About this campsite
Reid River Rest Area, nestled on the western side of the Flinders Highway, is an expansive respite spot offering limited shade under a few trees. The rest area boasts good facilities and a position over a slight hill, offering a welcoming escape from highway noise. Despite its name, Reid River is typically dry, making it a serene place for relaxation and refreshment during travel rather than a fishing spot. Recently refurbished, the rest area offers improved comfort for visitors.
