Hi, we're thinking of going to Tassie at Xmas/Jan.
Has anyone got suggestions or recommendations for CPs or free camping spots
Cheers

@Bonners
Are you taking a van over with you?
My parents and brother with his family want to head over Christmas next year.
I was on the website the other night to see how much to take our Hilux and van over would be and it was around $3500 return! Cannot justify that! That was even going by off peak periods as the web only went up to June next year.

Nope... Not off can't remember the exact period but that was the price.Hey BJ,
(bugger Bulldogs just scored against Dragons)
yeah van towed with Terri, $620 car and van each way and we have 3 adults and one child, day tickets down, and same back but as it is a night trip ocean recliners, all up $2200.
Your price is way off.
cheers Bonners
Yes we worked on us and the 2 rug rats, so got a standard cabin (not shared for safety) and couldn't believe it. Just no way I could justify the cost. Will do it one day, but not for quite sometime.

We have just recently done 3 weeks in Tassie with our Camper Trailer. There were lots of great free camps, mostly suitable for vans or motor homes, not camper trailers. As a result, we didn't get to stay at a lot of them which is a shame.
I have a few tips for you though. In regards to the trip over. Don't take anything onboard you don't absolutely need. Leave everything in your car or van if you don't need it.
We went straight to the information centre at Devonport. They were so helpful, and even advised the best way to travel at that time. It was wet all down the west when we arrived so they advised to head east, and by the time we had got back around the weather was going to be good. You can get the National Park pass from here too.
First night we stayed at Narawntapu National Park. This was a great NP and I think it was only $12/night. Fires ok in designated spots. We definitely recommend Cosy Corner North over in the Bay of Fires. Free camp, great modern drop toilets and fires ok. Cosy Corner South looked ok too, but was full during a fishing comp.
Another free camp spot was near Freycinet National park not far off the main road near Coles Bay down a road called River Rocks Road (I can find the GPS co-ords for you if you like).
The other spot we highly recommend is Huon Valley Caravan Park (have a look for them on Facebook). Great grass camp grounds, ensuite type sites, and its a working farm and apple orchard. We seen platypus in the creek there aswell. Rowan and Leanne are their names. If you go there tell them we sent you (Nathan, Jodie and 3 kids from NSW, and our baby had a broken leg at the time). Their website is huonvalleycaravanpark.com.au
And one more spot, Quamby Corner. I forget the name of the town where it was near. That spot was really cheap. Free use of laundry (no coins needed), showers and fire pit. Really good spot, quite, in the country and a good base to visit the nearby Liffey Falls.
That's about all I can think of for now.
Sorry for the long winded post, but we absolutely loved touring around Tassie. This was on of the main reason we have decided to sell our CT and buy a van. We will be heading back over again one day.
