We are wildlife carers and have turned our property into a wildlife reserve for the animals. There is wildlife including wallabies (agile and betongs), brush tail possums and birds. A night viewing of possums and wallabies may be available. Please contact hosts to arrange this viewing. Enjoy the sunsets as you relax around the campfire. The property is surrounded by various nature reserves and attractions in the area within a 30 minute drive.(Granite Gorge Nature park, Davis creek national park and Emerald creek falls) We have three separate sites secluded from each other. One site accommodates large recreational vehicles, and is drive through, with farmland and hill views. The other two sites are situated by the creek. Please contact us before booking to discuss which site is best for your vehicle and camping set up.  This campsite suits self-contained campers who bring their own camping toilet/shower, and drinking water supply. Your beloved pooch is most welcome to join you but required to remain within your campsite and must be restrained during the night due to the wildlife. If you would like to stay longer, we are happy to offer you a discount code (minimum 4 nights) - please contact us prior to booking. Children aged 13 years and under camp for free. Senior discounts available.

Site 3 Wally's Waterhole
I loved this little spot on Phil and Janette's property. The place is so quiet and peaceful, and the creek and surrounding trees are gorgeous. If you love bird watching this a nice spot.

Site 3 Wally's Waterhole
Relaxing & Secluded Creek Campsite
A truly special and secluded location on a lovely property just a short trip from Cairns. Running creek by the campsite with a large open space to set up. Great for the dog to run around. Phil and Janette are lovely people and gave us a great experience of feeding possums and betongs at night. Definitely will be back.

This is the second time we stayed here and we already booked the next stay. This camp site is highly recommended if you want to enjoy some peace and quiet just an hour's drive from Cairns

Site 3 Wally's Waterhole
Wonderful spot and hosts
Wonderful spot! We stayed at site 3 and it was a perfect camping area. Our kids loved seeing the animals at night and want to come back and visit Sparkle. The hosts are wonderful the $10 fire wood is worth it.
