Ingenia Holidays Cairns Coconut

336 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents10 acres · Cairns, QLD
Few holiday resorts compare in popularity to our award-winning BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Cairns Coconut in Tropical North Queensland. In fact, if you looked up the definition of ‘kid’s paradise’, you’re likely to see a description of BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Cairns Coconut. Set just seven-minute drive from Cairns’ CBD, Cairns Coconut is an 11-hectare landscaped tropical oasis that holds its own against Cairns’ popular visitor attractions – the Great Barrier Reef, Wet Tropics Rainforest, and Atherton Tablelands. Accommodation comes in a few shapes and sizes – with cabins, condos, villas, caravan sites, and camping grounds available – all with the same access to the facilities that earned Ingenia Holidays Cairns Coconut its gold medal in the Queensland Tourism Awards (2019). Sure, World Heritage-listed icons might lure you out of the park’s surroundings but you can expect to walk away with holiday memories of what’s inside the park’s gates too; between the two swimming pools, slides, splash park, and pedal cars. If timing your visit for school holidays, be sure to call ahead to find out what activities are planned in-park – so parents can have some well-earned downtime and kids can burn off energy. *only sites are available for pet bookings* Please note: We are unable to accommodate boat, trailer, or van storage within the park.

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.
