Tasmania's Overland Track stretches 65 kilometres through the heart of Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park, drawing hikers and nature lovers from every corner of the globe. Yet the island state has far more to offer beyond its famous trails. From the colourful sandstone cliffs of Maria Island to the crystal-clear waters of Wineglass Bay in Freycinet National Park, Tasmania packs extraordinary variety into a compact area — Hobart to Launceston is just 200 kilometres, while the drive from Hobart to Strahan on the wild west coast covers roughly 300 kilometres. The Tasman Peninsula delivers dramatic sea cliffs and the historic Port Arthur convict site, and the Huon Valley south of Hobart is a haven for food and cider lovers. Compact roads wind through ancient rainforest, past highland lakes, and along quiet coastal stretches, making Tasmania ideal for exploring at your own pace in a campervan or motorhome. Smaller vehicles handle the winding mountain passes with ease, while larger motorhomes suit the well-maintained highways linking major towns. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from local owners across Tasmania, choosing from a range of vehicles that match your travel style and group size. It is a peer-to-peer approach that keeps things personal, flexible, and rooted in the local community.
Tasmania's peak touring season runs from December to February, when long daylight hours and warm temperatures make coastal camping a joy. The annual Dark Mofo festival in Hobart each June draws visitors for its bold winter arts programme, while the Festivale in Launceston every February celebrates local food and wine. Autumn, from March to May, brings golden foliage to places like Mount Field National Park and quieter roads across the island. Hiring a campervan through Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform outside peak months often means more competitive pricing and greater vehicle choice. Book a few weeks ahead for summer trips to secure your preferred pick-up location.

Tasmania offers a wonderful spread of campsites, from sheltered coastal spots near white-sand beaches to forested parks at the foot of mountain ranges. Most holiday parks provide powered sites with electric hook-ups, dump points, hot showers, and camp kitchens suitable for both campervans and motorhomes. You will find well-equipped options near Tasmania's major attractions as well as quieter retreats in more remote corners of the island.
Tasmania has no toll roads, so you can travel the entire island without paying any road fees. The speed limit on open highways is generally 110 km/h for cars, though drivers of larger motorhomes should check individual vehicle guidelines as some are limited to 100 km/h. Major routes like the Midland Highway (National Highway 1) between Hobart and Launceston are well sealed and suitable for all vehicle sizes. Secondary roads, particularly on the west coast and through national parks, can be narrower and winding — take your time and use designated rest areas for breaks.
This was our first experience traveling in a campervan, and it was absolutely unforgettable! ❤️ A special thank you to the incredibly kind and wonderful owners! They welcomed us so warmly that we felt like part of their family from the very first moment. 🥰 The campervan was absolutely perfect for a family adventure — spotless, cozy, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we could possibly need! From little essentials like tissues to board games for the whole family, every detail was taken care of. You can truly feel how much love and care the owners have put into it. We absolutely loved exploring Tenerife in this campervan! 🌴🚐 It gave us the freedom to discover the island in such a special way and create unforgettable family memories. We happy with our experience and would wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone!
Jean was super attentive and helpful. For example was the bathroom door stuck in the beginning. He sent a mechanic to fix it. Or I forgot the key in the van on my last day and locked myself out. He helped me here via road service and in the and the mechanic with the second key. Sorry again for the inconvenience. 😄 Thank you very much again, Jean! It was a pleasure!
Thats the way i like it baby i dont want to live forever!
Rosa and her partner were incredibly kind and helpful. We left the island with wonderful memories, and the campervan played a big part in making our experience so special. It was a fantastic way to explore the island and discover all its different corners. Thank you for everything!
Luis fue un anfitrión genial. Nos explicó todo nada más llegar, la furgo está completamente equipada y es perfecta para recorrer Madeira. Repetiríamos sin duda!
Superbe première expérience dans un van aménagé. Le van était en très bon état, il y a tout ce qu’il faut (literie, table, chaises, machine à café, douche intérieure). Les propriétaires super sympas, accueillants et disponibles rapidement par téléphone, on recommande vivement !!!
