Aloomba Homestead (Tropical Qld)

6 sites · RVs, Tents150 acres · Aloomba, QLD
If you love campfires, birdwatching, freshwater creeks, fishing, and solitude, come and share the quietness of our 150 acre offgrid homestead and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Tropical North Queensland surrounded by world heritage rainforest, hills, creeks, the Mulgrave River, and all the flora and fauna that abound here. Our shallow freshwater creeks are refreshing to explore and, for deep water swimming and kayaking, it's only a five minute drive to Babinda Crossing. Hikers can explore our headlands or venture further to dedicated hiking trails including scaling the 922 metre high Walsh's Pyramid that's only a ten minute drive away. Birdwatchers are spoiled for choice day and night, beautiful insects are in abundance, small native marsupials and reptiles are regularly seen, and the waterways are home to a variety of tropical fish as well as the occasional crocodile in the main river. We’re a great base location for exploring the area as we’re only 15 minutes to the town of Gordonvale and less than an hour to Cairns International Airport, the Great Barrier Reef and the Atherton Tablelands. Boaties can take the ten minute drive to Deeral Boat Ramp to launch their vessel and head down the Mulgrave River to Russel Heads and out to the Great Barrier Reef and islands.

Camping near Herberton guide

Overview

Proud of its history as the oldest existing town in the Atherton Tablelands, Herberton has heritage sites and tropical landscapes in equal measure, both easy to explore from a Herberton campground. Once you’ve learned about the town’s tin mining heritage at the Herberton Mining Museum and had a taste of 19th-century life at Herberton Historic Village, you’ll find several national parks within day-trip distance. Hit the trails at nearby Herberton Range National Park to hike, mountain bike, or horseback ride; go bush camping in the Baldy Mountain Forest Reserve; or drive the highest road in Queensland down to Tumoulin Forest Reserve. A little further, you can hike through UNESCO-listed Wet Tropics rainforest and camp by the riverside in Wooroonooran National Park. Campers can also seek out a quiet Hipcamp in the surrounding hinterland, camp along the Wild River, or check into Herberton’s holiday park, which has powered sites, pet-friendly campsites, and cabin rentals.
