Camp Sandford
4. Camp Sandford
Sandford, TAS · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
A campsite all to yourself! Camp Sandford is located on our 2-acre bushland property, nestled in the heart of the South Arm Peninsula. Family- and pet-friendly (well-behaved pets only), children can enjoy the cubby house, and the attached mud kitchen can even double as a spot to wash dishes — sounds like a job for the young ones!
With several surf beaches within a 5–10 minute drive, beautiful Mortimer Bay just a short, flat walk away, and private access to the Tangara Trail — offering 250 km of recreational trails through bushland and coastal reserves — you won’t be short of adventures.
The local wildlife may come by to say hello. We regularly see wallabies, robins, and bandicoots, with occasional visits from echidnas, peregrine falcons, collared sparrowhawks, blue-tongue lizards, and even a snake or two (something to keep in mind during the warmer months).
There is easy access for caravans and trailers, and tents are very welcome. Guests must bring their own toileting system or choose to rent the camp toilet tent when booking. At this stage, we can offer 10-amp power, but all water must be BYO. Caravans may require levellers due to a very mild slope on the site, though they are not essential. A fire pit is available during non-fire-ban periods.
There is enough space for two caravans if you'd like to book with friends. Strictly no parties or amplified music. This is also our family home, though the campsite is screened from our house by trees and shrubbery, so noise should be kept to a minimum after 9 pm.
Driving times:
• Lauderdale (closest shops and cafés): 10 mins
• Clifton Beach (surfing): 10 mins
• Hobart Airport: 20 mins
• Coal River Valley wine region: 25 mins

"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.

Stormlea, TAS · 1 site · Tent, RV
Basic bush camping beside a man-made lake on a 100-acre rainforest property. Only one person/group allowed at any time, and guests enjoy a private walking-track into the Tasman National Park to Tunnel Bay and can explore the property at their leisure. From Tunnel Bay, Shipstern Bluff is easily accessed, or a Cape Raoul circuit walk is a unique day-walk option. Early check-in and/or late check-out is fine. BYO firewood.
Please note: The main track is in excellent condition, but is very steep in parts, and the weather here is changeable and often extremely wild (as in, gale-force wild), thus this place is best suited to fit and well-prepared bushwalkers/campers. If your expectation is a quiet night around the fire, you may well be disappointed.
Your own small bathroom is available (with toilet and sink - hot water). Fresh drinking water is provided. Free Wifi access near the residence, otherwise patchy Optus and Telstra around the block. You can charge your devices at no cost.
The driveway and the property are not suitable for large campervans and typical commercial-style camping; this is a steep and slippery bush block. Two-wheel drive vehicle-access is generally fine, but care is required on the driveway. There is an opportunity for an extended stay in exchange for light gardening work, by prior discussion.
This is a private residence in a uniquely quiet and secluded location on the edge of a high-value national park. Due to serious fire risk and the potentially devastating impact on the surrounding area, campfires are highly restricted and permitted only in safe weather conditions. Check with me first.
The property is largely undisturbed temperate rainforest, featuring creeks, springs, a 35-metre waterfall (after good rain), great plant and animal diversity. You may spot a resident Tasmanian devil, and you’ll certainly be surrounded by native marsupials—plus the odd enthusiastic greeting from my doodle dog, Roo.

Weekend Trip to Valley's Nest
Valleys Nest made an impact on me and my partner Alana … the hidden oasis is clearly a bi-product and a testament to the essence and philosophy of its creators. There’s an obvious harmony with nature at the forefront of its build, a mission to rewild ourselves once again and to deepen our connection with the land we tread on everyday. Valleys nest was everything we hoped it would be, a fresh reminder of our role in the cosmos, a chance to stare up at the stars and remind yourself where you sit in that hierarchy. After 10 days of sleeping in our car travelling the full coast of Tasmania, this was the perfect reward for my brave partner who held her head high in many cold dark nights in the wilderness…

I loved camping here! Ann is super lovely and the place has such a charm to it- lots of wildlife around and a nice flat spot to set up my tent for a while. She was incredibly welcoming to me and my dog and the on site toilet (and the entire property) has character and is quaint, functional and cute. I'll be coming back here for sure, nice convenient location also! 🌸

Beautiful spot.
Google Maps sent us the completely wrong way, quick call to Natalie had us back on track and a Friendly welcome on arrival.
Shame that the wind was howling and cold so no fishing on the dam. Would definitely recommend and would visit again

Site 4 was very good and suited our needs, surprisingly was pretty dry underfoot considering how much rain has fallen in the last couple weeks. Only minor issue was being a bit tight to reverse into site but doable and wouldn’t stop us from staying there again.

Dragon River Campground is an amazing place to unwind and recharge. The location is absolutely stunning, offering plenty of privacy and a real sense of escape from everyday life.
Graham was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.
For anyone looking for some genuine rest and relaxation, this is the perfect getaway. I highly recommend booking the sauna and plunge experience as well — it’s a fantastic addition and something truly special that takes your stay to the next level.
We’ll definitely be back!

Scenic spot with private access to Connellys Marsh Beach. Some sheltered spots to get out of the wind or open spaces for beautiful water views. Good pull off area in front of driveway gate for longer rigs. Definitely worth a stay.

This site was so lovely. There was a bit of rain in the few days before we arrived and Rachel had given us the heads up that the site was a bit muddy in places but that didn’t impact our stay. Site was clean and tidy, plenty of room to set up, dogs had a great time :)

We had a great time at Pine Ridge. Tim was an attentive, and thoughtful host. Open spaces, a cute dam with an island in the middle. A great hideout for young pirates to explore. Only 3 campers at one time so very private. Highly recommend.
