There is an area beside the old Brinktop Hill road, about 2 km out of Richmond on the way to Sorell. You can pick up the Tasman Highway about 8 km away. The site I have in mind is secluded, with no facilities whatsoever, except for a magnificent view over the Richmond valley.
Do you mean somewhere around
here? It's a possibility. A bit basic but would be OK.

You take the last exit left before hitting the main street in Richmond, and you will find a spacious bitumenised area with an excellent toilet block. It is on the opposite side of the main street to Richmond Bakery, and has a little walk lane to a general store.
I saw that, but it seems to be a bus parking area - in fact if I recall, that's exactly where our school tour bus parked when we did the Tasmania Tour 5 or 6 years ago. There does appear to be some
grassy treed parkland here though. I would think it'd be a bit too cheeky to camp here, right in town ??
I'm more interested in
this area, on the edge of town beside the Coal River. What is it used for? Would a mob of 16 cyclists camping there attract unwanted attention? The other curious area is the large grassed area behind the Richmond Arms - looks almost like a village square of some sort
