About Camooweal Roadhouse

Camooweal Roadhouse is a family-owned fuel stop, motel, and caravan park located on the Barkly Highway in Camooweal, Queensland, close to the Northern Territory border. It caters primarily to long-distance travellers, truck drivers, and holidaymakers crossing between Queensland and the NT. The roadhouse offers unleaded and diesel fuel, basic groceries and travel supplies, motel-style rooms, powered and unpowered caravan and camping sites, and a licensed restaurant and bar serving meals throughout the day. As a small regional business, most payments are processed on-site via EFTPOS terminals or at the fuel pumps.

A charge from Camooweal Roadhouse usually appears on your bank or card statement when you buy fuel, a meal, groceries, or pay for accommodation or a caravan site while passing through. You may see a one-time charge for fuel or food, a larger bill combining fuel, meals, and a room for the night, or multiple smaller charges if your group paid separately. Some banks show an initial “pending” or pre-authorisation amount when you pay at the pump or when a card is held as security for a motel room, which can differ from the final settled amount. These pending amounts normally drop off once the actual transaction is processed.

If you don’t recognise a Camooweal Roadhouse charge, start by thinking back to any recent road trips on the Barkly Highway, including fuel stops, motel stays, or meals on the Queensland/NT border route. Check your travel receipts, booking confirmations, and any SMS or email bank alerts from the date of the charge. To clarify a transaction, you can contact the roadhouse directly using the phone or email details listed on camoowealroadhouse.net.au and provide the date, amount, and last four digits of your card so they can look up the receipt. If you still believe a payment is incorrect or fraudulent, contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the charge or request a chargeback after you’ve attempted to resolve it with the merchant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a Camooweal Roadhouse charge on my statement when I only remember buying fuel?

Camooweal Roadhouse often processes purchases at a single counter, so fuel, snacks, drinks, and small grocery items can be combined into one transaction. Even if you only recall filling up, you may also have added items such as drinks or food that were included on the same receipt. The payment will still show as one Camooweal Roadhouse charge for the total amount.

What are typical amounts for Camooweal Roadhouse charges?

Common transaction amounts range from small spends (around AUD $10–$40) for drinks, groceries, or a quick meal, to larger totals (AUD $80–$250 or more) when fuel and accommodation or multiple meals are combined. Caravan site fees and motel stays can increase the total further, especially if they include meals or additional guests. If the amount seems unusually high, it may represent a combined bill for several services or multiple people on one account.

Why is there a larger pending or temporary Camooweal Roadhouse charge than what I actually spent?

Some banks show a temporary pre-authorisation when you pay by card, particularly for pay-at-pump fuel transactions or when a card is used to secure a motel room. This can appear as a higher pending amount (for example, a standard hold limit for fuel) which later adjusts to the exact sale total once it is settled. The original hold should automatically drop off within a few business days, leaving only the correct final charge.

How can I get a copy of my receipt from Camooweal Roadhouse?

If you’ve misplaced your receipt, contact Camooweal Roadhouse using the details on camoowealroadhouse.net.au and provide the date and approximate time of the transaction, the amount, and the last four digits of your card. Staff can search their point-of-sale records and, where available, email or message you a copy or summary of the receipt. For accommodation or caravan bookings, they may also be able to re-send your booking or invoice details.

How do I cancel or change a motel or caravan booking at Camooweal Roadhouse?

To change or cancel a booking, contact the roadhouse directly by phone or via the contact details provided on camoowealroadhouse.net.au. As a small, regional property, cancellation policies can vary depending on how and when you booked (same-day, peak periods, or third-party booking sites). Ask them to confirm any applicable cancellation fees and whether a full or partial refund or credit can be provided based on their policy and the notice you’ve given.

How do I request a refund or dispute a Camooweal Roadhouse charge?

If you believe you’ve been overcharged, charged twice, or billed in error, first contact Camooweal Roadhouse with your transaction details so they can check their till and EFTPOS records. They can usually correct clear mistakes on-site or arrange a reversal or refund back to your card. If you can’t resolve the issue directly or suspect fraud, contact your bank or card issuer to lodge a dispute or chargeback, making sure to share any receipts or correspondence you have.

Why do I see multiple Camooweal Roadhouse charges on the same day?

Multiple same-day charges can occur if you paid separately for fuel and then for meals or groceries, or if different members of your group used the same card at different times. In some cases, a pre-authorisation and the final charge may both appear temporarily until the hold is released. Review each amount against your travel activities that day, and if something still doesn’t line up, contact the roadhouse or your bank for clarification.
