Granite Creek Rest Area (FC)

Also known as the Bernie Christensen Rest Area, this is a medium sized site.  Access is wide and from the Southbound lane.  Once in the site, the road forms a large loop around a grassed area with some beautiful shade trees.  You cannot camp inside the grassed areas, but there is room around the edges and several shady spots.  It is suitable for rigs of all sizes.

The site also doubles up as a Driver Reviver station at certain times of the year.  It is close to the highway so there is some highway noise.  Granite creek runs beside the site.

Whilst this area is technically a Rest Area, the Department of Transport has permitted the use of this particular Rest Area for 48 Hours. Time limits apply and are stipulated in our features below, but there are also signs available on site to indicate this.

GENERAL INFORMATION

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.
