Tasmanian National Parks
As far as can be ascertained, there are no aboriginal
permits required anywhere within
Tasmania. Entry fees and
camping fees though apply in all Tasmanian National Parks. A range of entry
permits are available; In 2009 a daily permit for a 24 hour period is $22 per vehicle; a Holiday Pass is available for a 2 month period for $56; and an Annual All Parks Permit is available for $66 Low Season purchase or $90 High Season purchase – concession rates are available for the All Parks Permit.
Camping Fees
Camping fees vary markedly in cost. They can range between $10 per couple per night, to $22 per family per night (2 adults and up to 3 kids) depending on: the facilities offered within the Park; whether the area you intend to stay in is run by the Park Service or a commercial operator and of course whether you want a powered or unpowered site or simply a tent site. The cost for each child 5-17 is generally an extra $2.50 per night with kids under 5 free, and for each additional adult (18 and over) it is generally an additional $5 per night. Cabins and
accommodation Units are also available in some parks. Rates vary but start at about $44 per Unit and $30 per cabin for a couple and range up to $85 per couple per cabin. Some cabins are a rate per cabin for up to 6 and 8 people. Children and extra adults are additional charges in some cabins and Units of about $10 per child and $25 per adult per night. Some parks also offer a weekly
camping permit from about $50 for 1-2 adults plus an additional $25 for each additional adult and an additional $10 per child.
Peak Periods
In peak periods, some of the Parks operate a ballot system due to demand, so you may need to apply many months ahead of the anticipated date of your visit. Out of peak season however, some of those same areas simply operate self registration systems. So check the website which is noted below.
