Nice caravan park/camp site with power sites near Hobart

We spent time at Treasure Island a couple of years ago, found it very convenient. Not fancy but clean and the city bus service stops at the front so it is easy to travel in and around Hobart on Public transport. We travelled all day for about $3 each. There is a pub just nearby that has great meals and a large shopping centre for all your groceries just in the next suburb and also on the bus route.

Hi LER

What about the Hobart Showgrounds? We did not stay in Hobart, as we stayed with friends south of the city.

Hi LER,

We stayed at New Norfolk and drove back into Hobart from there. It was a busy place and because we didn't book, had to stay unpowered so it pays to phone ahead. Nice little place and very pretty, beside the river.

Snug is about the same distance away from Hobart, to the South, and is also a possibility but it also would be very busy over the Christmas period so essential to book. We spent a few days there when we were in Tassie earlier in the year. The Butchers shop in Snug is worth visiting for sure!

Buses run into Hobart from both New Norfolk and Snug at regular intervals, although we didn't use the service.

There is camping with powered sites at the Showground which is closer and cheaper. Haven't stayed there so can't tell you what it is like but it is in Camps book, and I think would be fine.

Regards,

Heather

We stayed in Barilla caravan park, over near the airport last time we were there. They run a bus to the city and back for New Years Eve.

If you are planning to go to town for NYE then I strongly suggest you book ahead for the Taste Of Tassie as that's the best place to be, and if you leave it too long you'll miss out.
