New eBook Shines a Light on Camping and Caravanning in Tasmania

Travellers planning a camping or caravanning adventure around Tasmania now have a fresh resource at their fingertips, thanks to the release of a brand-new eBook from Lap of Tasmania.

A Local’s Guide to Camping and Caravanning Tasmania is the result of seven months of research, writing, and community input from road trippers who know the island best. Written by Hobart-based travel creator Andrew Strikis, the guide brings together practical advice, suggested itineraries, and tried-and-tested camping tips to help make road trips around the state simpler, safer, and more enjoyable.

The eBook tackles common questions such as:

  • Can you ‘wing it’ in Tasmania, or should you book ahead?

  • Where are the best free and low-cost campsites?

  • Which roads are best avoided when towing?

  • How much does camping in Tasmania cost?

  • Where can you stay with pets, and what tours and attractions are pet-friendly?

Andrew said the eBook was designed to cut through the noise of online research and provide a reliable, centralised guide for both first-time visitors and seasoned travellers.

“There’s so much free information out there, but it can take forever to pull it all together. This guide answers the big questions quickly and clearly, with insights from real travellers who’ve shared their stories, favourite campsites, and planning tips,” he said.

The guide also includes:

  • Interactive maps to help drivers navigate Tasmania’s hilly and winding roads.

  • Regional “Top 5” lists of free and low-cost campsites.

  • Suggested itineraries ranging from 10 days to 4 months.

Early readers have described the eBook as “a fabulous resource for anyone contemplating a trip to the Apple Isle” and “a great place to start when planning a caravan or camper trip – it covers all the necessities.”

A Local’s Guide to Camping and Caravanning Tasmania is available now, retailing at $24.
