About this campsite

The Lyndon River West Rest Area is a spacious and comfortable spot perfect for overnight stays, with its level gravel surface that easily accommodates large rigs. Although uncovered by trees, it offers sheltered picnic tables for a relaxing outdoor dining experience. Please note that due to flooding in 2014, some of the amenities may have been affected but it still remains a prime location for a respite from the road.

Lyndon River West Rest Area is an expansive, open-space resting hub designed for convenience and comfort. This location offers a leveled gravel surface that can comfortably accommodate large rigs. The area is graced with several picnic tables, allowing visitors to enjoy outdoor meals, with some tables sheltered for added convenience. An update from May 2014, however, reads that the Lyndon River rest area experienced a flood which washed away the shade and seating options and could potentially affect the road accessibility.

Lake McLeod Rest Area

Yandoo Creek, WA

48.4km away

Lake McLeod Rest Area is an accessible open space perfect for overnight stays. With its level gravel layout, it offers hassle-free drive-through. However, it comes with sparse foliage that provides minimal shade. It's noteworthy for its abundant red dust - a unique charm. Although near a highway which can be a bit noisy, its proximity to free grazing cattle offers an experience close to nature. Night time travel is advised to be avoided for safety reasons.
