The best camping near Mount Lewis National Park guide

Overview

About

Venture into the heart of biodiversity at Mount Lewis National Park, a haven for nature enthusiasts and wildlife spotters. Traverse the scenic Mount Lewis Road, a journey through diverse habitats home to endemic species. While camping is not available within the park, the array of activities, from birdwatching to four-wheel driving, promises an unforgettable adventure in Tropical North Queensland.

When to go

The best time to visit Mount Lewis National Park is during the cooler, drier months from May to September. The lower humidity and milder temperatures offer a comfortable exploration experience. Avoid the wet season from December to April, as heavy rains can make roads impassable and limit access to the park's features.

Know before you go

  • Mount Lewis Road is four-wheel drive only; check for closures due to wet weather before your visit.
  • Prepare for cooler temperatures, especially at higher altitudes within the park.
  • Bring wet weather gear and treat all water before drinking.
  • Mobile phone coverage is unreliable; inform someone of your travel plans.
  • Respect the park's natural environment; remember that domestic animals and the use of firearms are prohibited.
