Discover beautiful rainforests and open pastures at Scrubby Creek Trevethan Falls, a very special property just 30 minutes from Cooktown. We offer various grass and bush sites spread out over 160 acres, each peaceful and secluded, within walking distance of amazing natural waterfalls, the clear-running creek dotted with swimming holes, as well as established hiking trails. There is a variety of bird life and wildlife. Trevethan Falls is just a short walk away. Finish the day around your open campfire. You cut or collect your wood from around the property just contact your host. The property has had changes to 3 sites which happened on December the 17th 2023 at around 6am in the Morning we were awoken to the sounds of timber and dirt hitting the house and in a matter of 2 hrs sites 1 /2 and 3 were totally destroyed and the Trevethan Creek was directed through our property, This event was a Landslide from the top of the Moutain which went through the Trevethan Falls and the trees and dirt got caught up in a bottle neck down from the falls. We already had 3 .5 Meters of rain in 4 days! the bottle neck broke out at 6 am hitting us like a freight train and the rest is a good story to tell around a fireplace. We are working hard to clean up sites 1 /2 and 3 which I can see results. Site 1 is open and is very good with water running by the site/ Site 2 is open and we are currently doing work on the new site 2 / Site 3 is currently moved until we clean up the old site. We have a new Site which is Site7 on the creek and very private and Site 4 on the dam and Sites 5 and 6 are bush camps and are very Private. We are hoping to see the tree Kangaroos coming back as well which are good viewing from Midnight on wards to 3 am. Please come and stay we have more sites planed for the future. Please be sure to read the descriptions carefully Pets are welcome but must be kept on a lead at all times. There is also a hobby farm in operation on the property, so you may hear and see the workings of the farm as you explore. We are confident that once you discover this place, you'll return time and time again.

Site 2 - Scrubby Creekside
This is a review for Site 1 Enjoyed 3 peaceful nights in a ground tent right near the creek on this large site which has plenty of sun or shade. Still plenty of scars from the flooding of Cyclone Jasper which will take a long time to recover but it is still a lovely place to camp. Good communication and easy to follow directions would recommend.

Ricky and Tika have a beautiful spot in rainforest and bush paradise. Very private and tranquil - we loved our stay at Site 7 near the creek. Highly recommend!

Beautiful big location right on the river and a nice hike to the Falls from camp 1. Heaps of firewood nearby. Easy and simple instructions.

Site 3 - Scrubby Creekside
Back to nature Camping.
We had a fantastic stay with Ricky and Tika. Due to the flooding in December there was roadworks happening, however the directions to the property were very clear. Ricky was a amazing host, and went above and beyond to meet any of our requests. Ricky is in the middle of flood clean up so there is some debris along the creek. The site was large, clean and quite with access to the creek. The trek to the falls was not too difficult. Thank you Ricky & Tika we will be back.
