Surrounded by 40,000 acres of world heritage rainforest, 15 minutes outside the village of Kuranda, you will camp next to the mighty Barron River. This place is totally private and you have access to a sandy beach where swimming is safe and completely secluded. It's a great place for kayaking and stand up paddle boarding. There is a 360 degree view from the property, with nothing made by man in the way. When we purchased this property 37 years ago and built our unique home, it was denuded cattle land, and now we are surrounded by the most beautiful rainforest. We planted approximately 8000 trees.! We have 4 sites available all close to the river, and can provide water as well as access to our toilet. We are agile wallaby carers, with the rescued joeys being released back into the forest from here. After a day of kayaking or hiking or exploring the area we also offer a sunset massage (as available ) by a local masseuse who lives on the property. Watch the stars in the night sky at your own campfire.Surrounded by 40,000 acres of world heritage rainforest, 15 minutes outside the village of Kuranda, you will camp next to the mighty Barron River.  This place is totally private and you have access to a sandy beach where swimming is safe and completely secluded.

Barron River Getaway
We had a great 2 night getaway with our family at Judy & Don’s place. The grounds are beautiful overlooking the Baron, perfect spot for the kids to explore the river & surrounds. We brought our own kayaks but there are canoes and kayaks on site to use, swings in a big tree for the kids and plenty of space to run around. Judy & Don were lovely hosts & we will definitely be returning again in the future :)

Awesome entry thru cattle farm with wild deer and wallabies. Excellent well spaced sites, all with a great view of the river and well maintained property. Welcomed by the most gracious hosts, Judy and Don. Which was one of the highlights of our stay Canoes and kayaks are supplied if required. Will definitely be back to visit this piece of secluded paradise and worth the trip to meet Judy and Don.

Une expérience authentique !
Judy et Don sont des hôtes très chaleureux et accueillants. Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour dans leur propriété, au plus proche de la nature et des animaux en liberté (wallabies, daims, chevaux, …). L’endroit est apaisant et paradisiaque. Eau et électricité étaient disponibles, ce qui nous a permis de passer un agréable séjour dans notre van. Je recommande vivement cet endroit calme, authentique, loin des attractions touristiques de Kuranda. Nous avons également opté pour un massage au coucher du soleil chez Debbie, un moment magique de bien-être et de détente. Un grand merci à tous les trois pour cette échappée belle !

A great camping spot with views.
Wild life and quiet spaces abound.Our host Judy and Don were great and could not do enough for us. If you like river views and camp fires this is your place. One place you have to go to is La petit in Kuranda. Awsome.
