Mt Field National Park Campground – Mt Field National Park (CG)

Listed by Australian Geographic as one of 18 best campgrounds in Australia, this campground is located within the Mt Field National Park. Camping and caravan facilities are available near the park entrance. The campground is set in a pleasant forest by the Tyenna River.

SITE ACCESS
Mt Field National Park is just over one hour’s drive from Hobart via New Norfolk. From Hobart, take the Brooker Highway (A10) north-west to New Norfolk. After New Norfolk you can follow the road on either side of the Derwent River (the A10 or B62) until you reach Westerway. From there it is a short drive along a winding bitumen road to the small township of National Park and the clearly marked entrance to Mt Field National Park.
The Lake Dobson carpark is up a further 16km of winding gravel road. Due to snow conditions, vehicles using this road may require chains; at times the road may be closed. Phone 6288 1319 for information on road conditions.

Please note: GPS Co-Ordinates are approximate and provided in most cases to get you as close to the camp site as possible, or to the National Park entrance. Once inside the park there should be signs to the actual camp grounds. Failing this please check with National Parks for further directions.
