Campaspe River Rest Area (FC)

Campaspe River Rest Area is the perfect place to stop and take a break. It’s located right off the highway, so it’s easy to find. There are toilets, picnic tables, and even some shade from tall trees if you want to sit down for a bit. The area is large enough that there will be plenty of room for everyone who wants to stop here. You won’t have any trouble finding this spot!  Dogs are allowed, but please be responsible.

Whilst this area is technically a Rest Area, the Department of Transport has permitted the use of this particular Rest Area for Overnight Stays. Time limits do apply and are stipulated in our features below, but there should also be signs available on-site to indicate this.

Rules on the length of stay are capped at 20 hours only.

Caravans and motorhomes are not considered heavy vehicles, and should not stop at heavy vehicle locations.

Please note: Rest areas are not designed to be camping grounds or caravan parks. Using rest areas for multiple overnight stays as part of a planned itinerary is not in keeping with their intended purpose, unless clearly indicated. Those needing facilities for an extended stay are encouraged to look for camping areas or caravan parks in towns along the way.
