Baddaginnie Creek rest area is a section of old road about 100 metres long, joined to the Hume Highway by a 180 metre long off-ramp and a 180 metre long on-ramp. There is a 7 metre wide 'through lane', with a 4 metre wide sealed parking strip to the left (which appears to be a former 'breakdown lane'), and a 5 metre wide sealed parking strip to the right.
The area has room for about a dozen cars and car-caravan combinations on each side. There are also areas suitable for tents, the best would be to the right.
There is a small toilet block, two picnic tables, and rubbish bins. Trucks seem to avoid this rest area, and as early as 4:20 PM a family was starting to set up camp among the trees.
Number of tent spaces: Four or more
Access to Campsite: By Car
Special Features:
Not as busy as the other larger rest areas to the north and south, should be a bit quieter at night.
