Our boutique park is small in size but big on comfort, with a large pool, gym, TV room, camp kitchen and clean, well-kept amenities.
We are a pet friendly park that suit families, couples, or solo travellers. Whether you’re rolling in with a caravan, motorhome, or a campervan, our powered sites are ready for you.
Mission Beach is famous for cassowaries along with the stunning blue Ulysses butterfly. For a little town, it has all the essentials you’ll need, plus those holiday extras that make life easy.
Of course, the beaches are the star – Wongaling and the greater Mission Beach stretch are perfect for a stroll, a swim, or just watching the sunrise. But if you’re keen to explore, there’s fishing (solo or on charter), rainforest walks, local tours, and for the adventurous, white-water rafting and skydiving.
Best of all, our park is within walking distance to shops, cafes, and more – so you can park up, relax, and enjoy your slice of paradise.

A little spot of paradise right here on earth. I felt as though I were wandering the Amazon. Dead white sand, crystal clear water, cool and green, jungly trees reaching across the creek, a place to restore your soul.

This place is truly your ultimate camping experience. The land where we camp is large enough for multiple caravans and level. Right in front of where you camp is the most magical fresh water creek. Plus your own private waterfall which is a short walk from your site. This place is truly so special and magical. Hubby and I have a rule that we never return to the same place twice. In 15 years of travelling around the world- this place is the only exception
Jodie is so wonderful and welcoming. Please please please respect this place and leave no trace. Jodie thank you so much for allowing us to stay here. It really is one of a kind
Oh my god! I forgot to mention the 2 most friendly and kind camp doggos that will come say hi and Blue will lead you to the waterfall like a little rainforest wizard guide haha

We so enjoyed our stay, one of our favourite camps ever. I would return to the area just to stay here again. The beautiful gardens welcomed us in, and our beautifully private lush campsite was easy to access and well presented. The crystal clear creek was the cherry on top, and beautiful Blue the border collie was a great tour guide up to the private waterfall. I loved the company of the horses and dogs so much, and Jodie was a lovely host. The wildlife surrounding us was beautiful, and we even saw fireflies at night. Just, incredible. Thank you so much Jodie and family!

This is by far one of the best kept secrets around FNQ for a secluded camping experience. From driving through rows of flowers on a property nestled into the mountains, to the spacious and clean grounds that are right next to a crystal clear running creek. The ambience of running water and the surrounding bird life is so calming! That's not even the best part, you will surely be greeted by two gorgeous dogs on the property who might even lead you to the owners private waterfall which is a whole other experience in itself. One of the best spots around! Thank you so much Jodie for hosting such a magical space for others! Will surely be back again soon :)

The best luxury camping near Mission Beach guide
Where to go
Cassowary Coast
Mission Beach lies along Queensland’s Cassowary Coast, where white-sand beaches hug the shores and boat cruises set sail for the Great Barrier Reef islands. Hop between sleepy beach towns, go fishing along the Tully River, or visit beauty spots such as the Babinda Boulders. For the ultimate adventure, cruise out to Hinchinbrook Island to trek the rugged Thorsborne Trail, kayak between secluded coves, and camp out at remote bush campgrounds.
Wet Tropics
Hemmed in by lush bands of rainforest, Mission Beach is a strategic basecamp from which to explore the UNESCO-listed Wet Tropics. Head north to Wooroonooran National Park to hike or mountain bike through the Goldsborough Valley, or trek to the top of Queensland’s highest peak. To the west, enjoy riverside camping, rafting, and kayaking in the Tully Gorge National Park, or continue south to Girringun National Park and hike to waterfalls and backcountry campsites.
Atherton Tablelands
The wild landscapes of the Atherton Tablelands stretch north of the Tully Gorge all the way to Kuranda. Hike along rainforest trails, swim beneath natural waterfalls, or go mountain biking along rugged forest trails. Campers will find plenty of options around the towns of Atherton, Malanda, and Ravenshoe.
When to go
Beach days can be enjoyed year-round at Mission Beach, but take care from October through June—this is stinger season, so avoid swimming outside of the designated areas where stinger nets are in place. If you can, time your visit to enjoy the popular Mission Beach markets, held on the first and third Sundays of each month.
Know before you go
- Mission Beach can be tricky to reach by public transport, and having your own transport is useful for exploring the coast and surrounding national parks.
- There is a large selection of shops, cafés, and restaurants at Mission Beach, so stock up on supplies before heading out into the tablelands.
- Fire bans are common in Queensland during summer and dry periods, so be sure to check local recommendations before starting a fire and always use designated fire pits.
