Leave your caravan at the park and drive your car up the 21km winding Pinnacle Road. (Towing is not permitted). On a clear day, the breathtaking views from the summit over Hobart, the Derwent River, and Bruny Island are unforgettable.

Port Arthur Historic Site

Port Arthur Historic Site

Leave the caravan behind and take a spectacular 90-minute day trip in your car to the World Heritage-listed Port Arthur Historic Site. The drive across the Tasman Peninsula is stunning, and the site has a large car park, making it a stress-free and essential Tassie experience.

Bruny Island

A caravan holiday makes this day trip easy. Leave your van at your park or the ferry terminal in Kettering. Taking a caravan on the ferry is complex and expensive, so it's best to take just your car across for the day to explore "The Neck," the lighthouse, and the famous oyster and cheese producers.

Huon Valley

Unhitch the car and take a scenic drive south along the Huon Trail, the heart of Tassie's apple and cider country. It's much easier to navigate the charming riverside towns of Huonville and Franklin, or visit the Tahune Airwalk, without a caravan in tow.

Salamanca Market

Set up your van at a Hobart holiday park and catch a bus or park your car in the city to explore the world-famous Salamanca Market (Saturdays). Wander the historic sandstone warehouses, browse the hundreds of stalls, and soak up the vibrant atmosphere.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Caravan hire in Hobart cost?

Prices vary depending on the caravan's age, size, and features. On Camplify, you can find options from local owners ranging from budget-friendly pop-tops for around $80 per night to luxurious family bunk-vans from $350+ per night.

When is the best time to visit Hobart for a road trip?

The summer months (December to February) are the most popular, offering the warmest, most reliable weather. Autumn (March to May) is also beautiful, with fewer crowds and stunning foliage.

What do I need to hire a caravan in Hobart?

You'll need a standard car licence and a tow-capable vehicle. It's crucial to check your car's towing capacity (GVM/ATM) against the caravan you want to hire. Many local owners can provide tow mirrors and electric brake controllers.

Do I need to book caravan parks in Hobart in advance?

Yes, absolutely. Hobart is the main entry point for many travellers, and parks book out months in advance for the peak summer season. It is essential to book your entire route ahead of time.

Are there pet-friendly caravan hire options in Hobart?

Absolutely! Many local owners on Camplify list their caravan as pet-friendly, and many holiday parks also welcome pets. (Note: Pets are strictly not permitted in any of Tasmania's national parks, so plan your itinerary accordingly).

Can I take a hired caravan on the Bruny Island ferry?

While technically possible for a high fee, it is not recommended. It's much easier and cheaper to leave your caravan at your holiday park or the Kettering terminal and take only your car on the 20-minute ferry for a day trip.
