According to Tasmania Police, the crash occurred at the West Kentish Road Campgrounds at 2:00am. The vehicle crashed through a tent containing two adults and three children, then narrowly missed another camping site before colliding with a tree.
Those in the tent are being treated for injuries from minor lacerations to suspected internal injuries and were transported to Northwest Regional Hospital earlier this morning.
Following the event, the police have brought a 27-year-old man into custody, alleging he was at the wheel of the vehicle during the event.
Acting Sergeant Fabienne Jamieson said police received information that the male was exhibiting anti-social behaviour prior to the crash.
"As we continue our investigation into the incident, we seek any information from members of the public who were in the area at the time," she added.
