Great spots around the East Coast of Tassie. Everything from Coles Bay to "The Gardens" (North East of St Helens) is brilliant.

Rocks and River CA just before Coles Bay but North East of Swansea is pretty great.

Chain of Lagoons, between Bicheno and St Helens is amazing, but a little far from either of the nearest towns - a long way to go for ice, water or supplies. Still amazing beaches and great camping. Very spread out and plenty of little corners to claim as one's own!

Jennereat Beach and Cosy Corner, North East of St Helens are TO DIE FOR. Close to St Helens (10 minute drive) but also close to Binalong Bay with a divine 5* restaurant and other amenities. Great facilities within camping areas including clean drop toilets and built-in fire places. I would recommend this to anyone looking for absolute beach-front camping on an ocean that looks like the Tropics. Maybe slightly cooler, but warm enough for a swim, even in Spring! Water is aquamarine, sand is white, rock formations are grey and VIVID orange and there is not a cloud in the sky! Anyone who visits is bound to return!

Some Tasmanian Campsites

The following campsites are ones that I stayed at in Tasmania. There were many more but back then I was not trying to update this site. Also I have no GPS references for these sites and no maps.

Interlaken

On Lake Sorell. There were no fees but the campsite had toilet facilities.

Lake Purbury

South of Queenstown. There are no facilities but you may catch a trout if you are lucky.

Hellyer

Travelling West towards Hellyer on the North coast there is a campsite next to the river on the right hand side over the road from the caravan park just before the river bridge. We camped there for a couple of nights without any issues. There are no facilities but it is free.

Fortesque Bay

The campsite is on the Eastern sid eof the Tasman Peninsula.

Hi all

My partner and I have camped all over Tassie and we have a website which may interest Kombi campers.

Real Tasmania

We discuss a lot of places where you can just pull in and camp, including our own unique rating system. We will be adding more as we visit them, so check back often.

Thanks Westair for allowing us to link here Very Happy
