The best camping near Babinda

·

Little Babinda is south of Cairns, on the Bruce Highway and beside the UNESCO-listed Wooroonooran National Park. It’s famous for the Babinda Boulders, a scenic swimming hole in tropical rainforest that sits in the shadow of Queensland’s tallest mountain, Mount Bartle Frere. There are plenty of outdoor adventures to enjoy around Babinda and the national park, and good camping facilities, from well-equipped holiday parks to a couple of basic, free riverside campsites. The most basic campsites tend to offer cold showers, and some private campsites are restricted to self-contained camper vehicles only. Babinda is one of the wettest towns in Australia, so be warned: Campers with caravans or motorhomes may be more comfortable than those with tents in the rainy season (November–April). Stay up-to-date with local weather reports to avoid flooded areas. Some campsites close seasonally.

Weekend Trip to Malanda Stream Private Camping.
Well am most impressed with Heidi and Mikes property, a right little gem in the heart of the tablelands, so quiet, secluded and private but with some amenities! We saw some Platypus, we ate fresh eggs and we had a wicked thunderstorm to deal with, and yet still enjoyed our stay, we will be back, hopefully without the storms! See you next time!

Absolute hidden gem, Kris and Emma are the best hosts, so accomodating and friendly. They helped us with some local knowledge and made sure we were all set up and comfortable during our stay. We came during some heavy rain and they were more than happy for us to drive into their barn and stay in there so we had some cover for our stay. We were only supposed to stay one night but ended up staying 3. So central to everything you could need and lots of amazing things to see around here. Would 100000% recommend!!

Beautiful, spacious & private campsite. Ray came down to greet us upon arrival, very friendly and accomodating host, he even offered us a tour of the vanilla orchard.

The best campsite we stayed at during our travels, the host Sheree was lovely and the facilities were perfect, not to mention the unbelievable views of the landscape and animals. Would highly recommended to anyone.

Beautiful setting with a lovely clear running creek to swim in. Owners are great and camp site toilets and showers are clean. Can't recommend this place enough, our second time staying here and we'll be back for sure.

What an awesome secluded area to relax. The cool creek and the green well kept grass ground. The endless stars at night and the country peace definitely be back. The doggos loved it.
