Sundown Point State Reserve - Nelson Bay

Nelson Bay campsite at Sundown Point sits on the rugged west coast of Tasmania, roughly 11 kilometres south of the Arthur River ranger station via the C214 Road, within the Arthur-Pieman Conservation Area in the Tarkine.

The campground faces west across the Southern Ocean and is set near Sundown Creek at the southern end of Arthur Beach. The site accommodates tents, camper trailers, motorhomes, caravans, and larger rigs, though there are no facilities on-site.

Campers must be fully self-sufficient, pack out all rubbish, and follow Leave No Trace principles. Camping fees apply within the Arthur-Pieman Conservation Area; permits can be obtained through the Parks office at Arthur River.

Those intending to drive on designated recreational vehicle tracks also require an Arthur-Pieman Recreational Driver Pass.
