About this campsite
The James Earl Lookout, located along the Mulligan Highway, is an ideal stopover spot for travelers. Although not a camping area, this small lookout supports 3-4 rigs and several cars for those wishing to spend the night. Most visitors enjoy this place for a short rest, coffee break, lunch, or simply to appreciate the stunning views of the Byestown Range. As a courtesy, overnighters are encouraged to arrive late and leave early due to its daytime popularity.
