1 night at Heron Cove, Bruny Island

An awesome site and friendly host. Beautiful scenery with the cove and private location.

1 night at Eventide Sanctuary

This camp has amazing views and it was private. There is a menagerie of rescue animals of all kinds that have free range and are all very friendly. We were impressed with the work to provide safe haven to and education toward better outcomes for animals.

1 night at Semaphore Farm

Mariana was such a wonderful host. We loved hearing about the history of the farm and how it was built and used by family first. You’re an amazing business women and should be proud of your accomplishments! It was beautiful walking down to the beach at sunset. The campsite is very basic but everything we needed.

1 night at Southport Bay Views

We found this slice of heaven perfect for our overnight stop whilst exploring the south end of Tasmania. With power, water and level lush grass green site, what more could you want Enjoyed our stay and happy to recommend to future travellers .

2 nights at Quoll Hideaway - Bruny Island Bush & Beach camping

Quoll hideaway was fantastic. A highlight of our trip as the quolls came out to play! It was so great sitting and watching them. We were also visited by a potoroo, which was very cute. The camp kitchen works really well and provides a great spot to sit and wait for the animals to emerge. It was easy to find and close to the beach. We also had some fabulous oysters which we sat and enjoyed on the camp kitchen. Thanks so much Linda hopefully we will be back!

1 night at Clifton Beach Coastal Escape

We had an amazing, peaceful stay at Clifton Beach. It was a natural paradise with black cockatoos and an inquisitive bandicoot in a lovely bush setting. The 'shed' provided was much appreciated with a wood fired heater and beautiful timber features and seating. Lynne and Alan are great communicators and let us know all about the area. We will recommend this hipcamp to all we know on the mainland and hope to be back. A true 5 star experience!

1 night at Semaphore Farm

Camping at Semaphore Farm was a very pleasant experience. Although we only stayed for one night, the instructions were clear, and everything was explained to us upon arrival. Communication was smooth and friendly overall. The camp is located in a beautiful setting and has everything you need — great facilities including a clean toilet, shower, and a cozy kitchen/common area. I definitely recommend it!

Weekend Trip to Southport Bay Views

Great place to base yourself to explore the south coast. Can get a bit windy so factor that into your setup. Excellent camp kitchen and lots of bird life to see e.g. Flame Robbin, Sea Eagle, Black Swan. Stock up before you get there as only basics from the caravan park store available.

Weekend Trip to Ladychapel Camp Grounds

Secluded high spot, firewood provided, near town centre, great farm stay

Weekend Trip to Quoll Hideaway - Bruny Island Bush & Beach camping

Beautiful location and abundant with wildlife. Linda’s comms we’re quick and super helpful! I set up a hammock and watched the wallabies bounce by. A little pottaroo joins us for a bit, bloody adorable! And then we saw some quolls. One main one having a little sticky at the camp. Amazing to see though very shy and skittish. So glad we got to see wild quolls. Also, the ocean/lake beach is super close and also incredibly stunning. Highly recommend!

2 nights at Semaphore Farm

Location to Port Aethur was fantastic. The rustic camp kitchen was very user friendly. Great hot shower. The long drop composting toilet was very welcome and it did not smell. Plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy this lovely farm. My dog had a ball. Marion is a marvellous host and thanks to her phone call got to see an aurora. Would highly recommend ✨️

1 night at Heron Cove, Bruny Island

Great spot, absolutely stunning! So much wildlife to watch. The main house is pretty close but the owners are really lovely and gave us the space, so it still felt quite private. Highly recommend.

3 nights at Semaphore Farm

Right next door to Port Arthur Historal site. Dog friendly. Can have a fire if you wish. Host was fantastic shared the history of the farm and surrounds. Site Manager was really lovely person. Would stay again.

2 nights at Heron Cove, Bruny Island

Lovely and Peaceful. We needed a couple of days RnR as we have been on the Road for over 2 months and this Hideaeay was Perfect. We really loved that you have the Whole Place to yourselves as they only take 1 Booking at a Time. We recommended this spot to a few of our friends who are now planning to stay there too when they next visit Bruny Island. Including a couple of Taswiegens who didn't even know about this place. Thanks for a lovely stay. We will be back next time we visit Tasmania from South Australia. Cheers L&D

4 nights at Ladychapel Camp Grounds

Great location and great views, we stayed for 5 nights with another family. There was so much space and the kids all under 10 were off making cubby houses in the ferns and trees lines for days.

1 night at Heron Cove, Bruny Island

Excellent hosts, good location, use of Kayaks, close to ferry.

Weekend Trip to Semaphore Farm

Lovely camp, plenty of space and the facilities were great. The kitchen was fully equiped with utensils, pots, pants, etc. No electricity which was ok. The shower was spacious and worked perfectly. Caretaker very helpfull and kind.
