We're planning a round Oz tour and looking at camping options. Do you think it's safe to stop at roadside reststops during the night?

Are you familiar with Wolf Creek?
Hell no!! Well if you can possibly avoid it (plan to go at a popular petrol station or something) – then avoid it!! Only if desperate!
yep it is fine
but don’t try to camp at them for too long or you will be moved on
i have never had a problem with sleeping overnight at rest stops except for trucks stopping & starting they make a bit of noise at times
If you’re in the outback you can pretty much pull off the road for 100 metres or so (as long as you have a 4wd) and have a rest there. If you are feeling uncomfortable just lock your doors, but it’s pretty safe.
Otherwise, it’s fine to use the reststops. But as another poster said – the trucks can be a bit annoying which is why some people just pull off the road and have a rest.
