48km from Mission Beach · 4 sites · Tents, RVsMount Mirinjo Camping is set on our 224-acre property, Mount Mirinjo Farm, near the end of a no-through road.
The property comprises lush rainforest, tropical flowers, bamboo, palms, and more than 100 different species of exotic fruit and nut trees. We are surrounded by rainforest-covered mountains and back onto Wooroonooran National Park.
To the north, there are amazing views across the valley to Mount Bartle Frere, Queensland’s highest mountain, while to the south, there are views over the property to Mount Mirinjo.
There is a bitumen road to the property entrance, followed by an all-weather gravel road to each campsite. The smaller sites, suited to campers, rooftop tents, and smaller vans, have gravel pads. The two larger sites are grassed and can accommodate three to four larger vans.
Clear, permanent Chooky Chooky Creek runs through the property, with the swimming hole just a short 6-minute walk from the campsite. It’s a great place to cool off or simply sit, relax, and feed the fish. You can also explore the rest of the property via a 30-minute return walking track, which takes you through towering bamboo, giant traveller’s palms, rainbow gums, and other unique exotic trees.
The campground is a great spot to set up for a few days, rest and relax, enjoy the rainforest surroundings, amazing views, and abundant birdlife, or explore the many attractions in the area.
Josephine Falls and Babinda Boulders are just 15 and 25 minutes away, respectively. Both are beautiful swimming spots.
Fuel and basic food supplies are available in the small township of Mirriwinni, a 12-minute drive away. The larger towns of Babinda and Innisfail are only 20 and 30 minutes away, respectively, and have everything you need.
You can take a half-day trip to visit award-winning Paronella Park or swim at the patrolled beach at Etty Bay, where you may even have the chance to see a cassowary.
Cairns, Mission Beach, and the Atherton Tablelands all make great day trips from here.
Pets are welcome but must be kept on a leash at all times.
Fires are allowed, but please BYO firewood.
There are no amenities, so campers must be fully self-sufficient.
We do provide potable water.
Please take all rubbish with you when you leave.
Be aware that we have coconut trees near some of the campsites. For your own safety, please do not park or sit underneath them.
Please note that, as this is an agricultural area, aerial spraying is carried out on a neighbouring property approximately once a month.
Also, be mindful that bullrout fish are native to the creeks and rivers in the area.
Phone reception is good with Optus but intermittent with Telstra.
Please do not mark or remove any plants or fruit. If you are interested in anything, feel free to ask. When in season, we also have tropical fruit available for purchase.
