Perched on the south bank of the Daintree River and hemmed in by lush rainforest and tropical fruit farms, the small village of Daintree is the gateway to the Daintree National Park. You can take in the park’s two rainforest sections, north and south of the river, over the course of a few days, but there are natural attractions closer to home too. Set sail on a scenic cruise and enjoy fishing, bird-watching, and crocodile-spotting along the Daintree River. Park your campervan in town along the riverside or venture into the national park to camp out amid the rainforest. There is no public transport to Daintree Village, so you will need your own vehicle or to visit as part of a tour. You can also explore different options for camping near Daintree on Hipcamp.
