 Longford Riverside Caravan Park

Longford Riverside Caravan Park is located on the banks of the Macquarie River in Longford, approximately 22km south of Launceston.


This caravan park is a beauty - it has lovely lush green grass and big leafy trees that create a peaceful atmosphere.

We recommend you stay on a riverfront site. The view is fantastic and it is magical to sit back and listen to the flowing river while watching the resident ducks waddle by.

With direct access to the river, the caravan park has a boat ramp, so many people bring kayaks and even small boats, but due to the strong and dangerous river currents, swimming is not permitted.

This is fairly large caravan park, with 100 powered sites and 50 unpowered sites, but it doesn't feel too busy or crowded. The grassy expanses create natural boundaries between the sites.

There are unpowered camping sites available as well as a few onsite caravans for those that want to stay in a caravan, but don't have their own.

The unpowered campsite area (and adjacent powered site area) doesn't feel like a typical caravan park. 

One of the best things about Longford Riverside Caravan is that it's pet friendly. 
We love to see dogs sharing adventures with their owners!

There are plenty of outdoor seats and benches scattered around the caravan park so you can sit outside and enjoy the tranquility. 

There are two undercover barbeque huts and small firepots (with wood) can either be purchased or hired. If you forget to bring the marshmallows, it's only a short stroll to Longford shops.

There is a laundry available for guests to use, with coin operated washing machines.  

The amenities are clean and although a little dated, well maintained.

There is a small cost to use the showers - a very reasonable 20 cents per 3.5 minutes - and although this may seem to be an inconvenience, it helps deter water wastage.

We think Longford Riverside Caravan Park is one of the most picturesque caravan parks in Tasmania. The next time you are travelling near Launceston, call in and experience it for yourself.

  Drift Away Organic Shack is a peaceful retreat for two located in Police Point, approximately 73km south of Hobart. Ideal for a couple, this cute studio has stunning views of the Huon River. The shack is located on the owner's residential property, but as the main house is set well behind the shack, the house and its inhabitants go unnoticed. The idea with this shack is to relax - read a book, drink in the view, cook a meal on the outdoor fire pit or enjoy a relaxing bath in the...........drumroll.............outdoor tub. Or, of course, do all of the above! The bushland setting offers privacy and the local birdlife creates a gorgeous natural soundtrack. The shack itself has a double bed, small kitchenette with mini fridge, shower, couch, an outdoor setting for the deck, an outdoor setting near the fire pit and an outdoor bath. Jemma, the friendly and welcoming owner, provides freshly laid eggs from the resident hens, milk, tea, coffee, a selection of jams, vegemite, butter, a fre...

Crescent Bay, Mount Brown and Remarkable Cave

 Crescent Bay, Mount Brown and Remarkable Cave PUFF-O-METRE   THEN OVERVIEW This is a beautiful day walk that follows some rugged coast line, stunning views and ends at a gorgeous beach with huge dunes. It starts at a large carpark, but it needs to be as this area is a very popular location. The carpark has a lovely viewing platform for some of the coastal cliffs. It also has shelter and public toilets available. Before setting off towards Crescent Bay, it's worth the ten minute delay to head down the staircase to enjoy the view at the Remarkable Cave. It's a bit like a horizontal blowhole however it's far more open therefore you don't get the big burst of water upwards. With that done, it's time to head along the other track towards Crescent Bay. This track is a bit up and down however the elevation doesn't change more than 20m so at no stage does it feel overwhelming. The track is even wide/smooth enough to be able to take off-road prams to the beach. Along th...
