Waratah river

Nestled in the historic mining town of Waratah, the Waratah Camping Ground offers both powered and unpowered sites overlooking the picturesque trout-filled Waratah Lake. This campground serves as an affordable base to explore the natural beauty of Tasmania's northwest, including the Tarkine Wilderness and Cradle Mountain. Within walking distance, guests can visit the famous Waratah Waterfall, once used as a power source in the state's second hydroelectric scheme, and enjoy accessible walks like the Philosopher Falls Track. Additional amenities include a 9-hole golf course and opportunities for trout fishing in the well-stocked lake. The campground is pet-friendly; however, it's advisable to contact the Waratah Post Office during business hours for accommodation inquiries, as specific sites are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
