Prickly Wattle

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

The campground offers numerous sheltered sites with multiple entry points along the coast side of the road, and is one of the few bush campgrounds in the area to have long-drop toilet facilities. A boat ramp is also accessible from the site.

Campers must be largely self-sufficient, and water should be carried in or treated before drinking, as no guaranteed or treated water supply is available. Dogs are permitted.

The surrounding Arthur River area is well regarded for both saltwater and freshwater fishing, and the Arthur River Cruise offers a chance to spot wildlife including the White-breasted Sea Eagle.
