Planning your trip

These campsites are run by Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service. A national parks pass is needed to visit most Tasmanian national parks, and some campgrounds take bookings or charge a site fee. Southwest camping covers the remote south-west of the state, which is largely walk-in country.

Weather in southern Tasmania changes quickly and can be cold and wet in any season. Some campsites appear more than once for different sections, so match the full name. Use the Tasmania Parks where-to-stay pages for passes, bookings and current alerts before you go. Freycinet and Maria Island are listed under the East Coast.
