You will have access to our beautiful peaceful surroundings, with adequate shelter under some lovely big trees park your camper or pitch a swag. We also have a nice running creek that you can enjoy watching our many wildlife that are present throughout the creek, fish, eels and turtles.
It's truly a very private and relaxing spot to chill out and enjoy camping for a few days or whatever suits your needs while passing the area. Plenty of fantastic swimming holes nearby including Josephine falls and Babinda boulders very popular spots for tourist and the locals.
Site 1 right down on the creek large grass flat space big enough for two families to set up camp. The creek runs around the outside so there are a number of viewing points to see the wildlife mentioned above. A set of solar lights hang over the firepit area allowing for more light while cooking on our wonderful swinging hotplate BBQ.
Site 2 Our newer spot work in progress not so ideal for camper trailers. your situated under our tree line away from the main creek. A smaller paver firepit, plenty fine for sitting around an open fire while watching the stars at night.
Swimming in the creek is not recommended.
So please check by internal message before confirming your booking that way we can confirm a spot while discussing your needs to ensure you have a clear view of your camping area.
Onsite we have our shared outhouse porta toilet which is positioned in the middle of both camping areas for everyone's convenience.
Take note of our extras available when confirming your booking firewood available if in stock on arrival pls ask.

Daintree Beach Resort has seen many exciting changes over the last 18 months and there are more to come.
Our private tropical oasis, on the doorstep of the Daintree Rainforest has seen many guests return year after year to enjoy this perfect piece of paradise. With our exciting changes, we look forward to seeing the resort evolve from a sleepy caravan park, to a vibrant resort style property with a variety of accommodation options, food and beverage offerings, new and improved facilities plus a new resort style pool and beach bar which we are hoping to confirm in 2025.
In May 2024, we completed the first of our glamping pavilions. These pavilions have allowed us to provide our first step of offering a variety of accommodation options for our discerning guests. This project received tourism grant funding from the Australian Government, which has allowed us to expand on our original concept and has made the glamping pavilions really quite special.
Our amenity buildings have undertaken a fresh makeover which now provides state of the art washing machines and dryers with tap and go payment options - no need for coins. A vending machine for that late afternoon or evening snack, immaculately clean bathrooms and a camp kitchen with shared facilities for those campers who like to do their own thing.
Our Food & Beverage van is now open and offers a variety of food choices. Open daily from 12pm to 8.00pm (season dependent) we invite our guests and locals to come and enjoy our beautiful park setting.
With a multitude of accommodation options for the most discerning guest, Daintree Beach Resort is becoming the destination, not just a place to stay.

A beautiful spot next to Hartley's Creek. Enjoyed hearing the sounds of the water from our camp and exploring along the banks of the creek with the butterflies and birds. Lovely to sit by the fire in the evening and watch the bats come out. (fire pits in each camp spot) Very friendly owners with excellent amenities. We only had a quick overnight visit but we will be back for a longer stay next time. Loved the vibe here ♥
