Camped in a tent and Swag and it was very quiet, not being near any main roads. Facilities are very well maintained and clean. Playground for the kids, nice pool area. Next to a gorgeous walking track and creek. Only downside was no hot water for showers at 7.30 at night.

Perfect place to stay while in cairns! Nice and quiet. Clean amenities and good size grass with slab sites. $6 laundry coats. Gas bottle exchange and can book tourist tours from the office. Lovely view of the ranges and very close to Cascade falls. Definitely will come back!
