    Book now

    On the eastern shore of Tamboon Inlet, Peachtree Creek is the perfect spot to cast a line off the jetty or simply relax by the water’s edge.

    There is neither vehicle nor walking access to the coast, so boats are an excellent way to explore the area. There is a jetty and boat launching ramp right next to the campground.

    Peachtree campground features eleven individual sites which are for tents, camper trailers, campervans, caravans and RV's, and there are shared fireplaces throughout. There are non-flushing toilets however there is no onsite drinking water available.

    Make sure you bring your own firewood and drinking water – there is no drinking water available in the nearby settlement of Tamboon. Advanced bookings are required.

    In addition to Peachtree Creek, there are also remote campgrounds on Tamboon Inlet that are only accessible by boat, canoe or kayak. The Tamboon Inlet Remote Campsites operate on a first in, first served basis.
