Discovery Parks Cradle Mountain
Any season you like, this is one of the most beautiful holiday parks you could set eyes on, whether you camp, bring your own motorhome or stay in any of the cosy cabins on offer. You won’t look at a caravan site in quite the same way afterwards.
Accommodation-wise there are three categories: unpowered sites, for those bringing a tent, powered sites, if you come with a caravan or RV, and a variety of cabins. Regarding the latter, these include standard and superior cabins, sleeping up to six in two bedrooms, featuring a queen bed and two double bunks. They have air conditioning, showers in a full bathroom and a kitchenette. Linen, bedding (in the form of duvets, called doonas in this part of the world), and electric blankets are included. There is a dining area and a living area, the latter with and LCD TV and a sofa. The kitchen area has a full-size refrigerator, a kettle, a toaster an electric frying pan (yes, that is a thing!), a microwave oven and all the necessary utensils and cookware you might need. To save you lugging an ironing board on your Tasmanian hikes, there’s one in the cabin, as well as an iron and even a hair dryer.
For the real home from home, there is even more on offer at Discovery Parks Cradle Mountain if you book a cottage, with two double beds, and at the other end of the budget range there are Economy Backpacker blocks, one male, one female, with shared bathroom and kitchen facilities. There are eight berths per block. Wherever you stay in the properties provided, blackout curtains are available, so you won’t need to worry about any disturbance from camper headlights.
Discovery Parks Cradle Mountain has laundry facilities on site, and as well as a grocery store has a vending machine (perfect for those midnight snacks). Parking is free, there is space for storing luggage, a work desk and activity centre are provided and you can make use of a weekly housekeeping service. The staff can even help with ticket purchase and tour booking, and they have helpfully made sure that wifi can be obtained in the public areas of the site. The smoke-free venue also has a picnic area and barbecue equipment.
Naturally it is what surrounds the site which is the primary purpose of being here, and you won’t be disappointed by the choice. Situated in the national park, it’s in convenient walking distance of Cradle Mountain Visitor Centre, the Enchanted Nature Walk and the furry friends who live at Devils At Cradle. If you fancy going a little further, you can find the beautiful Dove Lake and Cradle Mountain. There is also an award-winning spa just two kilometres away. Horse riding, quad bikes and kayaks are also on offer.
Situated in a national park, this holiday park is within 2 mi (3 km) of Devils at Cradle, Enchanted Nature Walk, and Enchanted Forest Walk Trailhead. Cradle Mountain Visitor Centre and Cradle Valley Board Walk Trailhead are also within 2 mi (3 km).
