Flexibility, competitive prices and insurance included.
Tasmania is home to Australia's oldest national park, Mount Field, established in 1916, and nearly 40 per cent of the island is protected as reserves or World Heritage wilderness. From the dolerite columns of Cape Raoul on the Tasman Peninsula to the ancient rainforests of the Tarkine in the north-west, the island packs extraordinary variety into a compact area — Hobart to Launceston is roughly 200 km, while the drive from Cradle Mountain to the coastal town of Strahan covers about 145 km through some of the most dramatic scenery in the Southern Hemisphere. Freycinet National Park draws visitors to Wineglass Bay, and the Bay of Fires along the north-east coast is renowned for its orange-lichen-covered granite boulders. Compact distances make Tasmania ideal for campervan travel: you can cross the island in a few hours yet find a completely different landscape around every bend. Narrow mountain roads and winding coastal stretches are well suited to smaller campervans, while the main highways between Hobart, Launceston and Devonport comfortably accommodate larger motorhomes. With Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform, you can hire a vehicle directly from a local owner, choosing from a range of sizes and styles to match your itinerary. Whether you want to explore the Huon Valley's orchards or camp beside a highland lake, Tasmania rewards those who take the time to travel at their own pace.
The best time to hire a campervan in Tasmania is from December to March, when daytime temperatures sit comfortably between 17 °C and 25 °C and most campgrounds are fully open. January brings the MONA FOMA festival in Hobart, a major arts and music event well worth planning around. Autumn, from March to May, offers quieter roads and spectacular foliage in places like Mount Field National Park. Even winter has its appeal, with fewer visitors and snow-dusted peaks around Cradle Mountain. Booking through Yescapa's peer-to-peer model can help you find competitive rates outside peak season, and local owners often share tips on the best spots to visit during your chosen month.

Tasmania offers a wide range of campgrounds, from beachside parks on the east coast to forested sites near Cradle Mountain. Most holiday parks provide powered and unpowered pitches suitable for both campervans and motorhomes, along with amenities such as hot showers, laundry facilities and camp kitchens. Free and low-cost campgrounds managed by the Parks and Wildlife Service are dotted across Tasmania's national parks, giving you the chance to wake up beside a river or under towering eucalypts.
Tasmania has no toll roads, so you can travel freely without worrying about extra charges. The main routes — the Midland Highway (National Highway 1) between Hobart and Launceston and the Bass Highway along the north coast — are well maintained and suitable for motorhomes of all sizes. The general speed limit on open roads is 110 km/h, though many rural and mountain roads are posted at 80 km/h. Larger vehicles should take care on winding sections such as the road into Strahan or the approach to Cradle Mountain, where lanes narrow and overtaking opportunities are limited. Rest areas with basic facilities appear regularly along major routes.
Super renter..
Eduardo is a wonderful person, very responsive to messages and generally couldn't be more helpful. Campervan is very well equipped and we had a wonderful experience.
He is a very nice guy, the van was very clean and everything was in good conditions!
Excellent in every way! Camper had everything needed for a very comfortable trip and holiday. Andres was very obliging and an absolute pleasure to deal with! I would highly recommend this choice.
