Experience the Great Barrier Reef and horse-friendly trails when caravan camping near Bonnie Doon.
The remote beauty of Bonnie Doon calls caravan campers to the northern section of Queensland. Holiday parks in town typically feature electricity hookups, free wifi, and laundry facilities, leaving campers care-free so they can book a scuba diving tour and explore the Great Barrier Reef before heading to the tree-covered hills of Daintree Rainforest, an hour’s drive north. Shaded campsites with non-flush toilets, easy access to Noah Beach, and lots of local wildlife welcome campervans and camper trailers to the area. Head to Mount Alexandra lookout for picturesque views, or to the Mossman Gorge day-use area to picnic and relax. Equestrians, mountain bikers, and hikers love the varied trails in Kuranda National Park, just over an hour south of Bonnie Doon, where off-season visits between June and September bring the bonus of cooler weather and quieter pathways. Although there is no camping in the park, nearby towns like Clifton Beach and Smithfield have pet-friendly powered sites for motorhomes.
