Information

A large campground suitable for tent camping is available behind the dunes at Darlington with easy access to the beach.

Remember, you'll need to transport all your camping gear across on the ferry and from the jetty to the campground, so pack smart! Trolleys are available at the jetty to make this process easier.

The covered barbecue area has fireplaces to help you to keep warm in cold weather (firewood provided) and free gas barbecues. The campground is close to an amenities block with toilet facilities.

All water on Maria Island is not potable and treatment is required, use purification tablets or boil for at least one minute before use.

Bookings are not taken and there is sufficient space for all campers. Camping fees are payable at the Maria Island Gateway before you board the ferry.? Fees start at $7 per night for one person. A parks pass is required for entry to Tasmania’s national parks.

Maria Island is a remote island experience, there are no shops or cafes on the island. You will need to bring enough food and necessities for your stay. Stock up on basic supplies in Triabunna before you catch the ferry.

Check the weather forecast before you travel to ensure you have the appropriate clothing.
