Favourite Tasmanian camp sites [Multiple photo warning]

Have to agree with Bigbird, one of my favourites on here. One from Ooze Lake

Surely Ossa is now along side Cradle, Hartz, Mt Field... as in it's a sacraficial peak to give to the people in order to save others?? EVERYONE goes up Ossa....

Interesting perspective. Would be interested to hear Parks opinion of that. Surely if it were the case, the environmental scar can be minimized significantly by some track work and "no-go regen areas" similar to what has been done in other areas.
On that subject, what about that new bridge crossing the creek on the way to Kitchen Hut! Whoa...... I went up to just beyond Kitchen Hut last Thursday with a friend who was doing some food drops, we were walking along chatting then I spotted it and swore mid-sentence...

The pretty pics are great, and as some of us are lucky to have experienced, many of these places are for the realm of the "highly experienced bushwalker only" (quoting the guidebooks).
As such, please consider being mindful of posting exact locations here if you think it prudent. There's no specific rule against it, and we're not trying to make it exclusive or anything, but there are a number of additional factors to consider when camping in some of these locations, not least of which is the sensitivity of the environment. So perhaps a less descriptive name like "on another mountain in central Tas" would suit better?
Ossa is just one example, okay to visit as a day trip if you felt inclined, but definitely not a good enviro for the average overland-trekker to consider as an extra stop!

My list includes a heap, but rather than name them I'll dig out some photos when I next fire up that computer.

Hi Guys!

This thread caught my eye - I apologise for being somewhat late to the feast. I don't have any photos to contribute as most of my "over-nighters" date from an era long gone, namely the pre-digital 70s & 80s. Even then I camped mostly at "standard" campsites. Although, back in those days few eyebrows were raised about camping in sensitive areas; indeed, to do so was often considered part of a bushwalker's "rite of passage"! Like the bridegroom on his wedding night???

Nowadays I find myself in agreement with "tasadam". We should be doing all we can to protect these iconic areas such as Ossa, Walls of Jerusalem, Mount Anne, the Arthurs, etc. Is it TOO restrictive to start limiting where people can/cannot camp? I sense a mass uprising of "liberationists", freedom-walkers, etc!!!
But sooner or later - perhaps the former if pristine areas are not to be over-run - rules regarding camping in national parks (at least) will need to be considered.

Duck-boarding of popular tracks in the Reserve has been extended in recent years in an attempt to preserve sensitive vegetation; perhaps restricted camping is the next stage?

It's nice to wake up to a "million-dollar" view in the morning but just think for a moment: what are the cumulative effects on the environment (material/aesthetic degradation, pollution, etc)? Mt Ossa is just one instance. There are many others.

P.S. Thanks to all those who contributed those idyllic campsites. I just happen to think that the view would be even better without the tent!
