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!!

Nice grassy campsite with plenty of room, unfortunately no direct access to river at the site but can access river near the house. Hosts are genuine lovely people and very welcoming. Short drive into Malanda for supplies. We purchased their firewood for our portable pit which was great. Bunch of friendly cows may visit and our dog loved playing with Connie the border collie, will stay again soon.

Would definitely be coming back! With plenty of area space and privacy, even if you go with friends you won’t feel crowded. Plenty of activities to do throughout the days such as waterfalls, creeks and the hot springs only minutes away. Not to mention, the beautiful sunset you witness each afternoon. The hosts were very hospitable and willing to help when needed. Sink at site to make washing dishes easier, and lovely little shack with plenty of space if needed.

We had a great stay at this fantastic spot! The site was clear, well maintained and exactly as described. Beautiful tall trees, mountain views in the distance and a great fire pit with loads of quality wood (easily found around and even some prepared ready to go when we arrived). The running water/sink setup was handy, the shady table area was perfect for sunsets and puzzle time, and there was plenty of space for the kids to ride their bikes. The creek just 5 minutes drive away was perfect for swimming, and Ravenshoe is a charming little town to visit. Couldn’t ask for more — highly recommend!

The best dog-friendly caravan sites near Bramston Beach guide
Where to go
Wooroonooran National Park
A 20-minute drive inland brings you to the wild rivers and waterfalls of Wooroonooran National Park, where you can hike through dense rainforest, go canoeing through scenic gorges, or tackle the mountain biking trails of the Misty Mountains. Highlights include the Mamu Tropical Skywalk and Queensland’s highest mountain, Bartle Frere, while campers can choose from three campgrounds with space for tents and camper trailers.
Tully Gorge National Park
Just south of Wooroonooran, the Misty Mountains tumble down into Tully Gorge National Park, where outdoor adventurers can hike, kayak, and go white-water rafting in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. There are also natural swimming holes where you can cool off and two campgrounds with unpowered sites for campervans and motorhomes.
Great Barrier Reef
With easy access to Cairns, Bramston Beach is well situated for discovering the UNESCO-listed Great Barrier Reef. The underwater world of dazzling corals and diverse marine life is best discovered on a snorkelling or scuba diving tour, but you can also cruise the reef on a glass-bottomed boat, camp out on a barrier island, or take a scenic flight.
When to go
The (comparatively) cooler, dryer months of April through November provide the most favourable weather for forays into Queensland’s Far North. This is prime time for snorkelling, diving, and outdoor activities, and coincides with whale-watching season (July-Sept). If you’re hiking and camping in summer (Dec-Feb), come prepared for soaring temperatures, high humidity, and regular downpours.
