About this campsite

Yilkari Rest Area is a spacious stopover on Anzac Drive, perfect for large vehicles, and offers both sunlit and shaded areas for relaxation. A number of tracks crisscross the area, cross-stitching into the scrub for those looking to explore. Beware of parking spots since it is frequented by trucks and be mindful of not blocking potential access roads. Equipped with ample waste disposal bins and notable mobile signal strength, you can expect a comfortable, accessible retreat, albeit physically amenity-free. Environment and location give rise to ambient traffic noise.

There are bins, but no other facilities. Good mobile phone signal. Traffic noise. Be careful where you park as it is also used by trucks. There some tracks leading off the rest area that may be access roads for other properties, so it is good not to block these
