Just 10 minutes north of Tully and 15 minutes to the beautiful Mission Beach, we are close to the highway so traveler’s can rest and enjoy our views, this peaceful rainforest retreat is the perfect base for your next adventure. Camp sites are located around the dam and waterfall with views of the Tully mountains and Tully town with the mill stacks in the far distance. Come and enjoy our peaceful spot.
It is a 5 minute drive to Alligators Nest which is the local swimming hole with crystal clear water but with no alligators, or try our local Feluga Pub for a coldie or a great pub meal a few minutes up the road. Or why not check out the great little town of Tully and that giant gumboot.
So come breathe in the fresh air and wake up the sounds of our beautiful bush birds. Fire wood available for a small fee. Please take all rubbish with you on departure.

We enjoyed the privacy of Site 3. We reversed out camper trailer in and there was sufficient room to open our awning. The convenience of the shower and toilet at the shed was an added bonus. We also enjoyed the short but well maintained walking track.

Awesome spot with great views, only ones on the site that night. Showers clean and close to top pitches, owner Cherie very friendly. Had Sweet the horse in the field next to us and she was a week overdue, hoping she’s got a healthy foal!

Site #3 was a great campsite over looking the horse paddock and Tully sugar mill in the distance.
Mill lit up at night below a starry sky was nice.
Waterfall was nice to fall asleep listening to.
Close to Tully and Mission Beach!
Clean full bathroom a short distance from all campsites.

I had such a great time at Tully Mountain Views! The mountain views were amazing, and having a fire pit at night was the perfect way to chill out. The facilities were really clean, and Sheree, the owner, was super helpful with clear directions. Definitely a spot I’d go back to!

I loved my private and secluded camp spot at Site 3 - Waterfall camp. Views looking down into the Tully valley are great, especially at sunrise and sunset.
Finding the place is easy and the signs lead you to your camp. Sheree came down and introduced herself and was very thoughtful and nice.
The spot is shaded, so might not suit those that need solar. I had a 17ft caravan and was able to get into the spot. If you are a bigger rig, you might find site 2 more suitable. Recommend this stay.

We loved our Waterfall stay, peaceful and quiet. The little bush walk around the dam was a nice addition. Sheree was great and dropped off the fire wood for us and very helpful. We were in a 20+m set up caravan/car. Although it rained over night we still got out with out an issue. High recommend for traveling looking to get out of the caravan parks for a bit. :)

Very friendly host. Beautiful site 3 with waterfall. Very unique…like we had our own private oasis, even though we had wet conditions. A long hose for cleaning was provided. Site 1 Dam and Site 2 Dam sites were also beautiful, private spots. We strongly recommend Sheree’s Hip Camp.
