Davies Creek Campground

Davies Creek Campground sits within Davies Creek and Dinden National Parks on the eastern edge of the Atherton Tableland, roughly 53 km from Cairns via Davies Creek Road.

The surrounding landscape is defined by granite outcrops, boulder-strewn creek banks, open eucalypt forest, and vine forest, with Davies Creek Falls — a 75-metre cascade over massive granite boulders — among the area's highlights.

The campground is divided into two areas. The Lower camping area is walk-in only, with eight designated tent and swag sites adjacent to the day-use area, toilets, and picnic benches.

The Upper camping area also offers eight numbered sites scattered along a stretch of Davies Creek in tall open forest, accessible by vehicle; four-wheel-drive or high-clearance vehicles are recommended, and the road is not suitable for caravans or large motorhomes.

Each pair of upper sites shares a long-drop toilet. Walkers can explore trails ranging from the short 1. 1 km Davies Creek Falls circuit to the strenuous 12. 3 km Kahlpahlim Rock circuit.

Wildlife in the area includes honeyeaters, lace monitors, and the endangered northern bettong.
