A million stars review for this place.
I made a mistake with the booking date, and they helped me keep my reservation. When I noticed the error, we called to fix it, and the response was so fast that it really relieved us.
The place is incredibly well equipped: the bathrooms were clean and in order, the kitchen was super well equipped, and the spaces are big and comfortable. There are fans, and the caretaker is available 24/7.
I really recommend this place.

We had a really great stay here. The host was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. When we were going to grill, he not only came over to help us get everything ready, but he also sat with us while we grilled and we had a wonderful conversation. He even let us borrow some of his own kitchen equipment when we were missing a few things. Small gestures like that truly make a big difference.

A real gem! Quiet and clean, and the facilities and price can’t be beat! The birds and wildlife up there were incredible! It also got nice and cool in the evening, which was a huge relief after sleeping near Cairns for a couple weeks.
A little tip- there *is* plenty of space…. But if you want flat and shady ground (near the back or side), and don’t want to cram in next to someone—come early. If that’s not possible though, and you can stay another night, set up bare bones the first nightand wait until the next morning. A ton of people left pretty early and I could move to a prime location if I wanted.
Les was also great. Very helpful and friendly.

Camp Kuna exceeded my expectations in every way. As a local, I'm always searching for quality camping spots, and this one definitely earned a place on my return list.
The facilities were impressively well-maintained and spotlessly clean. The kitchen came equipped with all the essentials you'd need, which made meal prep a breeze. I particularly loved the fire pits – they were thoughtfully designed and added the perfect ambiance to our evenings.
The campground offers plenty of shady spots, which is a huge plus for staying comfortable during the day. The location is ideal, with just a short, easy walk down to the river. It's close enough to be convenient but far enough to feel like you're truly escaping into nature.
Even though I live nearby, I'd absolutely camp here again. It's the perfect balance of comfort and outdoor experience. Highly recommended for both locals looking for a quick getaway and travelers passing through the area.

Overview
About
Cania Gorge National Park invites adventurers to explore its ancient sandstone landscapes and diverse ecosystems. With activities ranging from bird watching to uncovering the secrets of Aboriginal art, the park offers a unique journey through nature. The park's campgrounds provide a serene base to experience the nocturnal wildlife and the echoing calls of native birds amid the rugged beauty of Central Queensland.
When to go
The best time to visit Cania Gorge National Park is during the cooler months of April to September. During this period, the climate is more temperate, making it ideal for hiking and wildlife spotting. The wet season, from December to March, can be less comfortable due to higher temperatures and the potential for flooding.

- Ensure you have a valid permit if required for certain activities within the park.
- Accessibility varies across the park, so plan according to your needs.
- Domestic animals are not permitted, ensuring the protection of the park's wildlife.
