Australia has strict rules on sleeping in an RV overnight that is not in a designated camping area. Freedom camping, also known as wild or spontaneous camping, is generally not allowed in Tasmania.

However, Tasmania is an RV traveller’s paradise as far as RV parking is concerned. The small island is dotted with many designated camping areas provided by the Tasmanian Parks & Wildlife Service. Many of these campsites are free, including ones located in the National Parks, while others charge a small fee. To claim a spot, some run on a first-come, first-served basis while others require bookings ahead of time.

Motorhome Choice recommends parking overnight in campgrounds geared toward RVs by providing convenient amenities such as electrical and water hook-ups. These hook-ups allow campers to power their vehicles and use the on-board facilities such as the refrigerator, lights, electrical appliances and showers. Some campgrounds may also have dump stations where RV’s can dispose of their wastewater and sewage.

In addition to these practical amenities, many campgrounds also offer a variety of recreational activities and facilities that can make your trip even more enjoyable. These may include swimming pools, playgrounds, hiking trails, and recreation areas. Some campgrounds may also have on-site stores, cafes and rental facilities where campers can purchase supplies or rent equipment such as bikes or kayaks.

To hire a vehicle, all drivers must have a current and full driver’s licence. Foreign licences are acceptable if they are in English or accompanied by an accredited English translation. Otherwise, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required.

Several pet-friendly motorhome rental companies in Tasmania allow you to travel with your dog or cat. However, advanced prior approval is required and will usually incur a fee to cover the extra cleaning cost. Contact our support team to check if taking a pet on board a specific vehicle is possible.
