About this campsite

The James Earl Lookout is a fascinating stopover along the Mulligan Highway, situated south of Lakeland within a compelling mountainous landscape. While it is not a traditional camping area, it serves as an ideal place for a short stay, accommodating up to 3 to 4 rigs and several cars while offering free overnight stay, subject to arriving late and leaving early to avoid blocking the view for daytime visitors. Situated just a short drive south of Lakeland Downs, it is a perfect spot for a coffee break, lunch, or simply a breather to take in the stunning views of the Byestown Range. Whether you're on a road trip or seeking a brief escape from the city, the James Earl Lookout promises a refreshing experience. It's not just about the stopover, it's about the breathtaking views and the unique moments captured in this picturesque landscape.
