About this campsite

The Wunara Store Rest Area on the Barkley Highway offers ample space for camping overnight, accommodating even large vehicles or rigs. While offering limited shade from sparse mulga bushes, its primary attraction is as a spacious and comfortable spot for travelers to rest and recuperate on their journey. This site's simple remote charm can provide a peaceful and refreshing pause during a long drive.

The Wunara Store Rest Area, discretely nestled on Barkley Highway, offers an ideal overnight halt for journeyers. Although the original store is no longer up and running, the site still provides an expansive space to set up camp and retire for the night. Please note that shade is minimal, primarily offered by scant, scrubby mulga bushes, nevertheless, there's ample room comfortably facilitating rigs of any size.
