Just over an hour from Cairns, Atherton is a subtropical paradise surrounded by wildlife, waterfalls, and natural wonders, as well as plenty of great caravan camping sites. Especially popular during the cooler, dryer winter months (April to October), options for caravan camping in Atherton range from pet-friendly caravan parks to relaxed lakeside campgrounds and wilderness camping in national parks. Fully set up for caravan camping in the tropical weather, many Atherton caravan parks have powered sites with swimming pools and even air-conditioned cabins, in case you feel like taking a break. Caravan campers looking to disconnect from the world and get away from it all also won’t be disappointed, with some caravan campsites around Atherton offering tropical retreat-style getaways in the jungle. Atherton itself is also well set up for caravan campers, with a 24-hour dumping point as well as camping shops to stock up on any last-minute supplies.
