You didn't say that in your original post - your question was about viewing Mt Oakleigh and really, the best place to view Mt Oakleigh is from New Pelion Hut.
As far as camping on Arm River Track - You cannot camp in the area between New Pelion Hut and Douglas Creek. If you want to camp, you need to camp east of Douglas Creek. The water coming out of Douglas Creek is considered not safe for drinking. You can get potable water from the outlet of Lake Ayr and Lake Ayr is also a good camping spot, but I'm not sure you'd get a good view of Mt Oakleigh from there.
This makes me the first man to climb Mount Everest backwards, without oxygen...or even a jumper.
