Highland Views
2 sites · RVs, Tents7 acres · Julatten, QLD
Bring your tent, car, caravan or motor home...... there is plenty of room! Highland Views is located in a sleepy little rural area at the end of a road, so there is no through traffic and quite private.
There is an abundance of wild life wandering through from the rainforest to the neighboring cattle property including a huge range of birds, numerous wallaby's, and the occasional cassowary.
I do have a resident cow on the property. Stewie is extremely friendly and will come to the fence for a pat and will love you even more if you feed him a slice of bread or a carrot. He has no spacial awareness though, so please don’t enter his paddock….. it is pretty scary having a 600kg “puppy” with very big horns bounding toward you wanting to play!
The water is tank/bore which is fine for drinking and I am happy for you to fill your water tanks during your stay but I do ask that you use it sparingly…….. no washing of vehicles or vans please 🙏
With only 2 sites, you will absolutely not be crowded in. There are no toilet or shower facilities available so you will need to be fully self contained.
This is the perfect base to explore all that the Daintree, Port Douglas and Atherton Tablelands areas have on offer.
Julatten Hotel is a great spot for a cold drink and a lovely meal, with live music on the weekends. 9 Mile Store is 2km from your site and has fuel, some groceries items and takeaway food if you don’t feel like cooking. Mossman is only 18km away for most other supplies and services.

Barron River Getaway at Kuranda
4 sites · RVs, Tents50 acres · Kuranda, QLD
Surrounded by 40,000 acres of world heritage rainforest,
15 minutes outside the village of Kuranda, you will camp next to the mighty Barron River.
This place is totally private and
you have access to a sandy beach where swimming is safe and completely secluded. It's a great place
for kayaking and stand up paddle boarding. There is a 360 degree view from the property, with nothing made by man in the way.
When we purchased this property 37 years ago and built our unique home, it was
denuded cattle land, and now we are surrounded by the most beautiful rainforest.
We planted approximately 8000 trees.!
We have 4 sites available all close to the river, and can provide water as well as access to our toilet. We are agile wallaby carers, with the rescued joeys being released back into the forest from here. After a day of kayaking or hiking or exploring the area we also offer a sunset massage (as available ) by a local masseuse who lives on the property. Watch the stars in the night sky at your own campfire.
