There are several places around American river where you can camp
but at the main camping ground you will find a nice shady camp site
set on the foreshore, there are toilets and hot timed showers here.
It’s a short walk to the wharf for some fishing or just across the
road is a community club that is open on weekends for a beer and
meals, with a play ground for the kids close by. There is also a
general store that is about 2 km's away, this store closes at 6.00
pm. Activities, fishing, swimming and walking trails. |

One of the best beaches on the island, this site is set across the
road from the beach with views overlooking the bay. There is a
playground for the kids, a sheltered barbeque area and toilets only.

This site is set back from the beach and also has access to the
Harriet River which is a great place to swim. There is a large

There are three caravan parks on the island, one is located at
Penneshaw but at this stage they do not offer on site accommodation
but they do have caravan and camping sites. There is another at

most things you would expect from a tourist park. The last one is
down the west end of the island, it is located near Flinders Chase
National Park and has a bush setting, they also have most things you
