About this campsite

Newman Rock is a camper's delight offering three diverse camping spots. Close to the road is an uncomplicated circular area, whilst a 500m dirt track leads to a tranquil, shady rest spot, complete with picnic table and fireplace. The ultimate spot, The Rock, offers serene views, waterholes, a lagoon, and even a bit of mobile phone signal at its highest point. Perfect for those wishing to disconnect and enjoy a bush camp experience with minimal facilities, but maximum nature. Walk, drive, or relax under the vast sky, Newman Rock caters to all preferred camping styles.

Newman Rock is a diverse camping sanctuary nestled in the heart of nature. Here, you have three unique areas to set up camp, each offering a distinct experience. Closer to the road lies a petite encampment suited for those who prefer easy access. Exploring half a kilometre down a scenic dirt track, you'll find a charming rest area enclosed by lush greenery, providing a rejuvenating and intimate camping experience. The amenities here include a picnic table, a fireplace, and bins for your convenience. Venture a little further - one kilometre from the road – and you'll stumble upon "The Rock," the crown jewel of Newman Rock. While rudimentary with only a bin and fireplace for facilities, the allure of “The Rock” lies in its breathtaking panorama. Peer out across the vast scrublands, catch glimpses of a serene lake in the distance, and marvel at the night sky in its full, star-spangled wonder. Incredible walking and driving trails lace the surrounding landscape, inviting you on thrilling expeditions into the wilderness. Pockets of mobile connectivity at the highest points ensure that you're never completely cut off. A stay at Newman Rock is an immersion into nature’s bountiful splendour and a memorable retreat away from the bustle of modernity. It promises solitude, adventure, and unforgettable experiences steeped in raw, natural beauty.
