Emu Bay Hideaway, Kangaroo Island

13 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents80 acres · Emu Bay, SA

Welcome to your dream destination!! We have two different locations available in Kangaroo Island with some options of sites in each. Below you can see details for our Farm stays or Emu Bay Hideaway camp spots. Check below to see what sites are currently open. Emu Bay Hideaway has 30 hectares of peace, mainly vegetated with Kangaroo Island Narrow-leaved Mallee (Eucalyptus cneorifolia, a nationally-protected ecological community). Kangaroos and wallabies are in abundance. It has a wonderful feeling of remoteness and seclusion yet is so close to iconic Emu Bay. Those with 4WD may choose sites overlooking Shoal Bay towards Kingscote. Alternatively, you may set up camp anywhere on the property. There is even one under-cover position with a concrete floor for those concerned about the weather. There are no amenities so guests need to be 100% self-sufficient (including BYO drinking water and toilet) and leave no trace. It is a wild block and only five minutes from the iconic Emu Bay, where the white sandy beach runs for 4kms, most of which is backed by 10 to 20-meter-high dunes. It is one of the best beaches on the island with crystal-clear water. Check with me before lighting a campfire - this depends on the season and risk. Dogs are permitted if well controlled (register visiting dogs with local council). IMPORTANT: I have very limited access to the Internet, only periodically every few days, if that, therefore, I may take some time to respond to inquiries. It is preferred that if you have questions, you can text or call me, Rosalie, on 0490485123. Please note - all bookings MUST still go through the Hipcamp system, no exceptions. Kangaroo Island is serviced by regular ferry - check SeaLink for details.

Throughout the wilderness areas you will also discover old buildings and ruins which have been preserved because of their historical role in the development of the island.

Caravan parks in Kangaroo Island guide

Overview

Arguably the most quintessentially Aussie of islands, at least by name, Kangaroo Island has idyllic beaches, wild bushlands, and wildlife sightings in equal measure. With no public transport on the island, bringing your motorhome or caravan over from the mainland—a 45-minute ferry ride from Cape Jervis—is a smart idea, and campers have plenty of options. Of the seven state-run campgrounds, only two have powered sites available, but all provide toilets, BBQ areas, and picnic benches, while the island's holiday parks and caravan parks have powered sites with free wifi, fire pits, and full amenities. Alternatively, opt for a private Hipcamp and escape the crowds at a rural farm stay or remote bush camp. Wherever you choose, you'll never be more than a short drive from the off-road trails of the Flinders Chase National Park, the white-sand beaches of Vivonne Bay and Snellings Beach, and the wildlife hotspot of Seal Bay.
