You will find plenty of sightseeing opportunities and interesting places to visit within easy reach of Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. Although much of the western end of Kangaroo Island was severely impacted by the January 2020 bushfires, the uniquely Australian story of rebirth and regeneration after fire is compelling.

You will find large areas of pristine natural bushland, numerous native wildlife, spectacular, rugged coastal cliffs and beautiful seascapes and beaches. Throughout the wilderness areas you will also discover old buildings and ruins which have been preserved because of their historical role in the development of the island. And if that is not enough to hold your interest, you can swim in the bay, fish from a sandy beach, dive some ship wrecks, surf some big waves, go sand boarding or go bush walking, Whatever your interest, you will find plenty of things to do on your next holiday at the Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary.

The park has a diverse range of wildlife including Platypus, Kangaroos, Koalas and Cape Barren Geese.

Welcome to Marron Bush Escape, located in Gosse, in the Western River area (western end, near Flinders Chase National Park) of beautiful Kangaroo Island! This is a beautiful, remote, rural 250 acre private property, it is home to a number of sheep, features dams that have Marron and boasts the best that nature has to offer. Rest assured, you will not see any neighbours on this property; just picturesque landscapes everywhere you look! It is approximately a 1.5 hour drive from Penneshaw, where you get off the ferry. We offer powered and unpowered camp sites, as well as a bush, cabin. Camp fires (small) are allowed when fire restrictions allow. There is a fire pit that can be used when there is no fire ban, with barbecue plate and camp ovens for old-style bush cooking or cooking up your fresh organic Kangaroo Island Marron. There is a drop toilet at the back and external lights and an external kitchen sink with hot and cold water. There is one drop dunny and limited rain water (you are welcome to bring your own drinking water if you need extra). For your convenience, there are recycling and rubbish bins at corner of Snug and Colman’s Rd for all waste disposal. On half of our property we have sheep and lambs in the paddocks. Bring your camera, and you just might be lucky enough to see little lambs playing and even being born. We may also be shearing and invite you to see how this is done. The other half of the property is untouched natural scrub with grass and trees 12 foot tall. There are koalas, eagles, kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas and lots of other native animals and a creek with small waterfalls. In winter time the ground can be boggy, so a 4WD is desirable and will allow you to explore further. From the cabin, make your way down past the dams and go through the shiny gate at the bottom of the hill (please close the gate behind you). Here, you'll discover 125 acres of untouched Kangaroo Island wilderness with walking trails to explore. Keep an eye out for koalas, kangaroos, wedge-tail eagles, wallabies, large grass trees etc We also have two small lakes that you can have a picnic by or drop some Marron nets in for a fresh feed. There are weighing scales provided at the shed so you can pay for them. This is on an honesty system- so please do the right thing, as we have already been burnt from the fires. You must contact me if you wish to fish for marron prior to catching any. There are no shops or restaurants close by (stock up before arriving!) and you will need to travel down dirt roads but you will really have the opportunity to get off the grid, get back to nature and make memories in the stunning, untouched, Kangaroo Island wilderness! Local attractions include: Kelly Hill Caves Flinders Chase National Park Stokes Bay Cape Borda Lighthouse Middle River Western River

Edenvale Pastorals was originally established as a solider settlers farm, and later was purchased by the Wilmott family in 2001 and converted to regenerative cell grazing cattle farm. The farm was leased for a few years, up until the recent 2019-2020 bush fires. Since the bush fires our family has decided to move back onto the farm and start the rebuild. We will be continuing with the sustainable farming practices and want to give people the opportunity to stay and enjoy the west end. No need to bring your own tent, stay with up to three people in a suspended tent! We can also provide bedding. Should you have a group larger than three, where some people can bring their own gear, we have space for them too. We have a hot outdoor shower, and compost toilet. Pets are also welcome, however must not be in the tent, and must not harass the wildlife. The suspended tent sleeps 3 people maximum. If you have any additional people who bring their own camping gear they are welcome to book our other listing 'Jump Off Road Camp (own gear).' The surrounding paddocks are home to our cattle that pass through occasionally, and during the afternoons you have the opportunity to observe the abundant wild life that come to life, as well as a healthy bird life among the trees. On your stay you have the choice of enjoying the walks and hikes through out the De'mole river and Cape Torrens that are at your door step, go sightseeing in the national park, the De Tong Ling Stupa, Billy Goat water falls or even Western River Cove or just relax and enjoy the serenity of your suspended tree tent experience.Either way, we hope you enjoy what the west end has to offer. Flinders Chase National Park is 40km via bitumen road or 27 km via Shackle road. Keep up to date with road closures through Flinders Chase national park website. Cape Borda Light house is 23km from our farm, there are several hikes in that area such as the Ravine Des Casoars and Harveys return. Keep tabs on their website as the park is closed, however still accessible by foot from the gate. De Tong Ling Stupa is 20km from our farm and is open to the public to visit. Billy Goat waterfalls generally has water flowing through mid winter, but regardless is a beautiful easy hike that comes alive with fungus and orchids early winter and during spring. Be mindful we are 45 minutes from the closest fuel station, at Parndana, and most places close early so it would be wise to be well prepared before getting here. 15km of the road is dirt, just take it easy if you're in a 2wd, and be aware of eagles, kangaroos and wallabies. Please get in touch if you have any questions. We look forward to having you!

