Miriam Vale Star Roadhouse & Caravan Park: A Welcoming Bruce Highway Stopover
The caravan park itself provides level, grassy sites suitable for a range of setups, from large motorhomes to campervans. Both powered and unpowered options are available, catering to different budgets and needs. The key appeal lies in its practicality; after a long day of driving, you can enjoy a hot meal from the roadhouse, take a hot shower, and get a good night’s sleep. The park is proudly pet-friendly, making it a vital stop for those travelling with their four-legged companions. While it may not be a destination in itself, it serves as an excellent base for a brief exploration of the historic town of Miriam Vale, known as the ‘Gateway to the Discovery Coast’. From here, you’re just a short drive from the turn-offs to the picturesque coastal towns of Agnes Water and 1770, making it an ideal final stop to stock up and rest before heading to the coast.
