed wilderness. Set out from Queenstown and enjoy the scenery, wildlife, and rustic camping sites, where you can get back to nature.

East Coast

Ready for an epic road trip? Follow the 220-kilometre Great Eastern Drive along Tasmania's East Coast, from St. Helens to Orford and break it up with coastal walks, beach strolls, and wine tasting. To the north, the Bay of Fires’ white-sand beaches are fringed with bright orange, lichen-covered rocks. At the southern end, the pink mountains of Freycinet National Park provide a prime backdrop for bushwalking and camping, with options from basic campsites to luxury glamping retreats.

Launceston and North

Launceston is the gateway to northern Tasmania, where you can hop between colonial towns, sample Tassie wines in the Tamar Valley, or catch coastal views and diverse wildlife at the Narawntapu and Mt. William national parks.

North West

The glacial lakes and wildflower-carpeted moorlands of Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park are northern highlights, watched over by the much-photographed Cradle Mountain. Ambitious hikers can tackle the popular 65-kilometre Overland Track. On the north coast, boats from Melbourne arrive in Devonport, from where you can set out along the coast or follow the Cradle to Coast Tasting Trail.
