BIG4 Kelso Sands Holiday and Native Wildlife Park Overview

BIG4 Kelso Sands Holiday and Native Wildlife Park is situated at the top of the beautiful Tamar Valley Region on the mid north coast of Tasmania. Our Tamar Valley caravan park is an hour’s drive from Launceston airport or 55 minutes’ drive from the Spirit of Tasmania through picturesque countryside bordering Narawntrapu National Park. Stay in a cabin with views of the river, drive your van onto a powered site or set up camp on one of our many powered and unpowered sites. The Tamar has great wineries, stunning scenery, amazing attractions & abundant wildlife & some incredible walks through the Narawntapu National Park & the stunning Holwell Gorge Falls.
