Spuds Roadhouse – Our Experience

Drone view of the campgrounds

It was a welcome relief to finally get here, after driving 370 Km from our last place Blyth Showgrounds.

The campground looked well kept, but due to heavy usage, the facilities were getting a bit tired, they were clean and usable.

Our Thoughts

The campground next to Spuds Roadhouse is not actually run by them, it is managed by the Outback Communities Authority. Having a look at their website for details about his campground did not reveal any information.

There are no bookings, so first come first serve. Take note that this place can fill up fast in the afternoon during peak travel season. You would want to get here by 2pm. We got here at 3pm, and managed to get one of the last spots available.

At the roadhouse you can get a beer, meal, and a few supplies. Bear in mind it will be outback prices, and the selection is not the best.

Petrol / Diesel is available, at slightly inflated prices, we paid $2.28/ L for petrol, Diesel will be similar.

Some Pics

As you can see there is a lot of puddles everywhere, there was some rain the previous day, so some campsites were just mud and hence unusable.

All in all, it was a good campground with all the usual facilities, it felt safe, the ground was reasonably level, we would definitely stay here again when passing through.
