Lake Barrington campground sits on the shores of a long, narrow artificial lake in northern Tasmania, about 15 minutes from Sheffield and 40 kilometres south of Devonport.

The lake was formed on the Forth River in 1969 and is renowned as a world-standard rowing venue, having hosted the 1990 World Rowing Championships and the annual Tasmanian schools Head of the River regatta.

Free camping is available at two main areas: Kentish Park on the eastern shore and Lake Barrington Park near Wilmot on the western shore.

The Kentish Park area offers lake views, a boat ramp, pontoons, toilets, rubbish bins, and picnic tables, with some sites in open sun and others under shade trees. The Wilmot-side camp area includes flush toilets and a three-sided shelter.

A 48-hour maximum stay applies. Camping within the State Recreation Area at the rowing course is not permitted.

The lake is popular for swimming, kayaking, water-skiing, power boating, and fishing, with king-size fish stocked by the Inland Fisheries Service (permits required). Pets are permitted at Kentish Park.
