Wildside Camp Retreat — Rainforest & Reef Escape Tucked away in a clearing surrounded by rainforest just minutes from the reef and the Tully River, Wildside Camp Retreat offers a peaceful base to camp, unwind, and explore. A freshwater creek flows gently through the property, bordered by palms and beautifully maintained green lawns — the perfect setting to relax or set up camp. Wake to the sounds of birdsong, wander beneath tropical palms, and keep an eye out for cassowaries and wallabies that often pass through. With easy access to Mission Beach, Dunk Island, and the Tully Gorge, this private spot is ideal for adventurers, families, and travellers seeking a true North Queensland nature escape. Facilities are simple and rustic, making it best suited for self-sufficient campers. Whether you’re here for rafting, island hopping, or simply relaxing by the creek, Wildside Camp Retreat is your gateway to rainforest and reef. Bitumen road to the gate with flat, easy access to your campsite.Set on two to three acres of beautifully maintained green lawn, Palm Grove is framed by rows of tropical palms and opens out to stunning views of the surrounding rainforest. It’s spacious and serene, giving campers plenty of room to spread out while still feeling tucked away in nature. Wildlife is a regular feature here — cassowaries are often seen wandering through the grove, and wallabies graze nearby at dusk. The wide-open sky makes for magical sunsets and star-gazing at night, while the central bonfire pit is perfect for gathering under the palms after a day of adventure. Jurs creek is just a short walk away. Whether you’re in a tent, camper trailer, or a big rig, Palm Grove offers a unique balance of manicured comfort and true North Queensland wilderness.

Our stay with Allan was absolutely beautiful. He greeted us when we arrived and made us feel very welcome and safe! The land was beautifully maintained, flat and gorgeous to relax in. We have two little kids (5&3) and we also have a 22ft caravan and this stay was perfect for us. Thank you for having us, Allan :)

Oh boy, this place has such special nurturing energy. I loved every moment spent here and was sorry to have to leave! Al is an excellent host and the space is truly so beautiful and soothing. One of my all time favourite places to camp for how well I rested! The creek is beautiful, a perfect walk for a morning cuppa or lunchtime escape from the sun. The grounds themselves are so well maintained and are stunning and spacious. The nature envelopes you here in a way that truly makes you feel held. I really cannot recommend this hipcamp enough hey. Definitely book this place if you are thinking of doing so, u will be SO happy you did!

Perfect Basecamp

Allan was a wonderful host, the site is fantastic, clean and well maintained. Wildlife is close to Mission Beach which makes it an awesome bascamp for exploring the region and all its offerings. The wildlife was plentiful with wallabies and lots of birds. Put this one high on your list if you’re looking for a quiet Basecamp retreat for exploring the Cassowary Coast.

We were Allans first hipcampers and loved his property. Fantastic campsite, close to Mission Beach and surrounded by rain forest. Excited to see a Cassowary dad with 2 chicks 😁 Would thoroughly recommend this campsite.
