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.

The site on arrival was unusable. The ground was frozen solid, and this is obviously seasonable but shows the properly gets little sunlight. There is also no privacy, it directly faces the main highway. Due to this, we weren’t physically able to stay on the property (our car was cracking the frozen ground and impossible to start a fire) we booked another location 5 mins away. Requested a refund and never heard back.

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....

Good location to visit all the attractions of Bruny Island. Access was tricky with our larger caravans ,it would be good for the gate entry to be bigger and better signage. Right next to the Bread fridge. If you need more wood, unfortunately we forgot our chainsaw, plenty available from the Brunt pub, where we had to have a beer.

Nice little campsite right next to the famous Bruny Bread Fridge! Huge open field with plenty of room for tents or vans. We were hammock camping and there were a few tree options to hang from. We ended up being the only ones there, so had heaps of space!

Camping in 19 foot caravan⛺️

Sheepwash Rd Camping Ground
Fabulous spot for a camp, we had the whole place to ourselves. The green grass was beautiful and lush for our baby to play on. Plenty of wildlife action at night. Oh and may I add perfect place to get your fresh warm bread from The Bruny Bakers corner. 😍 Would definitely stay again! We took our 19 foot caravan in and no problems getting in and out using the spot opposite the gate. We drove up past the gate backed into the spot and drove in, and to leave we reversed out the gate into the spot and then drove out easily. Plenty of space to choose from. Thanks Again!

Well, staying in a paddock near the major north south road on Bruny Island isn’t pleasant. Also the gate access requires good reversing skills. Not good for large rigs. Plenty of other cheaper options on Bruny Island.

Lots of space, & beautiful big gums providing shelter & shade, not far out of Alonnah (or anywhere on Bruny really), the area down near the trees has been churned up a bit, we suspect others have had a little trouble getting out after rain? We managed to find a reasonably level possie for our Troopy though, tucked in at the back with the trees between us & the road. The Famous Bread Fridge is just a short walk from camp too!

Lovely campground. So much space and the bonus of the bread fridge out front makes this spot a winner! The entry is a little tight with a van but there is a spot to turn/back your van in to to get onto the property so it makes that much easier. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location, beautiful large trees and places to tuck away out of the strong westerly wind. Appreciate the owner not having too many groups at once so it's quite private. Loved being close to the Bruny Bread Fridge for warm sourdough bread at 9am. Close enough to Alonnah to go for a beach walk each evening - 5 mins drive at most.

Great central location to explore the island. A highlight was the proximity to Bruny Baker, as well as the abundant wildlife. We stayed in our camper trailer and utilised the public toilets only a few minutes away.
