  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Bruny Island's Campsite 1 is a tranquil retreat offering privacy and a spacious setup, perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle. Visitors consistently praise the location's natural beauty, abundant wildlife, and the convenience of a well-maintained fire pit with generous firewood supply. However, access can be challenging, especially after rain, so caution is advised. Despite this, the site remains a favorite for its peaceful ambiance and proximity to island attractions.

    What a wonderful spot! Entrance a little tricky (just take it slow) but the site is fantastic. Mostly flat with a great fire pit and MASSES of firewood! We really appreciated it as we have just come back to live in Tassie after 20 years in Queensland, so even though the days were lovely, it was a tad chilly for us. The site is totally private with a short stroll to the bay and central to every attraction on the island. A highlight was seeing a pair of yellow-tailed black cockatoos. We absolutely loved our stay here and I reckon it will be one of our favourites!

    Having a huge open space all to your own is great. Easy to find and good location.
