Griffin Park

Griffin Park is a free campground set on the banks of the South Esk River in the Fingal Valley, roughly 32 kilometres northwest of Fingal near the small township of Mathinna in eastern Tasmania.

The site offers multiple large, open grassy camping areas with a mix of shaded, sunny, and more secluded spots suitable for tents, campervans, and camper trailers.

Pit toilets and picnic tables are available, though the area has suffered some wear from heavy use. The South Esk River is the main draw, attracting trout fishermen, swimmers, and packrafters.

Surrounding forests provide opportunities for walking, waterfall hunting, wildlife spotting, and photography. Visitors have reported encounters with quolls, pademelons, yellow-tailed black cockatoos, and superb fairy-wrens.

The site is popular with motorcycle riders, which can affect the atmosphere on weekends and public holidays. Snakes are present during warmer months.
