Me and my wife enjoyed some much needed relaxation and connection to earth here. The camp hosts Helen and CJ treated us like family. We enjoyed experiencing a smoking ceremony, followed by enjoying home made damper, tea and coffee. We were then led on an amazing rainforest walk, being taught about local plants and culture along the way. If you want to experience a land full of good energy, peace and quiet, this is the place.

Carmen was so polite and helpful, the camping was great for escape from the city life, the walk with Uncle Erl was really nice , he showed us the waterfalls and shared information about the djibugay customs and lifestyle. Also the pizza at the camping was delicious. I would definitely recommend staying at Billabong Kuranda and go to the pub/ cafe as the night we went it had live music and super cool atmosphere!

My first HipCamp experience was excellent at the Billabong. Arriving on Pizza night, I was off to an excellent start. Outlook was beautiful in every direction. Facilities were basic but adequate- it’s not the Ritz. Staff are so VERY kind and helpful but most importantly, the coffee is amazing. Chill, positive environment with bonus local Guinea fowl ❤️

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.
