Quick Overview

Hobart has several caravan dump stations available across the greater metro area, with some offering free access to caravanners and motorhome travellers exploring Tasmania. As Tasmania's capital and largest city, Hobart is the natural starting or ending point for most caravan trips around the Apple Isle. The city sits at the foot of kunanyi/Mount Wellington on the banks of the Derwent River, and its dump point network serves the steady flow of touring vehicles that arrive via the Spirit of Tasmania ferry from Melbourne year-round. You'll find a solid mix of council-operated dump point points and commercial caravan park facilities spread across the northern suburbs and the eastern shore of the Derwent. The sanitary dump point options near the Brooker Highway corridor are particularly convenient for travellers heading north toward Launceston or east toward the Tasman Peninsula and Port Arthur. For Caravan dump point access near the city centre, the eastern shore facilities around Bellerive and Howrah tend to be the most accessible with better parking and manoeuvring space for larger rigs. Hobart's compact size means you're never far from a dump point regardless of where you're staying, and the council has maintained these facilities to a good standard to support the growing caravan tourism industry that brings significant revenue to the island state. Tasmania has become one of Australia's most popular caravan destinations in recent years, and Hobart's dump point infrastructure has evolved to meet that increased demand.

Traveling to Hobart by RV

Hobart is connected to the rest of Tasmania via the Midland Highway (A1) north to Launceston and the Tasman Highway (A3) east to the east coast. If you're arriving on the Spirit of Tasmania, you'll dock in Devonport on the north coast -- from there it's about three hours south to Hobart via the Midland Highway through Launceston. The Brooker Highway is the main arterial into Hobart from the north and handles large vehicles well. Watch for the 4.0-metre height restriction on the Tasman Bridge if you're crossing to the eastern shore -- most caravans are fine but check your rig if you've got anything mounted on top. Fuel is readily available throughout the metro area with Shell and United stations along the main corridors. The servo at Glenorchy is a good stop for larger rigs. For supplies, the Northgate shopping centre at Glenorchy has a Woolworths, Kmart, and automotive shops.

Explore the Hobart Area

Hit Hobart's dump stations on weekday mornings for the quickest stop -- weekends see more traffic as people head out for camping trips around the island. If you're planning to visit the Salamanca Market (Saturday mornings), park your rig at a caravan park and drive in or take the bus because parking near the waterfront with a van is basically impossible. The MONA museum is worth the visit and has a dedicated car park that can handle larger vehicles if you arrive early enough. Fresh water in Hobart is excellent quality and among the best in Australia so fill your tanks. For propane, the BOC outlet in Derwent Park handles LPG refills. If you need caravan supplies, the BCF at Moonah is well stocked with everything from hoses to connectors. Before heading to the east coast or the Tasman Peninsula, sort your tanks in Hobart as dump facilities become significantly sparser outside the city.
