3 RV Campgrounds In East Devonport, Tasmania | RVingLife.com

East Devonport sits on Tasmania's north coast, where the Mersey River meets Bass Strait. This coastal town gives you access to several RV campgrounds, including some free option for budget-conscious travelers. The area serves as a practical base for exploring Tasmania's northwest region without the crowds you'll find in Hobart or Launceston.

Most facilities here cater to self-contained rigs, with the newer Abel Tasman Caravan Park offering full hookups and amenities. The coastal location means you're dealing with maritime weather patterns -- pack layers even in summer. You'll find the campgrounds spread between the waterfront and inland areas, giving you options whether you want ocean views or sheltered spots.

The road network connects easily to major highways, though you'll want to stay alert on some of the narrower routes heading inland. East Devonport itself is compact and walkable, with supermarkets and fuel stations within easy reach of most camping spots. The Spirit of Tasmania ferry terminal is close by, which explains why this area sees steady RV traffic year-round.

Facilities range from basic overflow areas to full-service parks with laundry and camp kitchens. Most sites accommodate rigs up to 40 feet, but those winding Tasmanian roads mean you'll appreciate a shorter wheelbase. Check our listings below for specific site dimensions and current availability.

East Devonport's several RV campgrounds split between budget and paid options, with some free site (a portion%) and a portion% charging fees. The free option typically means basic amenities -- think pit toilets and no hookups. You'll need to be fully self-contained.

Paid campgrounds run $25-45 per night depending on season and services. Full hookups with power, water, and dump stations cost more than dry camping spots. Some parks charge extra for second vehicles or additional adults.

Weekly rates often knock 10-15% off the nightly price if you're planning an extended stay. Off-season (May through September) brings lower rates at most commercial parks. The free site doesn't take reservations, so it's first-come, first-served regardless of season.
