Maria Island National Park is six kilometres offshore from the East Coast town of Triabunna. The island is an easy 30-minute trip from Triabunna - about one hour and fifteen minutes drive from Hobart (86km) or two and a half hours from Launceston (186km).
Encounter Maria Island is the official ferry operator to and from Maria Island National Park. See their website for details.
A designated, sheltered campsite is located behind Darlington Bay Beach, 300m from the jetty. Adjacent is the 19th century former convict settlement of Darlington, which remains the principal hub for visitors to the island. The campsite is fully facilitated and fees apply. There are toilets with hot showers ($1 coins), a shelter with fireplaces, free gas barbecues. In winter a limited supply of firewood is available free of charge.
There are two other (free) basic campsites on the island at Frenchs Farm and Encampment Cove, a three-to-four-hour walk south. Fuel stoves only at Frenchs Farm. There are composting toilets and non-treated (tank) rainwater.
Bookings are not required for camping. There are no shops on Maria Island.
The convict penitentiary in Darlington has bunkhouse accommodation. This must be pre-booked through the Triabunna Visitor Centre....
