Plan the Perfect Glamping Tasmania Experience

Is this your first Tasmania glamping experience? Here are a few expert tips to prepare yourself for the outdoors and make the most of your trip:

1. Pack clothes for all types of weather. It can turn cold very quickly in Tasmania and it pays to bring a raincoat just in case. Sunscreen and bug spray are also a must.
2. Bring a torch. While many of these sites have lighting available, you are still sleeping in a tent. It pays to have a small hand-held torch handy for those times you need to find something in the dark.
3. Glamping tents usually come fully equipped with comfortable bedding, lighting, bathroom facilities, and power sockets – some even have air-conditioning or heating! However, it pays to check the facilities before you leave home and bring anything else you think you might need. A portable phone charger is always handy to have just in case.
4. Be sure to check if your glamping spot offers meals or cooking facilities. If not, you might need to bring self-catering items – portable BBQ, gas, Esky, food, cutlery, pots and plates, etc.
5. Leave your heels at home – that’s right ladies, there is just no place for these at a glamping site. Keep in mind that some powered sites might not have enough juice to power hairdryers or straighteners either.
6. Glamping in Tasmania is not as cheap as one would think. Some glamping sites can cost as much as (if not more than) a nice hotel in the city. Just remember it’s the experience you are paying for, not the four walls.
7. Don’t forget marshmallows to toast over the fire (obvs). Or better yet, bring chocolate coated biscuits as well and make S’mores!
