Camp in a beautiful paddock, 1.6km from Alonnah, on South Bruny Island. We offer several camping sites, on grassy, level land, ideal for self-sufficient campers looking for a convenient base to explore Bruny Island. The camping area is bordered by a striking eucalyptus forest, with plenty of space and an abundance of natural wildlife. You will be visited by wallabys, water hens and a myriad of other birds during your stay. Local attractions: There are many beautiful walks nearby, and plenty of local attractions. Take a tour to Cape Bruny Lighthouse; Try a Pennicott boat discovery tour; Sample the chocolates from the Bruny Island Chocolate Co, or enjoy a meal at the Bruny Island Cheesery or Bruny Island Hotel. Book in ahead of time so not to be disappointed. What to bring: Many travellers bring their own supplies with them. Top up groceries can be purchased at the Adventure Bay General Store (20 minutes - 15km) or the Alonnah General Store (5 minutes - 1.6km). Fresh sourdough bread is available for purchase, at the roadside fridge on the corner of Sheepwash Road. Amenities: You do need to be self-sufficient here, with your own toilet, and we ask you take all waste with you when you leave. Public Toilets can also be found close by at 8 Pontoon Rd, Alonnah TAS 7150. Pets: You are welcome to bring pets that are kept under control as there is an abundance of local wildlife and roads adjacent to the campsites.Camp in peace and quiet, on South Bruny Island. We offer several camping sites, on grassy, level land, and are an excellent option for those self sufficient campers looking for a convenient base to explore Bruny Island.  The property is just metres away from freshly baked sourdough bread, baked daily and sold from the fridge on the corner of the Sheepwash Road turnoff and only 2km down the road from the Bruny Island Hotel which is a great place to catch a meal. Visit the Bruny Hotel, Bruny Island Cheese Factory, Bruny Island Chocolate Co. and Get Shucked Oysters. All good places to stop.

Karen’s property is beautiful. It looks down on the famous Bread frigs and we were amazed at how many people stopped for bread and/or photos! You must be self contained to stay here and fires are allowed. Karen was easy to communicate with and we’ll happily return when next on Bruny.

Nice little spot but finding a really nice level spot was a bit challenging. Lots of grassy areas and also lots of buzzys still picking them off the gear. Nice and peaceful.

A beautiful, peaceful and luscious green site with plenty of spots to choose from. We enjoyed our time at Sheepwash Road Campgrounds. Our host, Karen, provided many helpful suggestions of places to visit whilst enjoying our stay on Bruny Island. Remember to bring along mozzie repellent. Have no hesitation in recommending this camp spot as it’s a little peace of paradise.

Camping here was an absolute dream!! Amazing open grassy paddock with loads of setup options to choose from, super quiet at night and a hop skip and a jump to the famous bread fridge. That's probably the only negative......we spent a lot of dough on dough....

We had a great stay at Sheepwash Road, it was easy to access with our car and tent, and is a great base to get around Bruny Island. The hosts were wonderful, very friendly and easy to communicate with. Would recommend a stay here!
