Rainforest camping

Lovely peaceful place to camp with plenty of space to choose from. Hosts were great with communication and made sure we were set up well with our caravan. Awesome location to explore nearby attractions (stoney creek, cooberrie wildlife sanctuary, yepoon, capricorn caves). And the hot bucket showers were great! Thanks for an amazing stay!

Unreal camp

It was such a lovely experience. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly. My mother was on her first camping trip ever ant 69yrs old and enjoy every minute of it. A very pet friendly accommodation and they enjoyed swimming in the dam on the warmer days. We’ve been to the Daintree and found the campsite very similar, it was unreal!! As with the Daintree and any lush, beautiful site, we recommend taking bug repellent as they love this site too. We will definitely be back again!
