Tas - Autumn Rally at Eugenana
2026-05-21 - 2026-05-23 | Tas Eugenana, Lakeside Tourist Caravan Park 76 Lakeside Rd, Eugenana, Tasmania, 7310, Australia
Our 2026 Autumn Rally will be at The Lakeside Tourist Caravan Park Eugenana.
76 Lakeside Rd Eugenana
The park is in a very picturesque area of the North West Coast near Latrobe / Devonport and is on the site of an old quarry. It has a laid back country atmosphere and has a great bush walk track along an old railway bed heading towards Devonport and is also next door to the Tasmanian Arboretum which is well worth a look.
There are also great walks along river to spot a few platypus families.
Our dates are Thursday 21st, Friday 22nd and Saturday 23rd May but as always, come earlier and/or stay later if you wish.
We have some sites put aside for us at the park, so to reserve yours just ring 6427 2343 and tell them you are with the Ulysses RV Group and they will put us all close together.
On the Friday night at Prickly Mo the nearby vineyard, there will be a night of live music, food and drinks.
It is Bluesy foot-stomping style music and the vineyard is only 300 metres away so it’s easy walking. The winery opens at 12 noon that day, serving fruit and cheese platters and the music will start about 6.30pm, finishing about 9.30pm.
A cover charge will be $5 which is to support the musician and a yummy Thai food truck will also be on site and starts cooking about 530pm.
The cellar door shed a real pearl, being an old shearing shed converted into a real funky venue with rustic bush style interior.
We have some reserved seats inside the shed but you must let me know by the 13th May if you are coming so we can let them know how many to keep space for. This is important because it is not a big shed and the venue is popular with locals.

And Saturday night is our BBQ and music night with our own Dusty and friends.

Following the popularity of our May Tag-along Rally and our recent Mildura Rally (which had an optional free camping night on the way up and another on the way back), we have decided to visit several places for this rally. We understand time may be limited for many people at this time of year, so we have kept it to 5 nights.
Starting on Thursday 6th November for 3 nights at Benalla Tourist Park. (6/7/8)
Departing on Sunday 9th November for Boosey Creek Tavern in Katamatite (Free camp)
Final night Monday 10th November at the Yark Recreational Reserve – (Free Camp)

Their prices are:

Unfortunately because they are a small park they will not hold any sites for us and will require payment of the first night as a deposit (refundable with notice). They are aware we are a group, so if you mention you are with Ulyssess RV Group we should be grouped as much as possible. Pet friendly park.
The Boosey Creek Tavern—33-31 Beek St, Katamatite.
They will have an acoustic
guitarist also playing at lunchtime. They have kindly offered us free camping for the night, behind their tavern providing we have a meal there (either lunch or dinner).
Yark Recreation Reserve– Goodear Lane Yarck
A lovely, level, grassy field with plenty of room, just off the Maroondah Hwy, down past the Yarck Hotel. We have stayed here before and thought it may be a good night to have another communal barbie and campfire. Watch this space.
