Nomadic camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
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 • Hobart CBD: 30 mins (outside peak traffic hours)

Gum Tree Flats (10amp Electricity)

RV/tent site · Sleeps 12 · Vehicles under 11 m
This site is bordered by towering gums, directly across from a children's outdoor play area. Campfires in the firepit permitted when restrictions aren't in place - you can buy a load of wood from us in advance. The Tangara Trail, which consists of 250k of recreational trails and coastal tracks, is right on the doorstep. A short, flat walk will get you to peaceful Mortimer Bay in 5-10 minutes, while the same amount of time in a car will deliver you to some classic Tassie surf beaches. This site is dog friendly for friendly dogs, as we live on site and have our own canines here as well. Strictly no parties or amplified music, with noise to a minimum by 9pm.
