REST AREAS QUEENSLAND:
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.
FRC is still in the process of obtaining more information about this site.

I went past here today as we spent the day walking along the trails in Ravensbourne National Park. We stopped to have a look here on our way home, and saw it was a 24hr stay.
It seems most suitable to vans or caravans, and there was even someone with a campfire here. There would be enough space here to set up a camper trailer too.
It had spectacular views over Ravensbourne NP and the range.
Next time we’ll camp the night and go hiking for 2 days!
