Looking for a spot to pitch your tent? Our campgrounds nestled amongst beautiful lakes and lagoons are perfect for your next adventure.

If you’re looking for a family-friendly campground with toilets and campfires, settle in at Tungatinah Lagoon Campground or Bradys Lake Whitewater Point Campground in the Central Highlands, or Lake Burbury Darwin Dam Campground on the West-Coast.

If you’re towing a caravan, the best spots are Penstock Lagoon and Wayatinah Lagoon Caravan Park (not managed by Hydro Tasmania).

Remember to stay safe when camping in the wilderness and respect the natural environment around you. Pay attention to signage and warnings, including any fire restrictions on the Tasmanian Fire Service website, as some activities like campfires are not permitted at every site. If you want to enjoy swimming, paddling or boating on our lakes and lagoons, check our lake levels first to plan your perfect getaway. Dogs are allowed at most campgrounds but not all (especially those in our National Parks)! Please check the recreational sites map for all the details before you leave home.
