Caravanning and Camping
Discover the natural beauty of the Cassowary Coast while enjoying a stay in our scenic caravan and camping grounds, with breathtaking views of the ocean, river, and rainforest!
Where to Stay:
- Council-owned parks: Enjoy the comfort of our parks in Cowley Beach, Kurrimine Beach, Tully, Hull Heads, and the Garden Island campground.
- Privately managed council parks: Bingil Bay, Mission Beach, Etty Bay and Flying Fish Point.
- For additional options there are many other privately operated parks and camping areas across our region including those within National Parks. Please contact them directly for details.
We kindly ask that you use official caravanning and camping spots within the region. Please note that penalties may apply for unauthorised stopovers.
Care for our parks
Help us protect the Cassowary Coast’s natural beauty by following these simple guidelines:
- Respect Wildlife: Avoid disturbing plants and animals. Don't leave food out or feed wildlife.
- Pets: Dogs are welcome at most locations, except Garden Island. Please keep dogs on a lead at all times.
- Honor Indigenous Heritage: Admire cultural sites without touching, as they are irreplaceable.
- Preserve Historical Landmarks: Enjoy them, but do not damage.
- Fire Safety: Always fully extinguish your fire with water before leaving. Bring your own firewood.
- Leave No Trace: Take your rubbish with you and never bury it.
