New Pelion Hut sits on the Pelion Plains beside Douglas Creek, and is a key overnight stop roughly halfway along Tasmania’s Overland Track. This designated public campsite surrounds the hut with raised tent platforms, composting toilets, and rainwater tanks, providing additional capacity for walkers. Camping and hut use are covered by the Overland Track fee (about AUD $300 per adult in peak season), which must be booked and paid in advance via the official Tasmania Parks booking portal: service.tas.gov.au/services/recreation-and-animals/parks-and-reserves/book-the-overland-track.
