    About

    ​​South Bruny National Park is a popular location for campers, with sites providing easy access to swimming and water recreation, beautiful coastal walks, fishing and beach exploration.

    ​​​​Cloudy Bay campsites​

    There are two separate sites at Cloudy Bay. The Pines on Cloudy Bay Road is a small site, perfectly located for surfers drawn to the waves and walkers keen to explore the area. 

    At the far end of Cloudy Bay, the Cloudy Corner site is larger, but only accessible to 4WD vehicles and requires a 3 km drive along the beach at low tide. You can launch boats from the beach here. Please note that the beach is for boat launch and retrieval only, vehicles are not to be parked on the beach. 

    Jetty Beach campsite

    Jetty Beach is a great site for families, set among the trees and facing a gently curving sandy beach which offers safe, sheltered swimming, along with snorkelling, kayaking and fishing. 

    The Neck c​ampsite

    Outside the national park boundaries, camping is available in the stunning surroundings of The Neck Reserve. This is a sheltered area behind sand dunes at the south of the isthmus, and provides easy access to the beach. ​

    Bruny Island lies just off the south-east coast of Tasmania, and a short journey by vehicle and passenger ferry from Kettering is required to access the island. Kettering is about 40 minutes from Hobart via Kingston on A6 and then B68.

    The ferry departs regularly throughout the day, and there is currently no requirement to book in advance, but you should allow plenty of additional time during peak periods such as Easter. The 15-minute ferry ride lands on Bruny Island at Roberts Point. From there, travel by road (sealed and unsealed) to the southern part of the island.​​

    Further ferry information can be found by visiting​ Sealink Bruny Island​.​​

    Cloudy Bay is a 50 minute drive south of the ferry terminal on Bruny Island. Take Lennon Rd (B66) and continue on this road as it becomes Bruny Island Main Road. Continue through Alonnah and when you reach the T-junction in Lunawanna take a left onto Cloudy Bay Road. The Pines campground is a small site on the left, about 500 metres before the road ends at Cloudy Bay Beach. The second campsite in this area is Cloudy Corner campground. This is accessed via the beach (4WD only), about 3 km from the end of Cloudy Bay Road. 

    Jetty Beach camping area is just over an hour south of the ferry terminal. Follow the Bruny Island Main Road south through Alonnah, and when you reach the T-junction in Lunawanna take a right onto the C629. 17 km further on, take another right into Jetty Road. 

    To reach Bruny Island Neck Game Reserve, follow the main road from the ferry terminal towards South Bruny, and turn left into the signposted camping area which is around 3 km past the lookout at The Neck. ​

    Where possible, please avoid driving in our reserves at night. You are sharing the roads with our native wildlife, so take it slow and watch out for animals on the road.

    ​Campgrounds have no rubbish collection so please take your rubbish with you.

    The Bruny Island Neck Game Reserve campground is located outside the boundaries of the South Bruny National Park, so while there are still camping fees, park fees do not apply.

    All sites have pit toilets. Cloudy Corner, Jetty Beach and The Neck have non-treated tank water (seasonal only). ​
