The best camping in Tasmania

Name: Tasmania
Address: Tasmania
Rating: 4.7615

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.

Weekend Trip to Valley's Nest

Valleys Nest made an impact on me and my partner Alana … the hidden oasis is clearly a bi-product and a testament to the essence and philosophy of its creators. There’s an obvious harmony with nature at the forefront of its build, a mission to rewild ourselves once again and to deepen our connection with the land we tread on everyday. Valleys nest was everything we hoped it would be, a fresh reminder of our role in the cosmos, a chance to stare up at the stars and remind yourself where you sit in that hierarchy. After 10 days of sleeping in our car travelling the full coast of Tasmania, this was the perfect reward for my brave partner who held her head high in many cold dark nights in the wilderness…

1 night at Valley's Nest

My boyfriend and I had the loveliest time at Valley’s Nest! We stayed during winter and despite majority of the accomodation being outside, with the amenities provided we were able to have an incredible time despite the chill :) The fireplace in the room swiftly warmed up the space, which consisted of a very comfortable bed and incredible views! The fire bath was an added bonus which really made the night for us. Thanks for having us Abby!

Weekend Trip to Prossers Ridge Richmond

We had a fantastic stay here. The campground is beautiful, well maintained, and clearly very well cared for. It’s so lovely and peaceful. The location is excellent—just a short drive from Richmond, which is a lovely historic town to wander around. There are plenty of things to see and do in the area, making it a great base for exploring. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing camping getaway.

2 nights at Cradle Mountain Fishery and Camping

What a wonderful place to stay! It was the highlight of Tasmania for us. So peaceful and beautiful. Proximity to Cradle Mountain National Park made it a perfect location to access the park and all activities there. In a couple of days our family also caught many, many trout on Scott's place. Looking forward to seeing all the amentity improvements that Scott has on the go, it can only get better!

1 night at Prossers Ridge Richmond

We loved our 3 nights at Prosser Ridge! We arrived well after dark, that can be tricky when visiting a new location, particularly, not knowing the area and having to manoeuvre a caravan in the dark. Communication was great! our directions to find the property and where to camp were easy to follow. This was our first time here. We were surprised with a beautiful vista in the morning overlooking the valley on both sides. Only a few minutes to the township of Richmond. Spacious camping areas. Well fenced - no wallaby and possum 💩 to tread in. Firewood available for purchase. TIP: We were towing an 18ft caravan, we used 4WD entering and exiting the property.

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.
