Private sites
100% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.
Offering a small number of private camp sites spread across 5000 acres of diverse landscape. From the 25 acre lake to the refreshing Emerald Creek; from your own billabong & gumtrees to being up in the escarpment with spectacular views, you are sure to find your perfect escape.  Guest will have access to a composting toilet during their stay. All guests are required to take all rubbish with them and leave no trace. Ideal for solo adventurers or small to large groups. Some sites are accessible by 2WD and suitable for trailers, small caravans and campervans, others by 4WD only. - Each camp site is for one party only & 100's of meters or even kilometers away from any others. All campers have access to our big lake & creek day areas. Enjoy leisurely walks or challenging hikes, climbing, mountain biking, swimming, canoeing etc. - We are situated right next to the magnificent Emerald Falls, Wet Tropics World Heritage Area and Davies Creek Mountain Bike Park. - Sorry no pets. - Only one hour from Cairns international airport.

Camp 05 - 4WD only - on creek
Relaxing, shady and pristine.
We loved camp site 5. There was good space for us all to spread out over two main sites that linked nicely to the cool clear waters of Emerald Creek with great shade throughout all of the common areas. We drove in with both 4x4 and all wheel drives and the tracks were very reasonable to navigate, there was even a small creek crossing which was great fun for the kids. The creek was about waist deep in the deepest section and flowing quite fast in some areas. It was suitable for a medium kayak and kids had a blast. We will be back!

The directions were spot on. The camp-site was fabulous for us, with a beautiful view & wondeful breeze. The location to Emerald Falls was easy access with a 4wd (we didnt need 4wd). Would we go back?? Absolutely YES. We didn't need to use our loo, as every site has a composting toilet & they dont stink! ...happy days!! Obviously the hosts enforce the "what you bring with you, you take home with you". The sites was spotless.

My wife and I loved camping at site #6 on the escarpment. Beautiful views, consistently cool breezes and no mosquitos.

Camp 03 - 2WD or 4WD - own billabong
Anti climax
Not suitable for any small caravan or trailer...no safe turning area...too long a grass area..bush fire hazzard and vermin hazzard..billabong beautiful..that,s all it,s got going for it..left the first night, went elsewhere for the remaining nights....much better sites up the road at Mareeba Bush Camps and cheaper with water and flushing toilets $15 per couple per night.
