Bush Marron Escape

Welcome to Marron Bush Camp & Catmans Hilltop Cabin located in Gosse, in the Western River area (western end, near Flinders Chase National Park) of beautiful Kangaroo Island! The campground includes 1 cabin and 6 camp sites. This is a beautiful, remote, rural, 250 acre private property (sheep farm), 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 and you will need to travel down dirt roads. 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!

You can bring supplies from the mainland, alternatively you can purchase supplies on KI, in the following locations: Penneshaw (where the ferry is) – IGA Kingscote- the main town – Foodland American River- small fishing area- limited supplies Parndarna- a small town on the way to the Western River area- limited supplies.
