A beautiful rainforest creek runs the entire property length with multiple billabongs and walking trails that campers can enjoy. Our management priority is maintaining maximum species biodiversity for native plants and animals. We request campers are entirely self-sufficient and respect that we are a nature refuge, not a party camp. Leave no trace campers only. We only take one booking at a time so campers (and us!) have peace and quiet during your stay. Fire wood is cut and ready for use in the designated fire pits. Enjoy the dawn and dusk bird chorus, platypus watching in the creek, or other nature-based activities. No hunting or fishing of any kind as we are a nature refuge. No domestic pets. Arrival is strictly between 12noon and 6pm daily. No arrivals after dark due to wildlife on our roads.

Surrounded by 40,000 acres of world heritage rainforest,
15 minutes outside the village of Kuranda, you will camp next to the mighty Barron River.
This place is totally private and
you have access to a sandy beach where swimming is safe and completely secluded. It's a great place
for kayaking and stand up paddle boarding. There is a 360 degree view from the property, with nothing made by man in the way.
When we purchased this property 37 years ago and built our unique home, it was
denuded cattle land, and now we are surrounded by the most beautiful rainforest.
We planted approximately 8000 trees.!
We have 4 sites available all close to the river, and can provide water as well as access to our toilet. We are agile wallaby carers, with the rescued joeys being released back into the forest from here. After a day of kayaking or hiking or exploring the area we also offer a sunset massage (as available ) by a local masseuse who lives on the property. Watch the stars in the night sky at your own campfire.

What a beautiful property ! We loved our stay, even though it was short due to the weather (it’s wet season after all).
There are lots of beautiful grassy spots to choose from & the dam was a great spot to take a dip & cool off in. The toilets & showers were handy, very clean only a short stroll from where we camped.
We enjoyed walking around & seeing all the cows, horses & donkeys. Joys dogs were also very friendly & playful.
We even had a cute duck come & join us for breakfast 😂
Had a quick paddle in one of the canoes provided next to the dam which was fun.
We will definitely be back when the weather behaves 👍🏼
