This is a 208-hectare conservation area located between Stanley and Rocky Cape National Park. It includes beachfront and coastal vegetation of the lovely Peggs Beach, from the Black River inlet to the Little Peggs Beach State Reserve. Camping is available at the Peggs Beach end or beside the estuary, and with 4WD boat-launching areas at both camping sites. This is a popular fishing location. This large campground is part of the beautiful Peggs Beach Conservation Area, so you must bring firewood and a firepot because campfires are not allowed. Tank water is available but should be boiled or treated for drinking. There are plenty of good camping spots, – secluded or open including sites that can accommodate large vehicles. Turn at the sign off the Bass Hwy, 8.5 km east of the Stanley turn-off, and head along a dirt track for 700 m. The cost for school groups is $2.50 per night, $10 for 7 nights.
