Protected and peaceful creek-side camping, directly across the road from the stunning ocean beach. Explore the rock pools, stroll the pristine beach or walk to the top of the property for incredible panoramic views across to the Tasman Peninsula. In summer, graze on fresh berries and orchard fruits. Excellent value and location for families and groups holidaying together.

The site was really spacious, beautifully grassed and set away from the other site and the owners home. We loved the berry patch and the quick walk to the beach. Kath and Alex respected our privacy but were also available for a chat to share info. We will definitely stay again!

Kath and Alex were the perfect hosts, welcoming and accommodating. The site was bliss! Better than the photos. Well maintained, quiet and private. The berry farm was an added treat. A real gem of Tasmania. We’d love to come.

We had a lovely stay at Kathryn and Alex’s place. Their berry farm is immaculate, a true credit to them both. The site we stayed at was so private and quiet. It was very generous, with a beautiful hand sawn picnic table and fire pit with seating. The visiting pademelons kept us entertained and the beautiful fresh water stream sent us off into a deep sleep each night.

From the moment we arrived at the Woodley property in Adventure Bay, we felt welcome. We were greeted by a beautiful, peaceful setting and two genuinely warm hosts — Alex and Kathyrn. The property is perfectly located just a short walk from the beach, yet feels wonderfully secluded, surrounded by native bushland.
Woodley is clearly a labour of love. The berry and fruit orchards are stunning and carefully maintained, with Kathyrn, Alex and their father Lee regularly working around the property. We loved that they generously shared some of the harvest with guests, which added a personal and memorable touch to our stay.
There are two excellent campsites, both very flat, well protected from the elements, and thoughtfully spaced so campers can enjoy privacy and quiet. Firewood is available to purchase, and the fireplace and table made evenings around the fire easy and comfortable.
Alex and Kathyrn were gracious and attentive hosts, offering local knowledge, stories, and a genuine sense of care without ever being intrusive. The campsite is close to everything — you can walk into Adventure Bay for a coffee, and it’s only a short drive to beaches, walks, and local attractions.
We spent a full week here with the family and couldn’t have been more comfortable. The peaceful atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and easy access to the beach made it an ideal place to slow down and reconnect with nature. We highly recommend Woodley to anyone travelling with a campervan or tent. Thank you,

We ended up here after we had to leave another camping area! And wish that we had come here first! It was everything we needed! Very peacefull and quiet! Rod was great pointing us in the right direction! It was a perfect base for Bruny! Next door was a lovely garden that we explored too! Our site had just been freshly mowed! On a creek, we were able to have a firepot which was great!
Would reccomend rods hipcamp to anyone who is headed to Bruny! Thanks rod!

A beautiful private spot, ringed by trees and a creek, opposite stunning Adventure Bay, and with a berry and fruit orchard to wander in, this lovely site is well worth the wait for the ferry to Bruny. One of the best hipcamps we have stayed in. Kathryn and Alex and the dogs were friendly and welcoming and Kathryn very kindly gave us some homemade berry jam. Highly recommend Watering Place at Woodleigh. Thanks again

Kath and Alex were amazing hosts, they have an amazing property right across from the beach and a 5mins drive to the local shops,
We had 3 families stay for 3 nights and not once did the kids get bored, from bike riding around the maintain tracks, to the swings and exploring l the surrounding bush they had a blast.
Fresh berries were absolute perk!
You are on their private property but you feel like a mile away, private site near a running stream makes some beautiful sounds of a night.
Fire pot to keep cosy and even some sighting
Of friendly native animals!
I have already recommended Kath and Alex to a few people and will be a return camper 😀

Woodleigh was just perfect! Nestled amongst the lush gardens by the little creek, a bountiful orchard of berries to enjoy at our leisure and the sounds of the waves crashing at the historical Two Tree Point beach - we felt as though we had landed in heaven. Kathryn and Alex were so warm and welcoming and even gave us a lovely jar of homemade jam to enjoy with instructions where to find the local sourdough bread stall. Adventure Bay was a wonderful base to explore South Bruny and we were able to see so many incredible sights whilst there for the 2 nights. We can highly recommend Woodleigh and hope to return again one day.

Kathryn and Alex’s property is even more beautiful and peaceful than the pictures convey. The spot was perfect for us, very quiet, plenty of birds annd wallabies about, a babbling brook, and across the road from the beach with easy enough access to get to town. Kathryn and Alex are very welcoming hosts and even helped us get our vehicle out of a bit of bother. Will be sharing and recommending this great find with family and friends.

We had the great pleasure of staying at Woodleigh for 2 nights. The spot was amazing . Beautiful grassed area next to a stream . Waves crashing just over the road. Lovely camp fire and beautiful gardens. Great place for our dog to roam and very close to the most beautiful beach. Only 2 campsites here so very private. Host was wonderful and welcomed us with her home made Berry jam and brought over firewood . This is a must stay. Don't miss it.

We had a lovely stay at Kath & Alex’s place which was set in a stunning location moments from the beach. The camp site was extremely well maintained on their homestead & they were both super friendly. Would also recommend trying Kath’s blackberry jam which was top notch👌🏻 Definitely the best campsite we’ve been too!

What genuinely lovely people sharing a part of their home. The ground is flat and a small creak runs past. 5 minute walk to the beach.
A beautiful tranquil stay.

The best private sites caravan parks near Hobart guide
Where to go
Tasman Peninsula
Cliffs, beaches, and sandy bays carve out the Tasman Peninsula landscape, just an hour’s drive southeast of Hobart. This is the place to escape city life—simple unpowered sites let you get even closer to bushwalking trails and remote beaches, and it’s even possible to camp right by the Port Arthur Historic Site, one of Tasmania’s top spots.
Wellington to Mount Field National Park
Looming on the horizon to the west, the mist-capped peak of Mount Wellington stands watch over Hobart and provides terrain for hikers, mountain bikers, and campers, just minutes from the CBD. A further 2-hour drive brings you to the mountains and waterfalls of Mount Field National Park, where riverfront camping areas offer access to hiking trails and fishing spots, and self-sufficient campers can escape to secluded bush campsites.
South Coast and Bruny Island
Coastal walks wind around the waterfront south of Hobart, where road-trippers can stop off at seafront towns such as Dover and Southport. Ferries to Bruny Island leave from Kettering, where you can spot seabirds as you cruise the coast, tuck into fresh-from-the-ocean oysters, and pitch a tent by remote beaches and bushlands.
When to go
The most popular time for camping and outdoor activities around Hobart is summer (December through February), when camping grounds book up quickly. Spring and autumn are also ideal for camping—head to the national parks around Hobart to hike against a backdrop of spring wildflowers or witness the ‘Turning of the Fagus’ (Tasmania’s fall foliage). Touring by caravan or campervan is preferable in winter (June through August), when rainy days and chilly nights are common.
Know before you go
- Tassie weather is notoriously changeable, so pack for all anything, even in summer.
- A National Parks pass is required to visit, hike, or camp within Tasmania’s national parks.
- Fire bans are common in Tasmania during summer and dry periods, so be sure to check local recommendations before lighting your campfire.
- Possums and Tasmanian devils are common around Hobart—always secure your food and anything else that might attract wildlife.
- Having your own car is a big plus around Hobart, as public transport is limited to the national parks and beaches.
