34km from Mareeba · 333 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Cairns, QLD

Few holiday resorts compare in popularity to our award-winning BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Cairns Coconut in Tropical North Queensland. In fact, if you looked up the definition of ‘kid’s paradise’, you’re likely to see a description of BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Cairns Coconut. Set just seven-minute drive from Cairns’ CBD, Cairns Coconut is an 11-hectare landscaped tropical oasis that holds its own against Cairns’ popular visitor attractions – the Great Barrier Reef, Wet Tropics Rainforest, and Atherton Tablelands. Accommodation comes in a few shapes and sizes – with cabins, condos, villas, caravan sites, and camping grounds available – all with the same access to the facilities that earned Ingenia Holidays Cairns Coconut its gold medal in the Queensland Tourism Awards (2019). Sure, World Heritage-listed icons might lure you out of the park’s surroundings but you can expect to walk away with holiday memories of what’s inside the park’s gates too; between the two swimming pools, slides, splash park, and pedal cars. If timing your visit for school holidays, be sure to call ahead to find out what activities are planned in-park – so parents can have some well-earned downtime and kids can burn off energy. *only sites are available for pet bookings* Please note: We are unable to accommodate boat, trailer, or van storage within the park.

This was a lovely family orientated campground with a great backdrop of the hills behind Cairns and lots of bird life in the trees. The bathroom was nice and modern and very clean. The laundry facilities were also excellent. There is lots to do here with pools, waterpark and golf. Pizza at the bar was also really good.

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

Mari's Serenity Bush Camp is truly a hidden gem, offering a perfect blend of relaxation and natural beauty. Nestled within a stunning expanse of savannah forest, the peaceful atmosphere is immediate, making it an ideal escape from the daily grind. Bird watchers will be absolutely thrilled; the exquisite bird life here is breathtaking, with countless species providing a constant, cheerful backdrop of sound and color in the trees. The camp's location is also incredibly convenient, sitting close enough to the famous Innot Hot Springs for an easy, rejuvenating day trip—a definite must-do. Above all, the entire experience is made deeply memorable by the owner, Mari, who is genuinely friendly, warm, and ensures every single guest feels immediately welcome and perfectly cared for. Highly recommended for anyone seeking tranquility and a genuine bush experience.

A beautiful spot tucked away just outside of Port Douglas. Had the whole campsite to ourselves. The dog could wander freely and explore to her hearts content. Beautiful trees and the floodlights made setting up at night a breeze. Will 100% be coming back.

Mari the host was exceptional! We had the whole place to ourselves and it was as the ad says 'serenity' 😌 Only a quick drive to the hot springs and to archer creek depending if you want warm or cold water it was the perfect spot! 2wd accessible as well!

Weekend Trip to Serenity Bush Camp

We stumbled across this bush camp and it turned out to be a hidden gem! The open space was perfect—plenty of room to spread out, with large sites easily big enough to fit two or three vans. It was incredibly peaceful, with nothing but the sounds of nature around us. At night, the stars put on an incredible show—so clear and beautiful, we could’ve watched the sky for hours. Best of all, it was super affordable, making it a great option for families or anyone travelling on a budget. If you're after a quiet, no-fuss spot to unwind and enjoy the bush, this place is a winner. Also only a short 5 minute drive to Innot Hot Springs.

Great place to stay, tucked away in the valley with views of the mountains. Close to Port Douglas and Craiglie. The bump track is at your door step, tough hike but worth it. Pat was very accommodating and his dog Ella is absolute beautiful.

I loved camping here as I had a spot about 3 meters from the rainforest. So relaxing to sit there and listen to the birds. There is a National Park next door, I think the walking trail is called the Bump but I have a dog so didn’t go up there. Padhraic is lovely guy, very friendly and he also fixed my trailer brakes for me which really came in handy today with some of the descents on the road from Cape Tribulation to Bloomfield. Thanks Padhraic
