BIG4 Tassie Getaway Parks Ulverstone — Hotel in Ulverstone

We roll in on a warm summer’s day, set up camp on the lush grass near the entrance, and take in the scene. Big 4 Ulverstone. A “classic,” they call it. Not sure what that means, but if it’s a euphemism for “half permanent residents,” then yeah, sure, classic.

These aren’t just caravans; they’re fixtures. Wheels long buried, annexes bolted on in a patchwork of plywood and desperation. A DIY architectural fever dream—if shantytown chic is your thing, you’ll feel right at home.

So what makes a great caravan park? For me, it’s simple—no permanents. This one? It leans more Manila back alley than coastal getaway. It’s got the basics: toilets, showers, a place to park your rig. But unless you’re just passing through, I’d look elsewhere.

If you want something with a little more polish, a little more soul, head to Mersey Bluff Caravan Park in Devonport. Ocean views, a vibe you can actually taste. It’s the kind of place you wake up and think, yeah, this is where I want to be.

Edit: Forgot to add (downgraded to 1 star), the caretaker allows his schnauzer to roam free around the park as he works. While the park rules dictate that all dogs need to be on-lead. Probably why we found a present waiting for us when...

Not a bad park, staff are super friendly and will do anything they can to make your stay more enjoyable.

We had a family budget cabin so shouldn't have expected too much, but the bed was really uncomfortable which really put a downer on the trip, being constantly tired made everything that little bit harder.

The kitchen and communal areas were very clean and had everything you needed.

The budget cabin we had included a stove top and and electric dry pan, decent size fridge and reverse cycle air conditioning. It was a very small cabin but had some clever use of space and storage.

Not a hell of a lot to do in Ulverstone, but we went for a family gathering and was good to be close to everyone.

The kids enjoyed the bunks and the common areas. It's very close to a couple of decent parks/playgrounds for the kids.

The bowls club next door did some decent food and had cheap drinks too!

Would give it 5* if it had decent mattresses. The kids had thin foam mattresses and we had a low end double end mattress on our bed. Which cost us a good night sleep.

That said we upgraded from a powered site due to the weather, and it would have been worse in the tent on the...

Great caravan park,in stunning Ulverstone. |Quite a large park with lots of different accommodation options.|We had booked a budget family cabin,our cabin was lovely, it looked like it was very new, sparkling clean and fresh.||The bathroom in this cabin is very nice although quite small,would be tight for 4 people, There is shower wash provided in the shower, and handwash provided at the hand basin.|Shower was great.|I wasl ooking for a hair-dryer but was not able to find one in any of the cupboards.||The bedroom again was very fresh and clean, only a double bed, which was a bit of a surprise, but comfortable.||This park is opposite the beautiful Ulverstone beach. And just outside the gates of the caravan park is an awesome park with a skate park.||Everything you needed was provided in this cabin. If you required anything extra it could be provided to you at a cost e.g extra pillow or blanket.||While this cabin was very nice, it was the most expensive accommodation we stayed in on our trip around North...
