Barilla Holiday Park at Cambridge is a strong all-rounder about 15 minutes from the CBD, with powered sites, cabins, a mini golf course and playground for families. BIG4 Hobart Airport Tourist Park is the convenient choice if you are flying in or out, also 15 minutes from the city with powered caravan and campervan sites.

Outside that window, Hobart area parks are much easier to book on shorter notice, and Mount Field National Park camping is generally available with a few weeks notice outside peak season through the Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service booking system.

Summer, from December through February, delivers Tasmania's most reliable and mild weather, making it the busiest and most popular season for caravanning around Hobart. Spring and autumn are our preference if you want fewer crowds, since the weather is still reasonable even though it is more changeable, so pack layers regardless. Winter is quiet and cool, with occasional snow visible on kunanyi/Mount Wellington from the city, and while it is not ideal camping weather, Tasmania's notoriously variable climate makes any season worth preparing properly for.

Mount Field National Park campground suits smaller to mid-size rigs better given its more rustic forest access roads.

Basing at one of these parks means you get the convenience of city access with a proper powered site to return to each evening, which is the setup most RVers choose when Hobart itself is the main destination.

Plenty for a compact city. kunanyi/Mount Wellington delivers a summit drive with sweeping views over the Derwent River, MONA offers one of Australia's most talked-about private museums a short trip from the CBD, and Salamanca Markets bring a famous Saturday market to the historic waterfront warehouses.
