Quick Overview
New Norfolk has several caravan dump stations available in the area, with some offering free access to caravanners and motorhome travellers exploring the Derwent Valley. This historic town sits in the heart of the Derwent Valley about 35 km northwest of Hobart, surrounded by hop fields, heritage buildings, and the Derwent River winding through a picturesque valley setting that feels a world away from the capital city. It's a popular base for caravanners exploring the southern Tasmanian hinterland, including Mount Field National Park (about 40 km further northwest) and the stunning Russell Falls that draw visitors from around the world every year. The dump point facilities in New Norfolk serve both local caravan park guests and through-travellers heading into the central highlands and Tasmania's wild west coast beyond. The sanitary dump point access is easy in a town this size -- everything's close to the main road and well-signposted for visiting travellers coming through from Hobart. New Norfolk has a growing reputation as an caravan-friendly town, and the council has invested in facilities that make life easy for touring caravanners who choose to stop here rather than fighting for space in busier and more expensive Hobart. The Derwent Valley's natural beauty and heritage attractions make it well worth a stay of a few days rather than a quick tank dump and move on to the next destination. For anyone heading west from Hobart into the Tasmanian wilderness regions, sorting your tanks here makes good practical sense as dump point options become very sparse beyond this point on the Lyell Highway. Check the Caravan dump point listings below for locations and detailed access information.
