The river has been at normal flow. Expect it to be influenced by storms for the remainder of the season. Fish are being caught Please note, our rates are per vehicle per night ( if you have an additional vehicle, just book an additional site or additional nights. This assists in avoiding overcrowding) There is NO access to our property from Kuranda end! Visitors need to go through Mareeba A beautiful 160 acre paddock that you can enjoy. Cleared slashed areas beside the river. Enjoy a river swim to cool you down during summer and go for a cold dip during winter. River is also good for fishing during the right season. Access to river is 100 metres on graded walking track. Unless you have a ‘booster ’there is very limited mobile coverage or internet. {enjoy the peace and solitude} Access to the property is fourteen kilometres gravel, coming off the highway. Sites are private separated from each other, some sites suit clothing optional guests Site is 300 metres from road and provides privacy. Tents and small caravans are ideal. Not suitable for highway caravans or very large vans as the access will be too rough. There are walking areas at rear of property.

Exclusive use of a private camp site! We love our slice of paradise and want to share it with others. We have been improving the land since moving here with a focus on regeneration and sustainable farming practices, such as excluding cattle from the river, replanting and finding alternate ways to approach pest management. At times we host women's wellness retreats with consistent positive feedback of being nurtured by nature.

What a remarkable place, the location down along the river with plenty of shade and green grass was so beautiful. The flushing toilet and shower were an added bonus. Heidi and Mike are a lovely couple and were very quick to reply to my messages. We camped with 8 friends and everyone raved about it, we will definitely return

Heidi & Mike really are superb hosts and their secluded creek-side property is utterly amazing. We were spoilt for choice for creekside areas to park our caravan, all of the potential sites were equally stunning, beautifully level with a lush buffalo grass carpet. The wildlife was abundant and a true joy for birdwatchers - Victoia's Riflebirds, Wompoo Fruit Doves, Emerald Doves, Spotted Catbirds, Forrest Kingfishers and Honeyeaters. We didn't get to see a Tree Kangaroo but we did see Platypus swimming in the creek next to camp. Amazing!! Heidi & Mike, thanks for sharing your sensational slice of paradise, and we most certainly will return.

Dee put us on a nice flat, grassy, spot away from most other campers.. it was perfect! The creek is beautiful, crystal clear water and has spots deep enough to dip your entire body and spots shallow enough that our 2 toddlers could explore. Absolutely loved our stay, thanks Dee!

Loved this little property! We changed spots after chatting to Margie on arrival as she said there was a spot we might see a croc! It was a lovely spot, with beautiful views around. Margie was very accommodating and helpful! Great spot to then Hike Walsh's Pyramid and check out Behana Creek. Would stay again

What a lovely spot! We were unfortunately there with the March flies ( November in the tropics!) but we lit a fire and they mostly left us alone to watch the birds. Theresa & Frank offered us the use of the swimming pool but it was cool enough at this altitude that we enjoyed a walk with our pooch and a glass of red by the fire.

Our stay at Twitchers Hill was brilliant. Frank and Theresa were so kind and accommodating and made sure our stay was comfortable. The site is beautiful with a view of the mountains. The amenities were good and have a hot shower. I would highly recommend staying here and would definitely visit again.

The best camping in Green Island National Park, QLD guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure to Green Island National Park, a tropical jewel nestled on the Great Barrier Reef. Here, visitors can immerse themselves in activities like snorkelling amid vibrant coral gardens, exploring lush rainforest trails, and unwinding on sun-kissed beaches. Although overnight stays are not an option, the island's day-use area offers a scenic escape with all the allure of a remote island getaway.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Green Island National Park is between April and September, when the weather is cooler and less humid. These months offer the most comfortable conditions for exploring the island's natural beauty. However, be mindful of the summer months, as the presence of stinging jellyfish and tropical storms can make visits less pleasant.

Know before you go

  • Protect yourself from the sun with a hat and sunscreen, and consider wearing a full-body lycra suit for protection against stinging jellyfish.
  • Check weather conditions before your visit, as strong winds or cyclonic activity may affect access to the island.
  • Remember, no domestic animals are allowed on Green Island National Park.
  • Wheelchair-accessible boardwalks and tracks are available for an inclusive experience.
  • Be pest-free! Ensure your gear is free of soil, seeds, and insects to protect the island's ecosystem.
