Rivers Edge is 24 acres of forest on the banks of the Leven River in Gunns Plains, Tasmania. We are in our own little valley surrounded by tall forests. Preston Creek flows all year through our property and meets the large Leven River where your campsite is situated. Perfect for trout fishing, platypus watching, bird watching or catching the sun setting through the trees on the river bend. There are even the endangered black fresh water crayfish. The site is large enough for up to 5-6 caravans for large bookings, and we only take one booking at a time, so its exclusively yours. We are only 20km to the nearest town, Ulverstone which as everything you need. The road is close by the campsite with easy access to find the property. No toilet facilities at the site. Sat TV is good and limited mobile reception. Telstra works best we've found. River access over a rocky, uneven embankment as it's a natural, untouched environment, just how we and the native animals like it. Campfires ONLY PERMITTED when fire restrictions aren't in place. You absolutely must make sure your campfire is fully extinguished before you leave. Please check "My Trips" (in your profile) for directions once confirmed. Look for the 'Rivers Edge' sign on the entrance gate, then you know youve got the right site and not the neigbours property (which is along side mine on the river) Well behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept with you at all times, no roaming dogs as the road is close by. We love the peace and serenity here so please no unruly behaviour or parties.

The best camping in Walls of Jerusalem National Park, TAS guide

Overview

About

Embark on a journey to the Walls of Jerusalem National Park, a haven for avid hikers and nature enthusiasts. Traverse through ancient pencil pine forests, ascend craggy dolerite peaks, and rest by serene highland lakes. With multi-day treks offering immersive camping experiences, this park is a true wilderness adventure. Prepare to be captivated by the rugged beauty and solitude of Tasmania's high country.

Notable campgrounds

  • Wild Dog Creek campsite: A gateway to the Central Walls, offering a base amid the alpine splendour.
  • Lake Adelaide Campsite: Nestled by the lake, it's an idyllic spot for those seeking tranquillity in nature.
  • Dixons Kingdom campsite: Camp amid history and pencil pines, close to the iconic Dixons Kingdom Hut.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early to secure your spot, as these coveted campsites fill up quickly during peak seasons.
  • Consider visiting during shoulder seasons for better availability and a quieter experience.
  • Keep an eye on cancellations, as last-minute openings can be your ticket to this alpine paradise.
  • Explore nearby camping options to ensure you have a backup plan if sites within the park are full.

When to go

The best time to visit Walls of Jerusalem National Park is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is milder and tracks are more accessible. Winter brings heavy snowfall, making it a challenging time for hiking and camping. Always check the forecast and be prepared for sudden weather changes, as conditions can be unpredictable year-round.

Know before you go

  • Register your walk before setting out to ensure park authorities are aware of your presence.
  • Be prepared for alpine conditions; carry a map, compass, and personal locator beacon for safety.
  • Respect the fragile environment by staying on marked tracks and using designated campsites.
  • Carry out all trash to protect the park's pristine natural resources and wildlife.
  • Ensure you have a valid parks pass, which is required for entry into Tasmania's national parks.
