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.

Camping near Sandy Bay guide

Overview

Sandy Bay is an upmarket suburb of Hobart, Tasmania’s capital city. It’s just south of the Central Business District and at the foot of Mount Nelson. The suburb is known for its high-end real estate and attractive beaches, which make for a good place to spend a warm day when in Hobart. Tent or caravan campers might want to stay at a holiday park on the outskirts of Hobart and visit the beaches of Sandy Bay—such as Long Beach, Nutgrove Beach, Red Chapel Beach, and Sandy Bay Beach—on day trips. Otherwise, hightail it out of town into Tasmania’s national parks for the best camping experience.

Where to go

Tasman National Park

On a peninsula southeast of central Hobart and Sandy Bay, Tasman National Park contains stunning 300-metre-high cliffs that collide with the waters of the Southern Ocean, creating interesting rock formations. Hike the multi-day Three Capes Track along Australia’s highest sea cliffs to experience the best of this park. There’s a campsite at Fortescue Bay, on the eastern coast of the park.

Bruny Island

This island is a 20-minute ferry ride from Kettering on the mainland, which is about 30 minutes’ drive from Sandy Bay and Hobart. Bruny Island is essentially two—North Bruny and South Bruny–connected by the narrow isthmus of The Neck. There are a few simple campsites on the island, especially around the South Bruny National Park, as well as a well-equipped holiday park. Bruny Island is renowned for its fresh local produce, and self-catering campers should grab some fresh oysters.

Mount Field National Park

About 1.5 hours’ drive north-west of Hobart, Mount Field National Park contains mountains, waterfalls, forests, alpine tarns, and options for tent and caravan camping. The park is part of the huge Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, and is one of the easiest places to access this area from Hobart.

When to go

As one of the main attractions of visiting Sandy Bay is to visit the beautiful beaches, go when the weather is warm and sunny so you can make the most of the sea. Broader Hobart is a good destination at any time of year, but particularly in the autumn (March-May), when the weather tends to be warm but the visitor numbers lower than in the summer.
