General Comments
We loved our stay at Stumpys Bay One Campground in the Mount William National Park. It was simply bursting with natural beauty, and proved a perfect place for relaxing and taking in the wildlife and lush scenery.
We could walk straight onto the beach from our campsite, which was literally five metres away. There was wildlife everywhere, and it was obvious that the little wallabies had been fed by other travellers as they came right up to us (please remember to refrain from feeding wildlife when camping).
We only stayed here overnight, but enjoyed a couple of drives and pretty walks in the area. It looked like there might be good surf them at times, although not when we visited. Aside from relaxing, there wasn’t a lot to do in the area.
Whilst this spot was suitable for most campers, larger rigs would need to be careful of overhanging trees and tight corners. Be cautious if you are trying to enter this site with a large setup.
A valid parks pass was required for entry into this Tasmanian national park, and the Rangers do come around to check up on everything.
