Caravan campers have options in Queensland's Tropical North.
Whether you're leaving your caravan to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef or to spot endangered cassowaries in Daintree National Park, or taking the Skyrail cable car or train to the rainforest village of Kuranda, Cairns offers plenty to do. Summer can be hot and humid, so head inland to the Atherton Tableland towns of Mareeba and Atherton, or north to the beaches of Palm Cove and Port Douglas. In the city, cool off in the man-made swimming lagoon on the Esplanade overlooking the Coral Sea or bike along the foreshore. Stock up on fresh produce at Rusty's Markets or time your winter visit to see the Indigenous Art Fair in July. Cairns' caravan parks and campgrounds offer modern facilities including powered sites, laundry facilities, and free wifi, and they're typically a great base for exploring north Queensland's rich natural heritage.
