Dry River Rest Area is a free roadside campsite located along the highway near the Dry River in New South Wales' South Coast region. It offers basic facilities including drop toilets (no flush, no light), a hand-washing station, a bin, and a table and chairs.

The surface near the highway is gravel, though a quieter spot down by the dry river bed is accessible via a left turn off the main road.

The site sits close to the highway, which means some road noise, but the riverside area provides more seclusion and a more natural setting. Wildlife is active at night, with possums commonly spotted around the campsite.

It's a no-frills stop suited to travellers looking for a convenient overnight rest rather than a full camping experience.
