Can You Take Your Caravan to Tassie?

  • Written by: Daily Bulletin



Tasmania, the island with stunning countryside, wanderlust scenery, rolling green hills and majestic waterfalls so perfect that even David Attenborough marvelled at her beauty. Tasmania knows what it's got and rolls out the red carpet for the road-tripping, view-devouring caravaning community.

When your search graduates from caravans for sale in Melbourne to caravan adventures in Tasmania, don't forget to pack your adrenaline and whimsical wonder.

Crossing the Bass Straight with your caravan takes some planning, so don't expect to just scoot over. The Spirit of Tasmania ferry from Geelong to Davenport requires booking 6 to 10 months in advance, and knowing the length from your car front bumper to the tail of your caravan. Choose your fare carefully between Spirit fare or Flex fare. The $84 extra for Flex adds a little insurance for flexibility and changes of plans if life happens. Spirit fare is non-refundable and subject to change fees. Flex is very flexible, with free changes and full refunds.

How do you want to experience Tasmania? Boasting over 50 caravan parks and off-road caravan facilities, choosing before you go means avoiding analysis paralysis. From glamping to being one with nature, create your own nature documentary by taking so many photos that your camera thinks it's the main character.

Have it all at Big 4 Kelso Sands Holiday Park in the Upper Tamar Valley. Park up your caravan and choose your own adventure. Enjoy Tamar River, Greens Beach, Bakers Beach and a solar-powered swimming pool. If you want to see nature during the day and pretend a wombat didn't just give you a casual wave as it wandered past your camper chair, this facility-rich caravan park is the perfect compromise.

Go off-road and tuck yourself away at the locally treasured campground of Lake Gardiner for the fully self-sufficient. Take it to the limit by taking advantage of the campsite along a secluded creek nearby. Go fishing for dinner after a day of kayaking. At night, count the stars and listen to nature sing its nocturnal musical. Privately owned and generously available, near the township of Moina.

Park up near 4WD tracks for the best of both worlds at the New Norfolk Caravan Park, with powered and unpowered sites all on the edge of the river esplanade. The nearby Intermediate 4WD track, Jeffrey Track at Wellington Range, will test your skills with inclines, rocky challenges and whimsical views of nature.

The hardest part of visiting Tasmania in your Off Road Caravans will be deciding which adventure to choose this time.
