There are several campgrounds in this area; Manuka, Peppermint, and Prickly Wattle campsites are all located in close proximity to Arthur River, and all offer secluded and shady sites, with most serviced by river water (water must be boiled) and pit toilets.

The fishing is excellent at Arthur River; Salmon from November to April and both Brown Trout and Rainbow Trout can be caught in freshwater in season.
