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.

2 nights at Woodleigh - where beach meets bush
We had the great pleasure of staying at Woodleigh for 2 nights. The spot was amazing . Beautiful grassed area next to a stream . Waves crashing just over the road. Lovely camp fire and beautiful gardens. Great place for our dog to roam and very close to the most beautiful beach. Only 2 campsites here so very private. Host was wonderful and welcomed us with her home made Berry jam and brought over firewood . This is a must stay. Don't miss it.

Weekend Trip to Quoll Hideaway - Bruny Island Bush & Beach camping
Very peaceful and private space, lots of wildlife and a wonderful beach walk across the road from the camp. Fantastic for well behaved dogs. Camp Kitchen was spacious and well protected from wind and rain. Linda went above and beyond in hosting us and great communication. The firewood provided was dry and plentiful.

This space was so wonderfully private and peaceful. The hobbit hut really separates this space from others, and makes camping here even more special, and it’s helpful for keeping things dry overnight if needed. It’s a great location on the island, too. Highly recommend this beautiful spot!

The best camping in Hartz Mountains National Park, TAS guide

Overview

About

Venture into the heart of Tasmania's wilderness at Hartz Mountains National Park, where ancient glaciers have sculpted a landscape of dramatic peaks and serene lakes. Here, adventurers can embark on a journey through alpine herbfields, gaze upon the stunning red blooms of the Tasmanian waratah, and spot a diverse array of wildlife. With a range of walks from leisurely strolls to challenging treks, the park offers an unforgettable experience for every kind of explorer.

When to go

The best time to visit Hartz Mountains National Park is during the warmer months, from October to April, when the park's flora is in full bloom and the weather is more conducive to hiking. Winter brings its own stark beauty, but be prepared for snow, which can limit access and make trails more challenging.

Know before you go

  • Always check the weather forecast and be prepared for sudden changes, especially in alpine areas.
  • Ensure you have a valid parks pass before entering the park.
  • Register your walk at the booth beside the main car park for safety.
  • Remember, this is a Fuel Stove Only Area; fires are prohibited to protect the environment.
  • Accessible facilities are available, including toilets and shelters designed for disabled access.

Worth a look.
Roads were getting done while we were there. Worth a look. Drop into the woodboat shed in Franklin on the way past and get a guided tour was exceptional.
