We had a lovely stay at the River Rach and will most certainly be back again. An ideal little escape from the rat race, this spot does not disappoint!

Best site !!
Tent · Group trip
Such a beautiful spot and kind people!! This camp is perfect. It's spacious for you and friends, just about 30min from cairns city, right next to a river and doesn't require 4wd so anyone can enjoy. We really loved our stay here and meeting Glen and the dogs was a huge highlight, great people and a great spot. We will be coming back many times. Thank you and see you next time!

#1 camping spot
10 ft travel trailer · Group trip
My family absolutely loved our 3 night stay at River Camp! Great communication and easy to find the property. On our arrival Charlie greeted us then hopped on the ATV with dogs in tow to lead us down to the campsite, brought down firewood that we had pre-paid for and a fire pit for us to use, and explained everything about the area including what wildlife to look out for etc. After work Glen and beautiful Ellie came down to say hello and have a yarn, offering more interesting information about the area. The site was immaculate and exactly as described in the listing, private with nice flat grassy areas to set up our camper trailer and swag overlooking the flowing creek. Such a great spot, close to home (Cairns) yet we felt like we were a million miles away. The only downside was the march flies which, as locals, we know are around at this time of the year, but we just headed to the creek to float in the water when they started and enjoyed the kayaks, tubes and swimming. We have done 4 camping trips to different locations in the last 6 months and this one definitely ranks #1 on the top of the list. Thank you Glen and family for making us feel so welcome, we will definitely back again soon!

Magical spot
Tent
Beautiful camping spot! The Glen was an absolute legend of a host and was so helpful and friendly really enjoyed meeting him and his family who came down to say hello. The place is very peaceful, and waking up to the birds and having a cold dip in the river was magical. Thank you, would definitely stay again if I’m up that way

Peaceful Get away

My partner & I had a nice short stay at this Camp site. We woke so wildlife roaming around & star gazing during the night with many fireflies!! Glen was flexible, understanding & kind about arrangements with the booking which is hard to find late at night (understandable) so that made the experience so kmuch better. Thank you We will be returning in the future :) 🌌
