Birds on Barron is a campground situated on the Barron River near Mareeba, north Queensland, offering a natural riverside setting within easy reach of Cairns.

The site features swimming holes along the river, with varying depths to suit different ages and abilities — deeper holes at Horn Valley and shallower areas elsewhere on the property.

The river attracts diverse birdlife, and guests have caught Cherabin (Red Claw crayfish) and fish from the water. Kayaking is also popular here. The cooler, less humid conditions provide a welcome contrast to coastal Cairns.

Campers should note the site operates on a pack-in, pack-out basis with no permanent toilet facilities, and the mowed camping area has a rough, stemmy ground surface rather than soft grass, so footwear is recommended.
