Operated by Wings Wildlife Park · Gunns Plains, Tasmania
Set against the broad, peaceful countryside of Gunns Plains in Tasmania, Wings Wildlife Park offers a camping experience that’s refreshingly grounded in nature and wildlife interaction. This isn’t your typical campground. Here, powered sites provide campers the convenience of electricity while immersing them in fresh country air and open fields dotted with native and exotic creatures. With spacious, flat, drive-through grassy spots, it’s easy to set up a tent or caravan and settle in for a relaxing stay.
What sets Wings Wildlife Park apart is the seamless blend of outdoor recreation and wildlife encounters. Guests gain included access to the farm walk — a contained yet lively area inhabited by animals such as buffalo, camels, emus, alpacas, and bison. This hands-on wildlife experience doubles as a nature walk, offering opportunities to observe and appreciate these unique animals outside traditional zoo enclosures. For those keen on extending their wildlife immersion, the main wildlife area is also available with a single additional fee covering the entire stay.
Beyond wildlife viewing, the park encourages active outdoor fun. Kayak on calm waters, cast your line for fishing, bike along rustic paths, or engage in a casual game of cricket on the open lawns. Facilities like toilets, showers, laundry, and a dump point lie near reception, ensuring that comfort complements rustic living. Note that mobile reception is limited, which adds to the chance to unplug and reconnect with nature.
Wings Wildlife Park’s camping escapes offer an authentic Tasmanian country stroll for anyone who values easy access to nature, practical amenities, and meaningful wildlife encounters. It’s a standout for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and travelers craving a slower pace enriched by the quiet presence of remarkable animals and the wide Tasmanian sky overhead.
