15th July 2009 - Montagu Park - North West Tasmania

Located about 20k West of Smithton on the tip of the North West Tasmania is Montagu Park Camping Area - We had the place to ourselves during our stay in this wonderful large, level shaded and open, well grassed camping area. There are plenty of bins, shelter sheds and septic toilets. There is also a shower cubicle with a hook for those wishing to have a shower. Water is abundant though it requires boiling prior to drinking. The boat ramp gets plenty of use with the locals collecting mussels and doing a bit of fishing. The site is well noted for flounder during the warmer months. This campsite has a caretaker during the summer months and is very popular from November until April each year. We highly recommend this site during the off season for a great place to spend a few days. There are no shopping facilities in the area so stock up well at Smithtown prior to arriving.
