UPPER NATONE FOREST RESERVE

Public BBQ

Upper Natone Forest Reserve emerges as Tasmania's quiet achiever, tucked conveniently near Burnie yet worlds away from urban bustle. The centerpiece lagoon anchors this spacious reserve, where timber BBQ areas dot the landscape alongside sturdy tables and public toilets with proper flushing facilities. Camping enthusiasts discover ample room for everything from swags to big rigs, with no permits required and zero fees attached. The walking tracks meander through native forest and circle the small lake, perfect for families with bicycles or those seeking gentle exercise. Wildlife sightings reward patient observers, while hidden sites throughout the reserve invite exploration. Children gravitate toward the playground swings, though occasional maintenance lapses mean visitors might encounter scattered rubbish around fire pits. The atmosphere remains remarkably peaceful, with most days seeing few other visitors. Dog owners appreciate the pet-friendly policies, and the reserve's proximity to Burnie makes it ideal for extended stays or afternoon picnics. Those seeking unspoiled Tasmanian bushland without crowds consistently find Upper Natone delivers exactly that experience.
