Home Hill Comfort Stop

Home Hill Comfort Stop is a free short term campsite located in the town of Home Hill on the western side of the Bruce Highway in the Burdekin Region of Northern Queensland.

Motor homes, caravans and campervans are allowed to stop for 48 hours in Railway Avenue at the rear of the comfort stop right in the centre of town. The area is provided as a service to travelers by the local community and all they ask is that you buy your supplies in Home Hill if possible and explore Home Hill and its district.

Home Hill Comfort Stop has great facilities and no bookings are required to stay its first in – first choice of site. Please park carefully and thoughtfully – don’t waste the available space. In the Winter tourist season, Railway Avenue is a popular stop for a lot of people. It is suitable for most caravans and motor homes and there is a “no tent” rule. There is a dump point not far from the parking area and a coin operated laundry nearby too.

Directions to tourist parking, Railway Avenue and the RV dump station are given by several signs as you enter Home Hill. From the north, turn west off the Bruce Highway onto Eight Avenue, go past the service lane then turn left onto Railway Avenue. From the south, turn west off the Bruce Highway onto Sixth Street, go past the service lane then turn right onto Railway Avenue.

Footnotes – Disposal of grey, black or chemical water – not into the toilets, please. A dumping point has been built for water just across the rail.

No powered sites. If you require power, we have two van parks in town, two out of town (Groper Creek, Inkerman Hill), and more parks in Ayr 10km away. Please do not run cables from the power outlets at the Comfort Stop to your van. They create a hazard to others.

Suggestion – bring some pieces of wood of varying thicknesses to place under your van wheels – the street has a camber. A small request – don’t park on the footpath – that creates an obstacle to mowing and causes ruts.
Remember – This is a public street. Please make sure your property is secure before leaving your site. (source: www.homehillchamber.com)
