"Quoll Hideaway - Bruny Island Bush & Beach Camping" is our slice of paradise and we are looking forward to sharing it with you. New! Aug 2024: the site now has a flat patch for campers visiting 🏕️ 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 (*we give you a map on where to go to find the 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. Questions? Please reach out!

Al and Lyn were amazing hosts. We felt well accommodated while staying at their hipcamp site. The site is part of their property and incorporates a rustic studio room with fireplace. This was great for a bit of extra space to relax. Nothing seemed too much trouble. We really appreciated their wonderful hospitality. We would not hesitate to stay with them again or to recommend them highly to our family and friends.

Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights here. Cosy & protected. Great fire - wood supplied. Which was perfect as it was rainy & cold outside. Allan was easy to communicate with & super helpful when there was a alight hiccup with the Hipcamp portal. Must have your own toilet - there are public amenities not far (8-10min walk) at the surf club if you prefer. Loved the private outdoor hot shower. Sink, fridge &power. Was a great treat to extend out of our little caravan into our timber retreat Bird life & little bandicoots - there was even an elephant seal at Clifton Beach visiting !

6 nights at Quoll Hideaway - Bruny Island Bush & Beach camping
Nice quite bush block. Lots of friendly quolls, bandicoots, wallabies and birds sharing our camp site. We where there on a busy weekend (Anzac day long weekend) so it was nice to be at our own private camp-site (as the all the popular attractions on the island where packed!) We had no problems setting up our 22ft caravan on the levelled caravan site provided. Yes it is a wee bit tight getting in and out but we had no issues with this. Its only a short walk to Apollo Bay from the camp, which has a nice little beach area, seating and camp fire BBQ which we also had to ourselves for the week. Lindas communication was excellent. I highly recommend for anyone who preferes there own space (vs a busy caravan park)

The Clifton Beach/ South Arm are is an incredible place but with real limited camping options. Allan and Lyns place was a refreshing option. The hut gave a bit of room to spread out and the deck was great compared to what we are use to Only a 10 minute walk to Clifton Beach and central to some great hiking options. There property is well maintained and privacy ensured Thank you both for being such great hosts

Weekend Trip to Deep Glen Coastal Campsite
Perfectly placed campground on the Tasman Peninsula, just above Pirates Bay. What we loved most was the two camp sites had plenty of space, and we didn't feel like we were crowded in. Easy access to each site, long drop toilet available, and a lovely area to explore. Cubed (retro coffee van) is a short walk away for a lazy start to Saturday and Sunday mornings. The 'best bang for buck' bushwalk to Waterfall Bluff is an easy 10 minute drive, and thoroughly recommended. We took our own firewood however the hosts can arrange this if you don't have your own supply. We fell asleep each night to the distant roar of waves, with the occasional hoot-hoot of an owl. Other visiting night-life included pademelons and bandicoots. Our hosts provided sound local knowledge, and we will definitely be back again.

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!

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!

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!

My wife and I stayed two nights on a Sunday and Monday late March 2025 in our 8m motorhome. The site is nicely designed with a low deck you can locate your RV next to, and a walkway to the little timber shed with sink, hot water, and bar fridge plus a wood burning stove and furniture. Having power and water hookup was appreciated and one of the reasons we chose this Hipcamp site. The water is filtered tank rainwater with a pump, and we also used our own inline filter to our MH. The owners were very responsive in replying to our booking and enquiries, although they weren't home and their son was looking after their house. Found it pretty quiet, and the birdsong was nice. We did think it would be a bit more remote but there are houses all along one side of the property and a few barking dogs. The main house is not far away and visible from the rear of the site and when entering the property. It would be really good if in a caravan and 4wd so you could go exploring the area in the car.
