Archer River Roadhouse
The Archer River Roadhouse is famous for its larger than life Archer Burger, which goes down a treat when teamed with their icy cold beers.
Located on the Peninsula Development Road in Archer River, this roadhouse sits on the banks of the crystal clear Archer River approximately 200km south of Weipa (2 hour drive).
The roadhouse has a range of accommodation options for all budgets – from lush green camping grounds, to shared units and 10 fully air-conditioned single bedrooms. The Archer River Roadhouse is the last stop before the turn-off towards the tip of Cape York.

General Comments
This was a lovely spacious camp ground that we stayed at on the way to Weipa and the way back too.
The crystal clear Archer River was only a small walk away, and was probably our favourite part. The kids had a ball cooling down there, but a word of warning: don’t try to drive through those waters if they’re flooded! Some poor old mate must have given it a crack because his furniture truck was on it’s side in the river.
We had an above ground fire, and caught an amazing sunset. The tasty burgers and chips were another favourite of this place, followed closely behind by the alcohol we were able to purchase.
