Camping in Djiru National Park guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure through the verdant lowland rainforests of Djiru National Park. Traverse the park's numerous walking tracks, marvel at the unique fan palm galleries, and keep an eye out for the elusive cassowary. While camping is not available within the park, the surrounding Mission Beach area offers a variety of accommodation options to suit any explorer.

When to go

The best time to visit Djiru National Park is during the cooler, drier months from May to September. The weather is more pleasant for hiking, and the reduced rainfall means fewer mosquitoes. The wet season, from December to April, can be hot, humid, and prone to heavy rains, making some tracks less accessible.

Know before you go

  • Check for park alerts before your visit to stay informed about any closures or safety information.
  • Accessibility varies across the park, so inquire ahead if you require assistance.
  • Bring all necessary supplies, as the park offers limited facilities.
  • Respect the wildlife and remember that feeding animals is not permitted.
  • Always stay on designated tracks to protect the park's delicate ecosystems and your own safety.
