Immerse yourself in the heart of Bruny Island at this private slice of the iconic Neck. The Neck straddles the isthmus of land connecting north and south Bruny Island in southern Tasmania and offers stunning 360 degree views. Just 40 kilometres from Hobart, Bruny is Tasmania's fourth-largest island. Instant book, no minimum nights. Dogs welcome (but please keep them inside the property boundary at all times). Our private campground is surrounded by towering Blue Gums, with nine well separated tent/campervan/caravan sites spaced comfortably across 11 acres. Note there are no toilet facilities here - you will need to take everything you bring with you! Note there is a toilet dump point at Alonnah, a short drive south of The Neck. A short walk along a path through the trees will have you standing on the iconic Neck ocean beach. This 11.5 kilometres of pristine sand and ocean offers surfing, swimming and fishing. The beach is also home to the island's Fairy Penguins who return to their burrows in the sand dunes at dusk. The best viewing period is during the warmer months of September to February. Bruny Island Cheese, Get Shucked Oysters, Bruny Island Honey are a ten-minute drive north. Adventure Bay with its Bowls Club, General Store and Service Station and coffee shop are a 15-minute drive south. Penicott Wilderness Journeys and Fish Bruny Island private charters are also located at Adventure Bay. 15 minutes drive to the south west is Alonnah, where you'll find the brilliant Bruny Island Hotel - a pub with the best food, service and amazing sunset view over the Channel and Satellite Island. Alonnah is also home to the local Police Station, Pharmacy, Cricket Club, two great coffee shop options, and a skate bowl for the concrete shredders. NOTE: your GPS is likely to send you several hundred metres south of the actual property entrance. Look for the small red Australian flag on the side of the road, indicating the location of the entrance. If you arrive at an old weatherboard cottage - you are at the right property, but the incorrect entrance to the campground.

The Neck offers a serene camping experience with spacious and private sites, ideal for those seeking tranquility by the beach. Visitors appreciate the convenient beach access and the site's central location for exploring Bruny Island. While the natural setting is a highlight, some campers noted issues with soft sand causing vehicles to get bogged. Overall, the peaceful atmosphere and proximity to nature make it a favored spot for many campers.

Our family loved staying at the Neck for 3 x nights. Close to a stunning beach and although the sites are quite open we felt we had sufficient privacy also. The location is central to many of Bruny Islands attractions.

Tern.

Wonderful camp site. Plenty of room around the sites which provides plenty of privacy. Easy access to the beach. We had the place to ourselves which was great. The only room for improvement would be to provide a drop toilet, as the price was on par with the park, and dearer than the neck free camp which has a loo.

Amazing little spot with access to both side of the neck with a short 5 minute walk to either side , lovely soft grass surrounded by ferns and beautiful rall trees so you feel closed off and some lovely poteroos occasionally aswell as bird life

Great natural beach location.

Great location, a few minutes walk to the long beach facing the southern ocean with silky sand and very few people. We walked for hours along the beach and enjoyed the tessellated pavement on the southern end. It was a long weekend and all sites were occupied, but still felt private.

We really enjoyed our time at The Neck. The sites were nicely spaced & felt private. It's close to lots of the islands attractions. The only very small draw back was not being able to take my dogs to the beach at the grounds, but there is a dog friendly beach about a 5min drive away which is just a beautiful!
