Scenic trails, an ancient rainforest, and a reef make caravan camping near Mossman unbeatable.
Situated within the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, Mossman promises stunning scenery—and plenty of rain from November until April. A caravan park in town features powered sites, free wifi, and amenities blocks, while endless outdoor activities await in nearby Daintree National Park. The Mossman Gorge section is only 10 minutes from town, while the Cape Tribulation section is a 90-minute drive north. Wander through the 180 million-year-old rainforest, then head to the coast to visit the Great Barrier Reef. May to August provides clear visibility with the bonus of migrating whales. Stay at a beachside campsite or opt for a powered site nestled in the trees—either way, amenities like hot showers, toilets, water taps, and dump stations promise comfort and convenience. Mowbray National Park delivers more fun with mountain biking routes and horseback riding trails. While there is no camping within the park, caravanners can find holiday parks with bathrooms and BBQ facilities in nearby Port Douglas.
