Dalrymple Heights Rainforest Stay in Queensland

Host Tony Heal says:

If you want to get away from it all and relax beside a beautiful crystal clear spring-fed creek with a rainforest backdrop while clouds float by, then this is a place for you.

We have one creek site with or without power, you will have the place to yourselves with the exception of us in the main residence up the hill.

We are not a commercial campground and are in process of restoring the property back to its glory and bring back the native animals after being effected by bushfires in 2018.

There are BBQ and fire pit areas setup for your use at the site and firewood is readily available at fee.

The property is located 800m above sea level 11km up Dalrymple Road in Eungella. The property entrance is concealed and on the left side were wheelie bins are located and opposite a traffic mirror. From the front gate which is on your left and has a Land for Wildlife sign is a locked gate.

Eungella National Park is boarding the back of the property where the cloud rainforest and creek are located. Nights can be cold and rain sometimes unpredictable.

We have a 150 acre property, 50 acres of which is rainforest with a magical creek winding through it. Rainforest walks have been marked or you can just follow the creek and discover secluded swimming holes with small waterfalls.

There are leaches in the rainforest and we recommend that you bring insect repellent and adequate hiking gear.

You will love the bird watching, sighting the native animals with many rare species around. Forest bathing is a must with areas setup to sit and relax.

During November firefly´s drift through the property at dusk.

Rosellas, King Parrots and Finch's are popular on the property and Cockatoos make a regular visit. After a good rain, a frog fest starts and can be heard all night.

There are chickens free ranging and Kookaburras have a good laugh at them most days.

Access to the property is by booking only, we recommend, 4WD and AWD during the wet season but 2WD is ok during the dry times. High clearance caravans up to 7m or medium size campers are ok, we have a long gravel entry road into the property with inclines and tight bends as shown in photos. A tractor is available on site if needed in wet conditions.

Campers are preferred to have own amenities and all waste has to be collected and taken off the property.

Use of the amenity block is available at the main residence and on request. Washing machine and dryer are available for a fee. Please contact us if you need further information.

This is a dog (10kg and less) and horse friendly property. We have many ground feeding birds and wallabies and request that animals not wonder unattended. If your pet is well trained and can be restrained from casing wildlife please ask for confirmation to bring them along.

Please note that we have parasite ticks on the property and recommend that you give your pet a tick treatment prior to arriving.

We have no mobile phone coverage on the camp site, limited coverage if you drive up the hill at the highest point.

Internet is available at the main residence at a fee per stay.
