About this campsite

Prungle Mail Rest Area is an expansive, drive-through location, conveniently positioned 15km west of Balranald on the Sturt Highway. Providing tracks that lead into local vegetation for private camping spots, this area is also notable as the border of a fruit quarantine zone when journeying westward. Despite its satisfactory use by truck drivers, please be aware that mobile signal strength is considerably weak in this locale.

This spot is also the border of the fruit quarantine area when travelling westward, so there is a fruit bin here. It is also used by trucks. Mobile signal is very poor.