Weekend Trip to Emu Bay Hideaway, Kangaroo Island
The property was nice and close to the local town, stunning views of the landscape, a lovely camp spot next to the creek (not running due to drought). Rosalie was a lovely host, very accommodating and welcoming. The campsite itself was set away in a private location so lots of space for the kids to explore, teeming with wildlife and some cheeky sheep, this is a perfect spot for experiencing KI in its natural state.

A wonderful experience. We have two young boys who LOVED catching Marron in the dams each night, and they had so much space to play. Gorgeous waking up with the sheep and wallabies each morning. Sean provided excellent communication to ensure we had a great stay.

Thank you Abbi and Matt for your hospitality! It was truly mind bending to receive such a warm welcome after a long day on the bike, and brought a huge smile to our faces. The campsite was beaitiful, peaceful and out of the wind (although the midges took full advantage of my slowness on the bushman’s!) Both of Ian and I were so aware that the effort you went to to make our stay enjoyable was not a requirement, but the an unfiltered act of kindness. It speaks volumes. Thankyou.

Really large site, very private and quiet and away from the wind. Site was littered with rubbish though, which i picked up as much as I could of so not sure if sites get regularly checked. Would stay again though, good location

We had a great stay at this Hipcamp! As soon as we arrived, we spotted an echidna which was a cool welcome. There were koalas in so many of the trees, possums running around at night, and even kangaroos hopping by. The campsite itself was really lovely, peaceful and well set up. It was a bit of a shame the river was dry, but that seems to be the case across most of SA right now. Still, it didn’t take away from the experience. Would definitely come back!

Super private and tranquil, we loved our stay at Amanda's property. She's a great host who met us upon check in. An ideal place to explore the western side of the island from.

Rosalie was a great host. Good directions and a friendly welcome. The site was perfect. Even though SA and Kangaroo Island is in drought, the site was picturesque and peaceful. Very quiet and at night very dark!! The campsite is on a working farm and the sheep loved to visit. The site is well located, only 20mins to Kingscote and many of the NE attractions.

We loved the seclusion that this camp site offered and the kangaroos who regularly passed through. The verandah and bathroom facilities are an added bonus. . Lovely to see the bush regenerating well after the fire. Convenient location for Vivonne Bay and Flinders Chase National Park.

I stayed in hbc1 site. It is nestled between the dunes and a grove of trees so protected from the wind. It is only small but big enough for my roof top tent / car combo and just enough space to turn around and get back out. It is primative as described but it was a great little spot to spend the night after my tour. The pit toilet is a fair distance (I'd drive) away but I had my own so it was not a problem.

The site was peaceful as. We came in march so very dry and no water in the river. But that didn't bother us as we'll definitely be coming back in winter when everything is green and the river is flowing. Very thankful to Matt and Abbi for letting us stay.

Loved camping here. So peaceful. Stayed 2 nights in march so very dry and no water in the creek. But we didn't mind. The weather was beautiful. Can't wait to come back in winter time when everything is green and there's water flowing again.

Loved the size of the site (number 7), the privacy, the shelter from the trees and the location. Site 7 was enormous - fit two caravans (with awnings out), two 4wd, four humans and four dogs with plenty of room to spare. Located away from the other sites so had the most privacy.

Camping in Flinders Chase National Park guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure at Flinders Chase National Park, a sanctuary of natural wonders and diverse wildlife. Traverse scenic trails, marvel at geological formations like the Remarkable Rocks, and witness the playful antics of fur seals at Admirals Arch. While the park offers limited camping options, its vast wilderness beckons explorers to immerse themselves in its untamed beauty.

Notable campgrounds

  • Harvey's Return Campground - A historic site offering a serene camping experience amid native wildlife.
  • West Bay Campground - Closed indefinitely due to flood damage, but once known for its remote beachside location.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book online in advance to secure your spot at one of the park's coveted campgrounds.
  • Plan your visit outside of peak seasons for better availability and a quieter experience.
  • Keep an eye on park updates for any changes in campground status or availability.
  • Explore nearby camping options for alternative accommodations in the event of full bookings.

When to go

Flinders Chase National Park is a year-round destination, with each season offering unique experiences. Winter brings flowing rivers and blooming orchids, while spring boasts abundant wildflowers and active wildlife. Summer is perfect for beach activities, though it's also the busiest time. Visit outside of school holidays for a more tranquil experience.

Know before you go

  • Check for any park closures or alerts before planning your visit.
  • Be prepared for limited amenities; bring sufficient water and food supplies.
  • Ensure you're familiar with the park's safety guidelines, especially when encountering wildlife.
  • Accessible facilities are available, but it's best to contact the park prior to your visit for specific needs.
  • Remember, pets are not permitted within the park to protect the native ecosystem.

Great visitors centre with helpful, friendly staff who helped us plan our visit. Ravine des Casoars walk was great and the beach and caves at the end spectacular. Admirals Arch and the Remarkables are not to be missed. Great to see the vegetation regenerating so well after the fires.
