Stockyard Creek Rest Area
About this campsite
The Stockyard Creek Rest Area is a cozy stop-off point located on the westbound side of the Oxley Highway. This spot is conveniently designed to accommodate caravans, though larger rigs may require a bit of maneuvering for optimal positioning. With accessible amenities like toilets, picnic tables, fireplaces, and bins, it provides basic comforts for a pleasant break. The area sports both sealed and gravel parking spaces, with a bit of sloping terrain. However, level surfaces aren't too hard to find. There are grassy settings available for those looking to pitch tents. Situated in a region with challenging terrains due to steep inclines and sharp bends, the Oxley Highway demands some extra time for safe transit, especially for large caravans. Unfortunately, this place doesn't have a mobile phone signal, which deems it a perfect spot for a digital detox. Step into the inviting ambience of the Stockyard Creek Rest Area and revel in the calming aura of nature.
