What have you got planned for Father’s Day weekend in St Helens?

Maybe the best plan is to have no plan at all.

Do nothing with the ones you love.
-Have a walk along the beach.
-Hunt for shells with the kids.
-Spend an hour at the skate park.
-Grab some fish and chips and find a spot by the water.
-Sit back, slow down and enjoy being together.

Because sometimes the best Father’s Day memories aren’t the big adventures — they’re the simple things you do together.

So this Father’s Day weekend, why not make your plans simple? Less rushing, more laughing. Less schedules, more family time.

Come to St Helens, park the car and rediscover the joy of doing very little… together. 💙

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandads and father figures!

Pancakes with a purpose!

At Tassie Getaway Parks St Helens, we’ve been flipping pancakes, serving up smiles and raising money for a wonderful local cause.

We’re delighted to share that this year, our Pancake Wednesdays raised an incredible $1,710, which we've donated to the St Helens Hospital Auxiliary!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for pancakes and helped make this donation possible. Your support, one pancake at a time, is helping make a difference in our local community.

We love being part of St Helens and supporting the people and organisations that make our community so special. ❤️

Thank you for helping us give back!

Take a drive into the Pyengana Valley

Ready to escape the coast for a little while? Take the scenic drive from St Helens into the beautiful Pyengana Valley, where rolling green hills, lush farmland and spectacular mountain scenery await.

Stop along the way to discover some of the region's hidden gems, including the impressive St Columba Falls, Pyengana Dairy Company Dairy and Cafe and the Pub in the Paddock, or simply slow down and enjoy the peaceful country roads and stunning views.

It's the perfect little road trip when you're staying on Tasmania's East Coast – and a great reminder that sometimes the best adventures are found just by taking the scenic route.

Holiday for a cause this August!

Looking for a getaway with a little more meaning? Join the Friends of Larapuna Coast for their Larapuna Community Weekend, 21–23 August 2026.

This incredible Wildcare group brings volunteers together to explore some of Tasmania's most beautiful coastline while helping protect it.

Volunteers will walk the beaches, survey and remove invasive sea spurge, collect marine debris and help improve habitat for beach-nesting birds such as the Hooded Plover. And along the way? Plenty of fresh air, incredible scenery and great company.

You can join for one day or the whole weekend, with walks ranging from 6–13km:

Friday: Stumpys Bay to Deep Creek – 13km
Saturday: Deep Creek to Eddystone Point – 6km or 9km options
Sunday: Abbotsbury Beach – 7km

It's a wonderful way to experience Tasmania's East Coast while giving something back to the places that make it so special.

Please note: participants must already be registered with Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service as a volunteer and register for each day.

👉 Find out more and sign up with Friends of Larapuna Coast.

Camping is better when you’re all together.

There’s something about camping that makes the whole family slow down, switch off and reconnect.

Less screen time, more muddy feet, shared meals, morning walks and stories that somehow get funnier every time you tell them.

It’s a chance to step away from the everyday routine, breathe in some fresh air and make the kind of memories that stick with you long after the tent is packed away.

At BIG4 St Helens, there’s space for the kids to play, room to relax and plenty of adventures waiting just beyond the park.

Because sometimes, the best way to recharge is to get away together.

BBQ with a view? We’ve got a few!

Our BBQ area at the front of BIG4 St Helens is the perfect spot to keep things easy while you’re on holiday. Located right opposite the playground and close to our powered sites, it’s ideal for a morning bacon & egg breakfast or a quick sausage sanga for the kids after they’ve worked up an appetite playing.

And the best part? Our BBQs are free to use!

Fancy a change of scenery? You’ll find more BBQs tucked into our outdoor camp kitchen, so you can switch up your BBQ views throughout your stay.

Because sometimes the best holiday meals are the simplest ones.
