Having recently camped up by Un-named tarn (Mt Weld), i was curious as to what would be Tasamania's highest camping spot? And by that i mean an area to pitch the tent properly. Nothing better than the high altitute sunrises / sunsets. Regards Iain.

Tarn near Ossa's summit must rank as one of the highest. Although I have never camped there it would be a good spot on a still night.

I also think that parks do not want people camping up there, as lovely as it might be. Mt Olympus would have to be one of the nicest I've camped at. A tarn near the top of the Guardians also looks very inviting.

It is the highest and a great spot in the right conditions.

Eldon peak was pretty high.
Mt Massif also would have been over 1500m.

You could camp close to the summit of Stacks Bluff, I don't know if you'd want to lug your gear up what is a day walk but it would be over 1500m. Lake Youl on the Ben Lomond plateau is also high with a nice little beach

MJD , that does look special, tho no doubt the conditions would need to be good. The Ben Lomond plateau would be nice too.

Olympus is pretty special

I was lucky on Ossa - it was a June long weekend!
Another high one is near the Ducane Range high point.

The bowl on top of Mt Massif would have to be up there

Yes I mentioned that one. There and PB are the 2 nicest mountains i've camped on easily.

I had bad weather when I was at the Mt Massif Bowl but the sun eventually dropped under the cloud for a brief moment and I could see why people love it so much. A pretty special place that has that great feeling of wilderness and isolation. My tent is to the right of centre.
