    Our 20-acre exotic fruit farm backs onto World heritage rainforest and provides a relaxing base for which to explore the wet tropics south of Cairns. We have a beautiful freshwater swimming hole down the road, and also the Mulgrave River is very close if you want to do some fishing.The camping area is large, grassy and reasonably level, with space closer to the tree line, and space more out in the open. There is a firepit provided, and plenty of firewood around the place for you to help yourself to. We also welcome four-legged family members! We have had recent sightings of cassowary on our property so keep an eye out, you might just see one!We prefer self-contained campers, who have their own amenities, but we do have a toilet and shower up at the main house (about 50 metres away) you are welcome to use if needed. This is an unused bathroom downstairs so you will still have privacy. Access into the property is not suitable for large motorhomes. Entry will be too small for vehicles approx 8.5 metres long and 3.5 metres high.We grow exotic fruit on the property including limes, pomelos, mangosteens and more. When it's in season, you're welcome to sample some! Gordonvale is the nearest town, with a quiet historic charm, just 15 minutes drive away, while Cairns is around 25 minutes.

    The best camping near Kuranda National Park guide

    Overview

    About

    Immerse yourself in the ancient rainforests of Kuranda National Park, a treasure trove of natural beauty and adventure. Explore the scenic Black Mountain Road, marvel at the imposing Black Mountain, and venture along the historic Bump Track. Witness the majestic southern cassowary and the elusive Lumholtz's tree-kangaroo in their natural habitat, and embrace the thrill of mountain biking through this World Heritage-listed wonderland.

    When to go

    The ideal time to visit Kuranda National Park is during the cooler, drier months from May to September. Enjoy warm weather with reduced humidity and comfortable temperatures around 26°C. The wet season, from December to April, brings heavy rainfall and potential cyclones, making some areas inaccessible.

    Know before you go

    • Check park alerts for temporary closures due to weather events or maintenance.
    • Stay on designated tracks to protect the environment and ensure your safety.
    • Be prepared for the tropical climate with water, sun protection, and insect repellent.
    • Remember, domestic animals are not permitted in the park.
    • Respect the habitat of the southern cassowary and other wildlife by keeping a safe distance.
