Tasmanian National Parks

Entry fees and camping fees apply in all Tasmanian National Parks. A range of entry permits are available; In 2008 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 vary markedly in cost. They can range between $6 per couple per night, to $15 per family per night, and up to $45 per couple per night 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.

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. The Tasmania National Parks Visitor Information Service is contactable Monday to Friday on: 1300 135 513. The direct number for the Park Entry section is: (03) 6233 2621.
