About this campsite

The McPhillips Creek Rest Area is a convenient and safe getaway, providing modern amenities like clean toilets and covered picnic benches. Although situated adjacent to a floodplain close to the highway, it also presents a break from the more complex terrains. Its substantial space can cater to large vehicles and trucks. Despite its minor setback of slight traffic noise and a weak 3G network signal, the rest area stands out as a reliable stop-over option during your journey.

If you're on the road and need a place to rest, consider McPhillips Creek Rest Area. This is a well-maintained rest stop equipped with modern amenities like clean toilets and sheltered picnic tables. The site can accommodate several large vehicles, making it an optimal stop for truck drivers as well. Set against the backdrop of a serene floodplain bordering McPhillips Creek, it's a safe and convenient retreat. However, keep in mind the vicinity to the highway does contribute to some traffic noise, and the 3G network coverage for both Optus and Telstra is fairly limited. Enjoy a peaceful break at our location and rejuvenate before heading onward with your journey.
