Juliet and Grant have been custodians since 2003, in that time we've built a house, raised a family and now that Alex and Hayley are both at University, life has become a little quieter, (not so sure if we like the quiet though!) Now we've only just started with Hipcamp, we do have a lot to discover, happy to listen and learn. We do offer plenty of space and you will not be crowded out as we keep numbers very limited. No facilities, no toilets, showers, electricity, rubbish bins etc. We do ask that you respect this as you must be fully self contained. We do not consider, a bucket with a lid, to be self contained ok! Right now though in our top dam, we have a flock of White Egrets roosting at night, spectacular when they depart & return each day, however due to the number of these birds, hundreds if not more! they have fouled the water in the dam & it's a bit on the nose.

Perfect stop between Cairns and Port Douglas. Camp-site with everything you need with showers, laundry and communal BBQ but the privacy you desire and ability to sit around a fire at night. Liked it so much we had to stay again on return trip. Thanks Dean and team.

FQN at its finest. You won’t find any fauna or flora better than this on our planet. This spot, at the footings of Wooroonaran NP, nestled on the mighty Mulgrave river, is the best as it gets…be ready for it!

The proprietor, Dean, was the best! He was welcoming and helpful to us as newer campervan users. Even though we arrived after dark, we were able to get set up and ready to go the next day to our early planned activity. The retreat is neat and clean, with landscaping that helps campers feel separate from each other. It is fairly convenient for activities in Port Douglas or Cairns. We’d gladly come back.

Lovely experience at Three Falls, Nisha was a wonderful host who welcomed us at the gate and showed us round her beautiful property. The camping area was seculded and picturesque. Power and water was provided and we had a relaxed and private night, which was nice after many evenings in large, busy campsites. Nisha showed us her menagerie of animals, including a duck that thinks it's a chicken. Overall, this was a lovely place to stay after a day exploring all the nearby waterfalls.

What a gem of a place. Such a relaxing place to base yourselves or just chill. Lots of space with water and power hook up. A quick walk to the local beach. A good walk to a lovely swimming hole or waterfall. A pretty creek to look at with turtles and a most adorable crocodile. Dean is very friendly and accommodating, and staff,/others on the property are great. My only complaint is that after two nights we had to move on having bookings elsewhere. One of my favourite places after being on the road for two months. I hope this place doesn't change to much.

Camping in Kuranda National Park guide

Overview

About

Immerse yourself in the ancient rainforests of Kuranda National Park, a treasure trove of natural beauty and adventure. Explore the scenic Black Mountain Road, marvel at the imposing Black Mountain, and venture along the historic Bump Track. Witness the majestic southern cassowary and the elusive Lumholtz's tree-kangaroo in their natural habitat, and embrace the thrill of mountain biking through this World Heritage-listed wonderland.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Kuranda National Park is during the cooler, drier months from May to September. Enjoy warm weather with reduced humidity and comfortable temperatures around 26°C. The wet season, from December to April, brings heavy rainfall and potential cyclones, making some areas inaccessible.

Know before you go

  • Check park alerts for temporary closures due to weather events or maintenance.
  • Stay on designated tracks to protect the environment and ensure your safety.
  • Be prepared for the tropical climate with water, sun protection, and insect repellent.
  • Remember, domestic animals are not permitted in the park.
  • Respect the habitat of the southern cassowary and other wildlife by keeping a safe distance.
