Caravan Parks - Central Highlands of Tasmania

A high-country haven of glacial lakes, wild landscapes, and tranquil escapes.

Tasmania’s Central Highlands is a remote and elevated region known for its dramatic plateaus, ancient forests, and thousands of pristine lakes. Often called “Tasmania’s lake district,” this is a place where nature dominates the landscape and time seems to slow down.

Popular with anglers, bushwalkers, and those seeking solitude, the Central Highlands offers a raw and peaceful experience. The area is home to iconic destinations like Great Lake, Arthurs Lake, and the Walls of Jerusalem National Park—each offering breathtaking scenery and world-class trout fishing.

Caravan parks and campsites in the Central Highlands are sparse but scenic, providing a true wilderness stay. From lakeside camping grounds to simple powered sites in quiet towns like Miena or Bronte Park, the focus here is on nature, not crowds. It’s the perfect place to disconnect and soak up the silence of Tasmania’s alpine heart.

The weather here can be wild and changeable—even in summer—so it’s a region best explored with preparation and a sense of adventure. But for those who make the journey, the rewards are immense: mirror-like lakes at dawn, wallabies grazing in the mist, and night skies filled with stars.
