Miles Rest Area – R.J. Simmonds Bridge (FC)

This is a large rest area on the western outskirts of Miles township. It is a large gravel area, with a lower section beside the river. It is beside the main highway so there is some traffic noise. Best suited to a rest or quick overnight stop.

There are some facilities at the site and it is withing walking distance to town.

Rest areas are there for you to rest, making your trip safer and more enjoyable.
Rest areas are not long-term camping sites. However, motorists are able to take extended rest breaks at some sites. Rules on the length of stay at rest areas vary between controlling authorities.

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. Those needing facilities for an extended stay are encouraged to look for camping areas or caravan parks in towns along the way.
