Peppermint Campground

Listing Details

This campsite is signposted along the Arthur River Road near the Ranger's Station. It offers limited access for campervans, motorhomes, and caravans, but rather is perfectly suited to tent camping. Also in this area is the Prickly Wattle Campsite that is located just out of the Arthur River community. It features excellent secluded sites, with most serviced by river water (water must be boiled) and pit toilets. Fire drums are provided, however, wood should be used sparingly and any fire restrictions are often in place during warmer summer months. Things to do at Arthur River include Sailboarding, surfing, snorkelling, canoeing, 4wd trips, fishing; saltwater and freshwater (trout fishing), beachcombing, river cruises, rainforest walks. Or just relax and see native Tasmanian wildlife including Tasmanian Devils, wallabies, wombats, sea eagles, native birds. You can also visit the Tarkine wilderness, explore the remote coastline in the path of the roaring 40s, take an ecotour from Arthur River or take a trip into the nearby forest on a 4wd expedition. A cruise on the Arthur River is a must when staying in this area. The Arthur River flows through tall eucalypt forests and rainforests out to the sea. This campground in Arthur River has a barbeque, sites are on the small side but large rigs can find a camping spot at the neighbouring campgrounds of Manuka or Prickly Wattle. You must carry your own drinking water, or boil the water supplied before drinking. You can use collected driftwood for campfires. There is a ranger station at this location, and the Arthur River store where you can buy petrol, food and grab a coffee is immediately opposite the Peppermint Campground Arthur River. Dogs are OK but must be kept fully under control at all times. Arthur River is the name of both a river and a small township on the northern part of the West Coast of Tasmania, Australia. At the 2006 census, Arthur River and the surrounding area had a permanent population of just 121 people. The fishing is very good at Arthur River - Salmon from November to April and Trout in season. Mostly firm sand allows most vehicles to drive onto the beach to launch a boat or fish off the beach. Off shore islands interrupt the breaking waves, while rock pools are common and interesting.

    A private property owner holds the land leading to the river and most views behind the campground, while they are kind and supportive of campers, they have protective dogs ( fenced in) they will not tolerate dogs off lead or people entering their property, leaving fires burning or noise past reasonable hours. Their place is a registered wildlife release/ safe place so any activity that could harm wildlife (noise, speeding, dogs off lead, fire crackers) will be aggressively reported. They will help you if you have a genuine problem but you need to respect the location and the property fences- don’t connect or use their fence for tent( guy) ropes, don’t let children “climb” the fences, be careful if camping under the peppermint gums ( which hang over into the campground) as they will fall in high winds, don’t “bark” back to the dogs, try not to slam car doors and facility doors. Be respectful to that property owner and you may be lucky enough to have an amazing connection and talk. Particularly if you love wombats.
