Information

Free bush camp sites suitable for all types of campers and caravanners on a 1.5km ring road around the base of Garden Granite Rock 15km east of Cue accessible via good unsealed road. No facilities but plenty of firewood (but please make an effort to collect well away from the main area). Lovely views from top of rock and a few tracks to explore to other nearby rocky outcrops if you're feeling adventurous. No bins or toilets so please take everything out with you and keep this free camp pristine.Garden Rock is a large Granite outcrop with numerous divits on the surface that collect water. There is mining activity in the area so roads are in excellent condition.

We really enjoyed this free bush campsite and stayed 2 nights. Great at sunset and sunrise. Great stars. Rode our MTBs out to the breakaways (can drive) and of course walk up the rock and sit enjoying the views. Most people seem to have made camps at the base of the rock however you would get excellent sunset views of the rock if you camped further back on the northern side. There is a 1.5km loop drive around the rock with unlimited camping opportunities. Some wood if you make the effort to collect away from the rock. No bins, no toilets. Occasionally patchy mobile service (Telstra). Please leave no trace and keep this site pristine.
