Weekend Trip to Smithton Tourist Park

We don’t usually do caravan parks but booked here after arriving in Tassie from the ferry as we wanted a guaranteed spot for the night, being December peak season. Excellent location and value for money. The lady at reception was super helpful with recommendations for things to do in the area. Just note reception closes at 6pm, not 10pm (currently listed on Hipcamp).
