Greenpatch Reserve Gordonvale

Gordonvale, QLD

About this campsite

Greenpatch Reserve Gordonvale is a popular rest area with considerable turning room located just by the old Bruce Highway. It facilitates a picturesque journey to the town for supplies and morning walks. While it's a day rest area officially, overnight stays are often overlooked for visitors. However, camping on its lush grassy areas is discouraged as vehicles are not permitted beyond the site's barrier. This site would naturally ensure you beautiful mornings and peaceful nights.

Greenpatch Reserve Gordonvale is an optimal stopover, situated just off the historic Bruce Highway. The location offers ample space for navigation and turning. A short, easy stroll to the local town can provide you with necessary supplies and a dose of morning physical activity. Although the area is officially a day rest space, it appears that overnight stays are generally accepted. Please note that vehicles are not permitted on the grassy area behind the barrier, as camping on the grass may result in issues.
