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. Walls of Jerusalem camping is for overnight walkers and involves a steep walk in, so read the parks page and prepare for alpine conditions.

Ben Lomond and the Walls of Jerusalem can see snow and freezing conditions well outside winter. Waterhouse is a coastal conservation area with several camping areas along the shore. Use the Tasmania Parks where-to-stay pages for passes, bookings and current alerts. Each campsite appears more than once for different sections, so match the full name. Arthur-Pieman and Narawntapu are listed under North West.
