A really relaxing spot. Lots of bird life. Close to the action but far enough away not to care. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time camping at Daintree Exotics. We learned so much about the different tropical fruits and found Diane and Darrell to be very kind hosts. We will definitely be back!

Great little campsite only a few minutes from Mossman and 2 minutes from the fantastic Newell Beach.
Great location to explore the Daintree, Port Douglas areas and local freshwater swimming holes.
All sites are grass around a small man-made dam with fire pits, surrounded by farm land, with friendly cattle. There's a communal shed to catch up with neighbours at sundown.
Family run property very welcoming. No power or toilet but ideal for self contained camping and vans, with water taps available to top up your own tanks.
Ideal place to explore from or just relax.

Beautiful spot with lots of room, simple facilities. Walk to a waterfall through rainforest was a highlight, as was having a pony neighbour and all the tropical fruit trees. The mosquitoes were next level, but just part of the environment, recommend tropical strength deet and a mozzie coil or ten!

We loved the location, grassy open area surrounded by beautiful hills and the creek nearby which you could swim in was an added bonus. Liana was a lovely host. We would definitely stay there again.

Very well maintained and a clean site. The amenities are decent with running water. Right near the creek with a great waterfall and swimming hole down a beautifully meandering walking track.
Worth the visit.

Absolutely stunning!! What a magical backdrop for our 3 night stay! We wanted to experience the Daintree Rainforest and these guys sure did provide that. We loved swimming in the waterhole and the magical walk to the private waterfall was amazing. A very special place. Easy to find, welcoming wildlife and beautiful spot. Definitely put it on the list for a return visit some day.

Nice little stop off next to a small dam.
Roomy sites and well marked. Each site with a fire pit.
Would benefit from some toilets and a shower but advertised as needing to be self contained so not too disappointed about the lack of.
Only 6-7 sites in total so not too many people.
Very quiet and peaceful.
Drinking water available but not power.

Loved it, stayed 2 nights total. Amos is very welcoming. Great spot, dog was happy and I was rested! Creek crossing to get in and cows, dogs, chickens and native wildlife to keep you occupied. Beautiful place to refresh after/before Cape York!

Really lovely and secluded orchard with mature fruiting trees, fragrant flowers, and lush green grass - a welcome stay on my way from Cape York to unwind before Bloomfield track home, accompanied by my dog. The road here is also really scenic and well worth the drive. Bonus for the crystal clear safe creek, very good for drinking & swimming. Amos & his mum made Xena and I very welcome in their slice of paradise, that is also home to Cricket & Toby (the pig defender), chickens and cows. Thank you so much for the pleasure of staying here, I'm so lucky that I got the place to myself - Xena had a ball! Recommend site 3 for most privacy, great tree to camp under, and for solar dependent campers.

The best ranch camping in Cape Tribulation guide
Where to go
Daintree Village
The pioneer-era timber logging township of Daintree Village is 48 km south of Cape Tribulation. There’s not much to do at this quirky village, but it’s a good place to stock up on essential supplies, and it has a good pub and a couple of cafes.
Mossman Gorge
The heart of the other section of Daintree National Park, Mossman Gorge is a popular swimming hole among huge granite boulders on the Mossman River. Entry is only via fee-based shuttle bus from the Mossman Gorge Centre.
Cow Bay
The Daintree Discovery Centre at Cow Bay has more than 900 metres of elevated rainforest boardwalks, a 10-metre-high aerial walkway to explore the tree canopy, and a 23-metre tower for expansive views. Self-guided audio tours are included, and visitors gain access to an informative interpretive display.
Kuranda
Kuranda is another rainforest village, best visited on the way north from Cairns. It has several wildlife attractions (including a butterfly house) and offers both Barron River cruises and rainforest walks. It’s unashamedly touristy with lots of markets and souvenir shops, but it’s a scenic stop that can be reached from Cairns via the Skyrail cableway and/or the Kuranda Scenic Rail historic train.
Mount Alexandra (Walu Wugirriga) Lookout
The Mount Alexandra (Walu Wugirriga) lookout, about 5 km from the Daintree River ferry crossing on the road to Cape Tribulation, has the best views of the coast and nearby islands.
When to go
The best months to visit Cape Tribulation are July to November, during the “dry” season. At this time of year, toxic marine stingers are less likely to inhabit the water. December to March is hot and humid, and from February to March, campers find lots of rain. Cyclones are possible between November and April.
