Esperance River Campsite

The Esperance River Campsite is a free, tent-friendly camping area located about 8 kilometres along Esperance River Road in south-west Tasmania, signposted from the A6 highway approximately 4 kilometres south of Dover.

Campers carry their gear from the car park to a grassed area on the north side of the Esperance River, though a nearby grassed clearing also accommodates campervans, caravans, and camper trailers.

The site offers 10 camping spots with built-in fireplaces; fires are permitted subject to local fire bans. River water should be boiled before drinking.

The area is subject to challenging conditions year-round, including snow, high rainfall, strong winds, and sudden temperature swings, so visitors should arrive fully self-sufficient.
