The Liberals, chasing a fourth term at the March 23 state poll, created the site under the address lambienetwork.com - almost identical to the minor party's lambienetwork.com.au homepage.
It uses a large photo of Ms Lambie and criticises the network for "not releasing a single policy", saying "if you don't know what they stand for, don't vote for them".
Ms Lambie told the ABC the website was grubby.
"I actually feel like they have ripped my clothes off. I cannot believe they have gone that far," the senator, who hails from Tasmania's northwest, said.
"I wish the Liberal Party had spent just as much energy ... on the state of Tasmania as what it has done trying to take out the (network)."
Premier Jeremy Rockliff rejected suggestions his party lacked integrity and had a crack at the network's recently released discussion paper outlining broad policy positions.
"We have every right to point out the policy failings of all political parties," he told reporters on Thursday.
"When it comes to the Jacqui Lambie party (they) have firstly said they'd have no policies and then in desperation their policies appear.
"Anti-job, anti-salmon, anti-wind farm and anti-forestry."
Opinion polls suggest the election will deliver a hung parliament, with Jacqui Lambie's party in the mix to claim crucial seats on the crossbench.
The party is running candidates in four of Tasmania's five electorates.
Mr Rockliff has said he is prepared to govern in minority, but has ruled out making deals with the Greens or trading policies.
Tasmania is heading to the polls more than a year early after the Liberals spent about eight months in minority government.
Under Tasmania's electoral act it is an offence to "publish on the internet, or permit or authorise the publishing on the internet of, any electoral matter that is intended to, is likely to or has the capacity to mislead or deceive an elector in or in relation to the recording of his or her vote".
The state's electoral commission has been contacted for comment.
