Emu Bay Hideaway, Kangaroo Island

100%
(18)
29km from American River · 15 sites · Tents, RVs
Welcome to your dream destination!!
We have two different locations available in Kangaroo Island with some options of sites in each.
FIRST LOCATION:
EMU BAY HIDEAWAY-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.
SECOND LOCATION:
Farm Stay about 15 km from Emu Bay and 20km from the main town of Kingscote. This is an operating small sheep farm of over 100ha. For security reasons the exact location is not advertised, but will be disclosed upon arrival on Kangaroo Island.
There are several beautiful sites. This location is fairly central to most KI visitor attractions. It is a secure place to set up camp and have peace of mind that your belongings will be safe while you are away from the site. The host takes care to situate sites to give campers the feeling of exclusiveness.
NOTES;
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: As I have very limited access to the Internet, 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. As the service requires advance bookings, please secure your passage to the island before booking your site. Thank you.

78km from American River · 7 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Welcome to Marron Bush Escape, located in Gosse, in the Western River area (western end, near Flinders Chase National Park) of beautiful Kangaroo Island!
This is a beautiful, remote, rural 250 acre private property, it is home to a number of sheep, features dams that have Marron and boasts the best that nature has to offer. Rest assured, you will not see any neighbours on this property; just picturesque landscapes everywhere you look! It is approximately a 1.5 hour drive from Penneshaw, where you get off the ferry.
We offer powered and unpowered camp sites, as well as a bush, cabin.
Camp fires (small) are allowed when fire restrictions allow. There is a fire pit that can be used when there is no fire ban, with barbecue plate and camp ovens for old-style bush cooking or cooking up your fresh organic Kangaroo Island Marron.
There is a drop toilet at the back and external lights and an external kitchen sink with hot and cold water.
There is one drop dunny and limited rain water (you are welcome to bring your own drinking water if you need extra).
For your convenience, there are recycling and rubbish bins at corner of Snug and Colman’s Rd for all waste disposal.
On half of our property we have sheep and lambs in the paddocks. Bring your camera, and you just might be lucky enough to see little lambs playing and even being born. We may also be shearing and invite you to see how this is done. The other half of the property is untouched natural scrub with grass and trees 12 foot tall. There are koalas, eagles, kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas and lots of other native animals and a creek with small waterfalls. In winter time the ground can be boggy, so a 4WD is desirable and will allow you to explore further.
From the cabin, make your way down past the dams and go through the shiny gate at the bottom of the hill (please close the gate behind you). Here, you'll discover 125 acres of untouched Kangaroo Island wilderness with walking trails to explore. Keep an eye out for koalas, kangaroos, wedge-tail eagles, wallabies, large grass trees etc
We also have two small lakes that you can have a picnic by or drop some Marron nets in for a fresh feed. There are weighing scales provided at the shed so you can pay for them. This is on an honesty system- so please do the right thing, as we have already been burnt from the fires. You must contact me if you wish to fish for marron prior to catching any.
There are no shops or restaurants close by (stock up before arriving!) and you will need to travel down dirt roads but you will really have the opportunity to get off the grid, get back to nature and make memories in the stunning, untouched, Kangaroo Island wilderness!

Site 1 was perfect for us with kids as both the kitchen and toilets were really close by. We didnt have to lug the gas stove, tables and chairs with us as the Kitchen had all these. It has a gas flat grill plate BBQ which was great for us. The space is huge and the kids had a blast running around. It did get a bit cooler there at night time which we didn't expect so pack some warm clothes (we went 2nd weekend of Feb). There are 3 adorable dogs that visited on and off and we played "fetch" with them. Kylie was lovely - she popped in to say hi and also gave my friend duct tape to fix her pole which accidentally snapped. And she also handed my friend some fresh eggs which my friend enjoyed thoroughly 😊 All in all, a great stay and I'll be coming back soon when we can have a fire.

Marilyn is a very communicative and helpful host, meeting you on arrival to ensure everything is as you need. The farm is in the mos lt beautiful & peaceful location, just out of town, so the best of both worlds! It has lovely sunsets and the most amazing stars at night and the only sound is birdsong each morning!

We really enjoyed our stay at Koala Coast Retreat. Heath (and Possum!) were wonderful hosts, taking the time to show us around and helping us get our van positioned just right. The views across the coast are fantastic.
There’s a great sitting area outside the games room where campers naturally came together for happy hour chats before dinner, which created a really friendly atmosphere. There are several walks to choose from, including one that takes you to the donkeys and horse — feeding them carrots provided by Heath on arrival was a lovely touch.
The retreat is conveniently close to Myponga and Normanville, where you can find all the shops you need. One of our favourite outings was a beach walk followed by a stop at the microbrewery on the way back.
We loved our stay and would definitely consider returning.
Callum, Susan and Jester.

Classic camp spot with beautiful surroundings in the idillyc Inman Valley! Great central location between Victoria Harbor, Normanville & some of the best beaches in SA! Kylie and her daughters are gracious hosts and welcomed me with open arms! Definitely recommend for those seeking peace and quiet and a restful night under the stars! - also, don't miss brunch at Bellalisious , a roadside crepe house , just two minutes drive down the road for good coffee, ambiance and friendly staff and locals!!

Unfortunately due to hot weather we haven’t actually been able to stay at the site. However the team have been brilliant in understanding and have allowed us to rebook. We look forward to staying in April. Inman Valley is a prime spot so I’m sure we will love the site.

An amazing stay was had! We arrived late from KI and Heath was right there giving us a rundown of the property with all the animals and walking trails. We unfortunately only stayed the one night as we had to be on our way. We'll definitely be back to do some more exploring and to see all of the views we've heard so much about. Can't wait to visit again!🤩

It’s a great spot to stay for all ages! The view (and breeze) is great no matter what site you are on, and the stars on a clear night are phenomenal.
The kids loved the sandpit and swings plus animals encounters of sheep, chickens, donkeys and rescue horses. Unfortunately didn’t see any koalas, maybe next time!!
Heath and Allan were friendly and super helpful hosts.
The park is in the middle of upgrading however that did not take away from our time there, when it’s finished it’ll be even better.

Great off grid spot. Quiet with plenty of wildlife. Great night skies showing all the stars.
Rain water tank on site to refill. Good toilet block. A shower in the disabled toilet can be used.
Site 3 is further from the toilet block than 1 and 2 but only a 2 minute walk
