Prickly Wattle Campground

Prickly Wattle Campground is a basic bush camping area situated approximately one kilometre south of Arthur River on Temma Road (C214), within the Arthur-Pieman Conservation Area on Tasmania's wild west coast.

The site sits amid native vegetation on the coastal side of the road and has four entry points, with entries 2 and 3 being the most caravan-friendly. A boat ramp is also accessible from the campground.

Unlike most bush campgrounds in the Arthur-Pieman Conservation Area, Prickly Wattle is equipped with long-drop toilets, making it a practical base for campers heading further south, where fully self-contained setups are required.

Visitors should bring sufficient drinking water, as no treated water is available in the conservation area and any local water must be boiled for at least three minutes or otherwise treated before drinking. No bookings are required.
