Have a trip over Xmas for sister in laws wedding (which is actually on 20th dec)

Were thinking of going to Tasmania camping for 4 or 5 days after the wedding, so this would take us over christmas period

concern is we will have 3 kids with us (16, 14, 10). Ordinarily they’d be fine out in the boonies hiking etc but perhaps not on Christmas day where I suspect they would hope to have a bit of social going on

so – would the campsites say around Hobart be dead over Xmas or will there be stuff going on? Any shops / bars / restaurants open or is the whole place shut down for family time?

thanks for any advice

It’s usually pretty busy here over that time of year – would pay to book early, no matter what kind of accommodation you’re looking at.

Also, there is a range of places open on Christmas Day, but again, it’s usually bookings only. Remainder of the time there should be plenty of places open – Christmas Eve is a big night down at Salamanca in Hobart.

Come on down. You’ll never leave. I didn’t.
Xmas day things are a little limited, but after that things pick up a lot.

cheers – sounds okay then!

do you live in Tas then? any particular campsites you’d recommend?

cheers

I’ve been here 14 years now.
As for camping, down south I’d look at something like this:

Cloudy bay, Bruny Island.
But you won’t go far wrong anywhere really.
Freycinet
Cockle creek
Port Arthur
A little bit further a field you have,
Bay of Fires
Strahan
Marrawah.
Cradle Mt
Lake St Clair
There are a 101 amazing places to choose from.

Clearly that can’t be a picture of Tasmania the sky is the wrong colour.

Enjoy your trip.
