Caravan Dump Points In Kempton, Tasmania

Kempton's got several RV dump stations, and here's the best part -- all some are completely free. That's right, you won't pay a cent to dump your black and gray tanks in this small Tasmanian town.

Kempton sits in the Southern Midlands, about 50 kilometers north of Hobart along the Midland Highway. It's a convenient stop for RVers traveling between Hobart and Launceston, and the town's become a popular spot for folks who want to avoid the coastal crowds while still staying close to major routes. The area sees a steady stream of campervans and motorhomes, especially during Tasmania's peak RV season from December through March.

The dump stations here are mostly public facilities -- council-run sanitary dump stations that serve the traveling community. You'll find basic sani-dump setups at rest areas and public facilities, typically just a grated drain and a freshwater tap. Don't expect fancy amenities, but they get the job done. The stations are designed for quick stops, and most RVers report easy access for rigs up to 30 feet. A couple locations can handle bigger units if you're careful with your approach.

Access is straightforward via the Midland Highway (A1), which runs right through town. The highway is well-maintained and RV-friendly year-round, though winter can bring frost and occasional black ice in the early mornings. Most stations are within a few minutes of the main route, so you won't be hunting through residential streets in a 40-foot fifth wheel.

Dump stations are only one piece of the trip puzzle. Before you set out for your trip to Kempton, Tasmania, it's worth taking thirty minutes to check that the basics are in place — the four areas below are where unprepared RVers most often get stung.

Of the several stations in Kempton, some (a portion%) are free, while a portion% charge a fee. That's a clean sweep for your wallet -- every dump station in town is free to use, no payment required.

This is pretty typical for rural Tasmania. Most council-run facilities don't charge, unlike some mainland states where you'll pay $5 to $15 at commercial sites. The Tasmanian government and local councils recognize that RV tourism is important, so they've invested in free public infrastructure.

There's no membership or pass system to worry about. Just pull up, dump, rinse, and go. Some RVers still tip their hat to the council by spending money at local businesses -- grab lunch at the pub or fill up at the servo. It's a small way to support the communities that keep these facilities running.

If you're planning a longer Tasmania trip, this free-dump model holds true across most of the island. You'll find paid stations at some caravan parks and tourist spots, but public facilities are almost always no-charge.
