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

This property is available again at a reduced capacity. Maximum of 3 units. Also dogs should be leashed. DO NOT BRING WOOD FROM OUTSIDE. MY TOLERANCE ON THIS ISSUE IS EXAUSTED.
Access height has been raised to 3.7meters. Pine Ridge has been developed over the years to be a natural park land with a good variety of local vegetation including stands of mature trees. lower scrub has been removed for physical and viewing access and to keep the property more secure and manageable. The vegetation also provides significant protection on windy days compared to many other open places. Native animals and birdlife abound the location. There is a community pergola area beside the substantial water hole which has a small jetty allowing easy access for swimming. There is also a stone barbecue and fire pit area available on suitable weather conditions.
There are ocean views from the property's main road areas, which also provide a large area of flatish firm ground with large areas providing easy maneuverability and turning.
The property is 2-3km from the main highway turn off that leads to the Douglas Apsley National Park. The corner of the property is only 50 meters from the park edge, with the Parks main access several km further along Rosedale Rd. The turn off is only 2 km from the town edge. It is sealed road except for the last 100meters and in good condition.
FIRES. Ok unless a fire ban. GOOD BAGS OF WOOD ON SITE FOR $20. NO OUTSIDE WOOD CAN BE BROUGHT ONTO THE PROPERTY AND BURNT. I HAVE TRIED TO MAKE A MIDDLE GROUND ON THIS ISSUE BUT UNFORTUNATELY SOME HAVE ABUSED THE FAIR RULES SO THIS IS NOW THE SITUATION.
NO FORAGING GROUND WOOD WITHOUT ASKING ME AND GETTING APPROVAL.

"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.

Grant was easy to deal with. The site was lovely, level, with lots of sunshine.

Woodlander is an idyllic camp. You have the whole place to yourself and the safety of a locked gate.
Rachel and Ben have done a brilliant job of creating the perfect camping area. From the Hobbit Hut to the ultra-safe warmth fire stove. Even in the wet there is enough rubble and gravel area to avoid most of the mud. The composting toilet is clean and mostly odour free and has a clever solution to keep the door closed despite timber expanding and contracting with the weather. Rachel and Ben were very friendly and helpful. Highly Recommended!

Very peaceful place to unwind. Lots of flat sites to choose from to camp. The kitchen hut had great view of the dam. Owner was friendly, checking in we had what we needed.

We loved our stay at Nigel's land on Bruny Island. Views of the bay were magical. Very peaceful and quiet. Could have a fire when weather allowed you. Plenty of room for a any size van. Easy access into property and Nigel was very welcoming.
Thank you Nigel for a great stay and made our 5 days just wonderful. Hope to see you again.

The lagoon was beautiful. Campsite was a bit crowded. Just an open field with 5 of us side by side. No fires unless in your own pit. No toilet or wood. I’d go back because the beach and lagoon were so special. The other campers were very polite everyone was in their rigs at sundown which meant it was quiet and peaceful. Very close to Bicheno (go to the lobster shack if you haven’t been!) and East Coast Natureworld (sanctuary where you can pet kangaroo, white wallaby, and watch a devil feeding).

Wonderful campsite, so beautiful and peaceful by the creek. Amenities were clean and Nell was a very accommodating host when we arrived late.
Would happily stay again and hope to sometime soon!
