Crawford Creek Rest Area

Corfield, QLD

About this campsite

Nestled next to the Landsborough Highway, Crawford Creek Rest Area is a tranquil stopover spot, surrounded by an expansive, flat plain with sparse trees. The location gains its charm from its proximity to the Western River. The labyrinth of channels created by the river are a stunning sight particularly during the wet season, when the channels fill up, flooding the area and transforming it into an enormous inland sea, aptly named Channel Country. Crawford Creek Rest Area provides ample parking space paved with solid materials for a comfortable stop. Whether you're travelling by car, a bike or a large vehicle, finding parking space won't be an issue here, thanks to the large, levelled area covered in pavement and gravel. It's an ideal location to pause, take in the natural beauty, and refresh during your journey. Delight in the serene tranquility and unique landscapes offered by the Channel Country at Crawford Creek Rest Area.
