Free Camping Longreach

Are you thinking about hitting the open road and heading to Longreach? You’ll be pleased to learn that there’s no need to spend a fortune on accommodation! There are a few great free camping sites where you can experience this beautiful part of Queensland without a big price tag. Here’s where you can find them.

Longreach Free Camping Spots

• Macsland Rest Area
• Packsaddle Creek Rest Area
• Morella Creek Rest Stop

While each of these camping spots is free to stay at, some are in remote areas and tent camping is prohibited. With this in mind, you’ll need to be in a reliable campervan to visit them. Check out our campervan hire rates in Brisbane for our latest offers, and hit the road knowing you’ll be safe, comfortable and able to stay at whichever appeals to you most.

Macsland Rest Area

Landsborough Highway, Longreach, QLD 4730

• Drop Toilets
• Rubbish Bins
• Picnic Tables

Set just off Landsborough Highway, Macsland Rest Area is just 20 minutes from Longreach and is a very convenient overnight stop with some good amenities on offer, including drop toilets and picnic tables. The only things to note here are that you’re limited to a maximum stay of 20 hours and, as it’s so close to the highway, it might be a bit noisy at certain times of the day.

Packsaddle Creek Rest Area

Landsborough Highway, Longreach, QLD 4730

• Drop Toilets

Another great free camping spot along the Landsborough Highway, Packsaddle Creek is a no-frill site with drop toilets but no other amenities. However, if you’re looking for an easy-access spot to pull up and rest your head before hitting the road again the following day, it’s a very good option. Note that it’s a little further away from Longreach (50 minutes) but only 20 minutes from the town of Barcadline.

Morella Creek Rest Stop

Landsborough Highway, Morella, Longreach, QLD 4730

• Toilets
• Picnic Tables
• Pet-Friendly

If you’re looking for a break after travelling a long stretch of the Landsborough Highway, Morella Creek Rest Stop – just 45 minutes from Longreach – will pull you slightly away from the road while giving you easy access to get back to your drive the following day. There isn’t a lot here in terms of amenities, with just toilets and picnic tables on offer, but this still means you’ll have everything you need to relax and unwind for an evening – just don’t outstay the maximum 20-hour stopover.
