Paradise Lagoon

6 sites · RVs60 acres · Coles Bay, TAS
Welcome to Paradise Lagoon! Here you can stay 30 metres back from the foreshore of Pelican Bay. Unfortunately you cannot see the beautiful bay view from the campsite. You can simply walk 30 metres and take your chairs and esky and spend the day marveling at the views and bird life, or even grab the kayak and paddleboard for some healthy fun . Pelican Bay is a saltwater tidal lagoon, it's very shallow water for a long way, then gets deep a fair way out. The water is too shallow for Boats , but there is a boat ramp nearby. Wineglass Bay is just up the road in Freycinet National Park.We only welcome guests over the age of 50 who have a fully self-contained vehicle. There are no amenities as yet so you must BYO everything you need and leave no footprint. Thank you.

The best camping near Maria Island National Park guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure to Maria Island National Park, a sanctuary where history and wilderness intertwine. Venture through Darlington, a World Heritage Australian Convict Site, or cycle the peaceful roads, free from the bustle of vehicles. With an array of wildlife, including the playful wombat and the elusive Tasmanian devil, every step is a chance to encounter the unexpected. Camp under the stars at one of the island's tranquil campgrounds, immersing yourself in the natural splendour.

Notable campgrounds

  • Maria Island camping - Darlington: Nestled close to the island's historical heart, Darlington campground is an idyllic base for exploration.
  • Maria Island camping - Encampment Cove: Encampment Cove offers a serene camping experience near the ruins of Long Point Probation Station.
  • Maria Island camping - Frenchs Farm: Frenchs Farm provides a peaceful retreat, perfect for discovering the enchanting McRaes Isthmus.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early to secure your spot at Maria Island's sought-after campgrounds, especially during peak season.
  • Consider visiting during off-peak times for a better chance at snagging a reservation and a more solitary experience.
  • Keep an eye on cancellations, as last-minute openings can provide unexpected opportunities.
  • Explore nearby camping options to ensure you have a backup plan if Maria Island campgrounds are fully booked.

When to go

The best time to visit Maria Island National Park is during the warmer months, from October to April, when the weather is pleasant for outdoor activities. Winter can be cold and wet, making some tracks less accessible and outdoor activities less enjoyable.

Know before you go

  • Ensure you have a valid parks pass for entry to Maria Island National Park.
  • Be prepared to be self-sufficient; there are no shops on the island, so bring all necessary supplies.
  • Check for any alerts or safety information, such as fire bans, before your visit.
  • Respect the wildlife and heritage sites; take all trash with you when you leave.
  • Remember, there is no vehicle access on the island; explore on foot or by bike.
