Corrina Road Campsite
Remote Free Bush Camping on Tasmania’s West Coast
Corrina Road Campsite is a small, basic free camping area on Tasmania’s remote West Coast. Set just off Corinna Road, the campsite provides a simple overnight option for travellers exploring the wilderness around Corinna, the Pieman River and Tasmania’s spectacular takayna/Tarkine region. This isn’t a developed campground. Instead, expect a relatively flat gravel clearing surrounded by West Coast bushland. The site is partly screened from Corinna Road and, although close to the road, traffic through this remote part of Tasmania is generally limited.

Camping at Corrina Road Campsite
Corrina Road Campsite is best suited to travellers who enjoy simple, self-sufficient bush camping. The camping area is essentially a gravel clearing rather than a formal campground, making it particularly useful as an overnight stop when travelling through this remote section of western Tasmania. The gravel surface is an advantage in an area famous for high rainfall, although conditions can still change considerably after prolonged wet weather. The campsite is relatively small and turning space may be limited. The entrance has also been described as narrow but manageable for caravans. Travellers towing particularly large caravans or driving large motorhomes should therefore inspect the entrance and turning area before committing to the site.
Facilities
There are no developed camping facilities at Corrina Road Campsite. Campers should arrive prepared to be completely self-sufficient.

Please take all rubbish with you and leave the campsite as you found it. Carry sufficient drinking water, food and emergency supplies when travelling through this remote part of Tasmania.
Caravans and Motorhomes
Corrina Road Campsite can be used by caravans and recreational vehicles, but it is better suited to smaller and medium-sized setups. The entrance and available turning space may make the campsite unsuitable for very large caravans, long combinations or large motorhomes. West Coast road and weather conditions can also change quickly, particularly after heavy rain, so drive according to the conditions.
Dog Friendly Camping
Corrina Road Campsite has been reported by camping directories as dog friendly. However, the surrounding region contains important wildlife and conservation areas, so dogs should remain under effective control at all times. Always check current signage and local restrictions when you arrive, as land management rules can change.
Exploring Corinna and the Pieman River
One of the biggest attractions of camping in this area is the extraordinary wilderness surrounding Corinna and the Pieman River. The tiny settlement of Corinna is surrounded by rainforest and provides access to walking tracks, river cruises, kayaking and other wilderness activities. The broader region forms part of Tasmania’s spectacular takayna/Tarkine landscape. Visitors can explore rainforest walks, enjoy the Pieman River or simply experience one of the more remote corners of Tasmania’s West Coast.
Fatman Barge
Travellers continuing through Corinna should be aware that the Pieman River is crossed using the Fatman Barge. The vehicle ferry is an important part of the road journey through Corinna. Travellers towing caravans or driving larger recreational vehicles should check current operating times, vehicle restrictions and charges before travelling.
Things to Remember
- There are no campground facilities, so be self-sufficient.
- Bring your own drinking water.
- Take all rubbish with you.
- Check the entrance before taking a large caravan into the campsite.
- Expect wet and rapidly changing West Coast weather.
- Mobile phone coverage may be limited or unavailable.
- Check current fire restrictions before lighting any fire.
- Leave the campsite clean for the next traveller.
Our Verdict
Corrina Road Campsite is one for travellers who appreciate basic, no-frills bush camping. You won’t find toilets, showers, power or other caravan park facilities here, but that’s part of its appeal. For self-sufficient campers exploring Corinna and Tasmania’s remote West Coast, the site provides a handy free overnight stop surrounded by some of the wildest country in Tasmania. The gravel surface is particularly useful in this famously wet region, although campers with very large rigs should be cautious about the limited entrance and turning space.
Campground conditions and access can change. Please obey all signs and restrictions at the campsite and confirm current conditions before travelling into remote areas.
