About this campsite

Stoney Creek Rest Area is a tranquil highway-side respite, ideally suited for large rigs. Offering a level gravel surface for stability, the site also provides a sheltered picnic table, fireplaces, and waste bins for travellers' convenience. However, the area lacks mobile phone signal. Amidst the towering forests and sweeping valleys, Oxley Highway promises scenic vistas, though caution is advised due to its sharp turns and steep ascents.

Welcome to the Stoney Creek Rest Area, a serene, commuter-friendly haven nestled just off the highway. Harnessing simplicity, it presents a drive-through configuration that caters to large rigs, while the lack of amenities adds to its charm. The tranquil rest area stands on an almost level gravel surface, providing access to a sheltered picnic table, fireplaces, and disposal bins, all thoughtfully installed for your convenience. Unfortunately, there is no mobile phone signal here, but the embellishment of nature will surely keep you engaged. Beyond the rest area, you'll discover the majestic beauty of tall forest, which dramatically slopes into the valley below. The picturesque backdrop provides a calming allure, keeping you in touch with nature. The rest area also serves as a gateway to the extraordinary vistas provided by the Oxley Highway. As it meanders across the Great Dividing Range, the road reveals unparalleled scenery, creating an unforgettable journey. We advise caution when towing a caravan, given the highway's sharp turns and steep inclines. Join us at Stoney Creek Rest Area; it's more than just a stop-over, it's a unique encounter with Mother Nature in a quaint setting, offering a memorable chapter in your journey.
