Sprawled across more than 17 acres and surrounded by lush, native bushland, Lake Tinaroo Holiday Park has a brand new all abilities Splash Pad and Accessible Pool. It is just a stone’s throw from stunning Lake Tinaroo – the heart of adventure on the Atherton Tableland.

2. Rainforest Retreat Hideaway

8.8km from Palm Cove · 2 sites · Tents, RVs

Escape to your own private rainforest hideaway. Tucked away and surrounded by nature, this campsite offers peace, seclusion, and the perfect chance to recharge and unwind. We’re just minutes from Kuranda Heritage Markets, refreshing waterfalls, crystal-clear swimming holes, the Barron River, and a host of local attractions. On the property, you’ll find edible gardens to graze from, a seasonal creek at the boundary, and lush protected rainforest waiting to be explored. If you’re seeking a quiet stay away from the crowds, this is the place for you. Amenities include an outdoor hot water bath and shower set amongst the rainforest, a composting toilet, and a rustic outdoor camp kitchen. Our main house is 50m away but the camp-site has full privacy from the house. Please note: we’re unable to accommodate pets to protect our native wildlife. Our resident curlews just had babies, again ;)

Weekend Trip to Rainforest Retreat Hideaway

Incredible spot - very tranquil. Couldn't hear any traffic from the road. Lots of birds. Ample firewood provided and we made it work despite the rain. The bathtub was divine as well.

4 nights at Lake Tinaroo Holiday Park

We went for the Easter long weekend for the first time and we had heaps of fun as a family! The splash pad, pool and the jumping pillow were just the highlight for our kids and so was the basketball court. The staff were super friendly and there were some Easter activities which were organised such as the Easter Egg Hunt, Fire Truck visit, face painting and live music... all unexpected but heaps of fun! Wish that the basketball court had some lights though so we could have played a few games after dinner and the camp-site numbering system needs an update for sure as most of them were deteriorated.
