1 night at Daintree RV Park

Fantastic spot with level, green, well kept grass. Beautiful outlook of mountains with the Daintree river below. Easy 5 minute stroll to the tiny Daintree township and pub. Peaceful watching the cows and calves directly adjacent to site. Ending up staying 5 nights and used this as our base to visit Port Douglass (45 minute drive), Cooktown and back in a day (long day driving) and the very challenging 4WD Creb track and just time to chill and enjoy the serenity. Potable water on site is a bonus and helped us extend our stay. Highly recommend

1 night at The Cyclone Bunker

Connor is an awsome friendly guy who bends over backwards to help you out. The place was perfect 👌, we tried booking the caravan park in Wonga and found out why... plenty of spots but nothing for a family and dog, the lady was rude there when we were trying to get to the beach. Highly recommend the Cyclone Bunker, super friendly had a good yarn and offered more then he needed to. Thanks again

We had a wonderful stay at this campsite! The facilities were clean and well-maintained, including the toilets and showers. The hosts were extremely kind, welcoming, and attentive. They informed us that it is a nudist-friendly site, but emphasized that it is not mandatory—very considerate. Overall, a lovely place with a warm and friendly atmosphere.
