A detailed listing can be found at the following link - campsites Tasmania If you can't find the answer you are looking for, send us an e-mail and we will try our best to help.

Q. Can I just turn up to free campsites in Tasmania?

A. Yes, but be aware that many sites are extremely popular and therefore you may arrive and find that there is no camping available.

Q. Is this common?

A. Yes, especially in more popular areas such as Bay of Fires, Coles Bay or Cradle Mountain.

Q. Can I camp wwith my dog or other pet?

A. In some sites yes. Each campsite listed on our site attempts to identify whether pets are allowed or not. Please note, pets are strictly prohibited in Tasmania's National Parks. Rangers patrol these parks, so please ensure pets are never taken into Tasmania's National Parks.

Q. How much are campsites in Tasmania?

A. It depends; many sites only allow you to stay for a maximum of 4-weeks. Check the listing of the campsite you are interested in for more information.

Q. Can I bring my caravan, camper trailer or motorhome and camp in Tasmania?

Q. Should we book campsites before arriving in Tasmania or can we just arrive and camp wherever we like?

A. Where possibel we always advise people to book in advance of coming to Tasmania. It is a common misconception that Tasmania is 'never booked out'. Many people arrive during peak periods and expect to be able to simply find accommodation, a free campground or camping area and are often left very disappointed and having to travel long distances to seek somewhere to stay.

Q. When is the best time to go camping in Tasmania?

A. Anytime, however we recommend you avoid peak periods such as Christmas, Easter, long-weekends and school holidays if at all possible. Of course, this isn't always possible - especially if you are taking the kids on a camping holiday in Tasmania during school holidays!

Q. What about the weather, I guess we should avoid camping in Tasmania in Winter?

A. Tasmania has 4 distinct seasons so camping at any time will be a unique expereince. Don't be put off by another common misconception that Tasmania is always cold, wet and miserable! However in saying that, if you intend camping in Winter in the middle of Tasmania's central highlands for example, you have to except for the weather to be cold and at times extremely inhospitable.
