Hobart Treasure Island Cabin and Caravan Park Holiday Park Tasmania Australia

This location is closed

There are many places to stay on a visit to the capital of Tasmania. Treasure Island Cabin and Campervan Park is one option that offers tent, campervan, and cabin accommodations just outside of Hobart. This holiday park is located 12 kilometers north of Hobart’s central business district, along the banks of the River Derwent. The park is laid out on a peninsula on the shore of this wide river, so that its sites are close to the water. While the caravan park might be a drive from the city center, it is next door to one of Hobart’s biggest (and weirdest) draws, the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA).

Treasure Island Cabin and Caravan Park is a convenient base for exploring Hobart and the surroundings, and the holiday park boasts nice scenery of its own. To the east, you can look across a wide section of the River Derwent. Mount Faulkner rises to the west and Mount Wellington stands tall to the southwest. It’s not a bad place to set up camp while spending time in Hobart!

Directions: From Hobart, take Highway One north to the exit for Main Road (following directions for MONA). Turn right at the bottom of the offramp and drive 1.2 kilometers to Alcorso Road, which will be on the right. Take Alcorso Road to the holiday park at the end of the road.
