There are many places to stay on a visit to the capital of Tasmania. Treasure Island Cabin and Campervan Park is one option that offers tent, campervan, and cabin accommodations just outside of Hobart. This holiday park is located 12 kilometers north of Hobart’s central business district, along the banks of the River Derwent. The park is laid out on a peninsula on the shore of this wide river, so that its sites are close to the water. While the caravan park might be a drive from the city center, it is next door to one of Hobart’s biggest (and weirdest) draws, the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA).
The Treasure Island Cabin and Caravan Park offers non-powered tent sites, powered campervan sites, cabins, and on-site vans. The prices fluctuate seasonally, so call the Hobart office at (03) 6249 2379 for current prices.
The reception office is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. (if you are going to arrive a little late, just call ahead).
The holiday park has multiple amenities blocks with bathrooms, showers (complimentary to guests), and laundry. You should find clean bathrooms with satisfyingly strong water pressure in the showers. The kitchens have all the basic amenities, as well as indoor and outdoor dining areas and barbecue grills. For those traveling in RVs, the holiday park also has a dump station and a car wash area. Pets are not allowed, but there are plenty of ducks on the property.
Treasure Island Cabin and Caravan Park is a convenient base for exploring Hobart and the surroundings, and the holiday park boasts nice scenery of its own. To the east, you can look across a wide section of the River Derwent. Mount Faulkner rises to the west and Mount Wellington stands tall to the southwest. It’s not a bad place to set up camp while spending time in Hobart!
Directions: From Hobart, take Highway One north to the exit for Main Road (following directions for MONA). Turn right at the bottom of the offramp and drive 1.2 kilometers to Alcorso Road, which will be on the right. Take Alcorso Road to the holiday park at the end of the road.
