Fickle Break Farm is a 28-acre coastal property on the doorstep of a world-class surf break, only 30 mins from Hobart. You can walk out the door with your surfboard, bike, or running shoes and jump in the ocean or onto several beautiful coastal walking and riding trails.
We are 10 minutes away from Lauderdale shops and 10 mins to the best surf beaches in Hobart on the South Arm Peninsula.
Pitch your tent or park your set up on our beautiful grassy hilltop campsite overlooking the South Arm Peninsula and Mt Wellington in the distance. You'll enjoy good access to Mays Point surf break and the Clarence Coastal Trail just a few mins away with walking tracks to Cremorne and Lauderdale along the coast.
The camping area has a communal fire pit, access to fresh water and power in our large shed if needed, and a table tennis table. We are on tank water, so please be mindful of this. And please drive slowly and be mindful of treading lightly on the land.
We also offer a 5m lotus belle stargazer tent, situated at the very top of the property, nestled amongst the native trees and with water views, it has a luxurious queen-sized bed with beautiful linens and is a short walk away from the walking tracks to the beach.
All guests have access to our well-maintained composting toilet with water views and a beautiful hot outdoor shower that is open to the sky.
Next door is a large sheep property, and on our land we have friendly chooks, peacocks, Guinea pigs, miniature goats, horses and a border collie. Guests and children are welcome to pat, feed and cuddle the chooks, Guinea pigs, horses and the miniature goats!
Dogs are welcome as long as they are friendly with other dogs and people, and can be trusted not to escape to the next-door sheep property (beware as farmers can be ruthless with dogs!). They will need to be supervised and restrained (tied up or placed in our closed-in yard at night so they don’t disturb wallabies and other wildlife).
We love meeting new people and are passionate about our beautiful property so we can’t wait to share it with you!

Quoll Hideaway - Bruny Island Bush & Beach camping
1 site · RV, Tent3 acres · Apollo Bay, TAS
"Quoll Hideaway - Bruny Island Bush & Beach Camping" is our slice of paradise and we are looking forward to sharing it with you.
The plot is nearly 3 acres and is earmarked conservation land and surrounded by neighbouring conservation land. This is your perfect lunawuni/Bruny Island escape! It is tucked away from the no-through gravel road and surrounded by Australian bush and wildlife with filtered water views of D'Entrecasteaux Channel and 100 m from the beach.
It's a tranquil heaven yet so close to all the famous Bruny sites and must dos:
Bruny oysters, beer and cheese (why not bring some to the campsite to enjoy?)
The Neck, Truganini Lookout + penguins!
Cape Queen Elizabeth Track and other hiking trails
Adventure Bay and white wallabies,
South Bruny, and the Light house
When you book our site, you have it all to yourself! Except for sharing it with the wildlife, of course.
As the name suggests, there is a family of quolls living on the land and you are very likely to see them! Once dusk arrives and the stars start lighting up the sky, the quolls usually come out to say hi before they start their night activities. Joining the quolls, are the potoroos who are not afraid to come up close and sniff your feet in curiosity. If you are yet to see a quoll and a potoroo in the wild, this is your campsite!
Other wildlife includes the endangered Forty Spotted Pardalote and critically endangered Swift Parrots.
To access the beach, simply walk through the property to the end of the plot and follow the path. There is an echidna living near the road so keep an eye out for her.
The campsite is a perfect spot to see wildlife, and birds, and for photography.
On the campsite is a large outdoor kitchen with two sinks. Wait... is there a bathtub? Yes! The bathtub is great for a bush shower (byo solar shower) as the taps are not connected.
You must bring your own toilet.
Rainwater is available too, we have two tanks!
Campfires are allowed but you cannot collect firewood on the property. Please bring your own firewood or add it at the time of booking and we will provide you with firewood for your stay. The land is a conservation area and quolls are known to live in up to 5 nests. They live under the logs and it is an important habitat for the species. We love the quolls and know you will too so please do not disturb their homes.
The site is excellent for stargazing once nightfall arrives. Simply BYO a hammock (we have prepared the setup!) and lie down to watch the stars with a glass of red or a hot chocolate.
We recommend campervans for the site and it's only suited to self-contained campers leaving no trace behind.
Available on-site and free to use are also a director's chair and a table. The kitchen is also equipped with a double sink, dish rack, two buckets, BBQ tools, cutlery, and a dustpan. There is also a cleaning kit with biodegradable spray, hand sanitizer, and soap. There are also a set of caravan/van leveling ramps and chocks for you to freely use.
The site is perfect for those wishing to find privacy amongst an otherwise busy Island. Escape the tourists and experience Bruny Island like a local.

The best camping near Tasman National Park guide
Overview
About
Tasman National Park is a treasure trove of natural splendour, offering an array of activities for the adventurous at heart. From the awe-inspiring heights of Australia's tallest sea cliffs to the serene beauty of Fortescue Bay's white sands, the park beckons outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you're keen on coastal walks, kayaking amid the waves, or marvelling at the local wildlife, there's something here for every nature lover. And for those who wish to linger longer, the park's campgrounds provide a perfect base to explore and unwind under the stars.
Notable campgrounds
- Fortescue Bay Camping: Nestled among tall blue gums and stringybarks, this campground offers a golden beach and a plethora of peninsula activities.
- Bivouac Bay Camping: A peaceful retreat after exploring the coastal bushwalks, Bivouac Bay is an idyllic spot to rest and rejuvenate.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Book early to secure your spot, as campgrounds in Tasman National Park are highly sought after, especially during peak seasons.
- Consider visiting during off-peak times for a better chance at snagging a reservation and a more tranquil experience.
- Keep an eye on cancellation policies and be ready to book if a spot opens up last minute.
- Explore nearby camping options to ensure you have a backup plan in case your preferred campground is fully booked.
When to go
The best time to visit Tasman National Park is during the warmer months, from November to April, when the weather is ideal for outdoor activities. However, be mindful of the fire ban season, which typically starts in October, as this can affect camping and certain activities. Winter can be cold and wet, making some tracks less accessible and outdoor activities less enjoyable.
Know before you go
- Always check for alerts on campfire restrictions or area closures before planning your trip to Tasman National Park.
- Ensure you have a valid parks pass, which is required for entry into the park.
- Be prepared for changing weather conditions and pack accordingly for safety and comfort.
- Accessible facilities are available at certain attractions, but assistance may be required for some paths and lookouts.
- Respect the park's rich Aboriginal heritage and natural environment by following the Leave No Trace principles.
