General Comments
Teds Beach Lake Pedder Campground was a great location and didn’t cost us a cent with our annual National Parks Pass. This beachfront campsite allowed travellers to camp right on Teds Beach, however we decided to go around the back of the site because of how jam packed it was on the beachside.
The family loved our spot at the back because it allowed us more space to spread out, plus we were protected from the wind.
This campsite was the perfect base for checking out Lake Pedder and the surrounds, like the Gordon River Dam wall which was impressive to say the least! It was 140 metres high making it the tallest dam in Tasmania, and the fifth tallest in Australia. The Lake Pedder local surrounds had a great wilderness feel, some amazing structures to check out, a few cool bush tracks, and ample natural beauty!
We also visited Strathgordon which was three kilometres down the road, and had a hotel and bar area that was pretty cool too.
Back at the campsite there was the option for fishing, putting the boat out via the boat ramp, or having a swim. The swimming was great and the water temperature lovely. The camp also had BBQs and a simple camp kitchen area that offered enough tables for a small group of people.
There was untreated water available to use (but we didn’t) and bins onsite too.
