Richmond Caravan & Cabin Park

Richmond Caravan & Cabin Park is a practical base in Richmond, Tasmania, for travellers who want to stay close to the village and within easy reach of Hobart. The park is described as a short walk from Richmond’s main street and about a 20-minute drive from Hobart, with the town’s galleries, craft shops, antique shops, restaurants and tearooms nearby.

Accommodation includes self-contained cabins, powered sites and non-powered camping areas for tents or caravans. The cabins have private facilities, along with tea and coffee-making facilities, televisions, cooking facilities, heating and electric blankets. Powered sites are located near the amenities block, while the camping area is suited to visitors who do not need electricity.

Facilities include a campers’ kitchen, gas barbecues, a games room, children’s playground and half-size tennis court. There is also a swimming pool, although the website notes that it is closed during winter. The range makes the park suitable for families, couples, solo travellers and road-trippers, with options for both cabin stays and traditional camping.

The location also makes it useful for exploring the surrounding Coal River area. Richmond Bridge, described on the site as Australia’s oldest bridge still in daily use, is close by, while Richmond Valley Golf Club is around a three-minute walk away. Wineries, Bonorong Wildlife Park, Hobart Zoo and Aquarium, and the Tasman Peninsula are also listed as nearby attractions. The park is presented as a convenient stopping point for travellers continuing towards Tasmania’s east coast or the Tasman Peninsula.
