Park your caravan beachside, mountainside, or amid vineyards in the Tasman capital.
Hemmed in between coast and mountains, Hobart is the ideal spot for urban campers to get outdoors. Drive your caravan over to Mount Wellington to enjoy back-to-nature camping with hiking and mountain biking trails on your doorstep, snag a riverside caravan campsite at Mount Field National Park, or take your motorhome or caravan over to Bruny Island on the ferry. Coastal campers will find plenty of options along the Tasman Peninsula, ideal for seaside hikes and kayaking excursions, and you can even camp right by the Port Arthur Historic Site. Tasmania's notoriously changeable weather makes caravan camping a smart choice for year-round camping—spring and fall are the best months to avoid the crowds without dealing with winter weather. Most caravan campgrounds offer decent facilities, including dump stations and electric hookups, but for full hookups and extra amenities, check into one of the many caravan parks or tourist parks.
