“Base Camp Tasmania struck me as a genuine haven, nestled in New Norfolk's tranquil bushland; the eco-conscious ethos, coupled with the generous amenities like free laundry and well-equipped camp kitchen, made a strong impression. The chance to observe local wildlife and the warm hospitality of Alana and Steve elevate this campground far beyond the typical. It's a restorative base for exploring the region, in my opinion.”
