Tasmania’s Top Glamping Spots Accessible by Car
If you want a nature getaway without giving up your creature comforts, glamping in Tasmania is the way to go. The island state has embraced this luxury-camping trend with off-the-grid stays, cozy cabins, and eco-retreats nestled in wild landscapes. Better yet, many of the best glamping spots are easily accessible by car from Hobart or Launceston. Here’s your guide to Tasmania’s top glamping destinations and how to reach them on four wheels.

Why Choose Glamping in Tasmania?
Glamping blends the serenity of the outdoors with the comfort of a boutique stay. In Tasmania, that means:
Stargazing from your deck
Waking up to the sounds of birds and rivers
Exploring nearby national parks or beaches by day
Sleeping in style at night
It’s perfect for couples, solo travellers, or families who want to unplug without roughing it.
Best Glamping Spots You Can Drive To
Truffle Lodge, Gretna
About an hour from Hobart, this riverside retreat offers safari-style tents with full bathrooms, luxe linens, and fire pits. Great for riverfront sunsets and nearby whiskey tasting at Lawrenny Estate.
Bay of Fires Bush Retreat
Drive 3.5 hours northeast from Hobart to find yourself near one of Tasmania’s most iconic coastlines. This spot balances comfort with rustic charm, and you’re a short drive from white-sand beaches and orange-tinged granite boulders.
Wingtons Glamping, Clarence Point
Located along the Tamar River, this spot features canvas bell tents styled with vintage decor, wood stoves, and hot outdoor showers. It’s about an hour from Launceston, with wineries and river views nearby.
Domescapes in the Vines, Tamar Valley
Sleep under the stars in a geodesic dome set among vineyards. These glamping domes include plush bedding, heating, and panoramic windows. The location is ideal for wine-tasting weekends with a twist.
Bruny Island Retreats
With a YesDrive rental, it’s easy to take the car ferry to Bruny Island. Once there, options like Free Spirit Pods offer a blend of island wilderness and high-end comfort. Wake to water views and wallabies outside your door.
