Musselroe Bay Camping
Musselroe Bay camping is on the north-eastern side of Tasmania on Musselroe Road in Musselroe Bay. It is a two hour drive north-east of Launceston, and sits just north of Mount William National Park.
Musselroe Bay camping is a simple, free camp based right on the estuary system, which offers lots of small sites and a long drop toilet. There is no power or water at this location, making it suitable only for fully self-sufficient travellers.

General Comments
Musselroe Bay camping provided us with a comfortable one night stay, if not slightly cramped.
The small sites catered to all camp setups, although it felt most suited to tents. Caravans could go on the top section to allow for a bit more space.
There wasn’t a lot to do at Musselroe Bay camping aside from fishing and walks. If you had a tinny you could launch it off the boat ramp close by and spend a nice day out on the water with a rod. Fishing aside, there were a few nearby towns, although they provided limited attractions.
One night stay was enough for us, although if we’d had a boat we could have easily stayed a little longer.
