Visits to Tasmania will not be complete without a camping trip. After all, it is a beautiful state with numerous beaches and national parks. So pack up your hiking gear, load up your tent, and get ready to camp out under the stars. The following are the Best Camping Spots in Tasmania:
Tasman National Park
The place is easy to reach since it’s near Hobart, the island’s capital. You will only need to take a 2-hour ride to get there so it is possible to go in the morning and return before nightfall. Of course, you can also stay overnight if you would like to see the gorgeous sunrise and sunset, then stargaze at night. Book your spot at the campsites in advance as these are limited. There are fireplaces and other amenities for the guests. If you are feeling adventurous, take a walk to Cape Raoul. It will take about 5 hours on an easy pace and give you stunning views of the peninsula.
Cradle Mountain Park
At one edge of the mountain is Lake St Clair which is a large and tranquil body of water suited for those looking for some peace and quiet. It is also an amazing spot to take landscape pictures. The mountains and the clouds are reflected in the clear waters for Instagram-worthy snaps. Check out the various photographs of the area online to imagine the possibilities. It is about four hours away from Hobart, though only two hours away from Launceston. Just like in Tasman, it would be prudent to book a spot in the camping site in advance.
Douglas-Apsley National Park
If you want a more secluded spot, then head over to this park which is located inland. You might be away from the coastline but there are still water features including freshwater pools hidden in the forest and secluded waterfalls that you can visit to cool down after a long hike. There are includible vistas almost everywhere you look. Check the map to see where the viewing platforms are located for optimal vision. You can stay during the day or extend for an overnight trip. It’s free so make the most of it.
Mount William Park
If you are still hungry for more scenic hikes, then this is the place to go. Take the best camera you have so that you can capture the incredible landscape and give them justice. You may also want to go fishing and have a feast with your catch. There are also kangaroos in the area that you can meet up-close. Walk along the coast and enjoy the ocean views. Stumpys Bay offers four campsites with basic amenities.
