Babinda Rest Area is a free campsite situated on the banks of Babinda Creek in Far North Queensland, roughly 550 metres southeast of Babinda township.

The site offers a mix of grassy and sealed or gravel surfaces for setting up camp, with good shade throughout. Facilities include clean, spacious amenity blocks with hot coin-operated showers, toilets, potable drinking water, a dump point, and BBQs.

The adjacent Babinda Creek is clear and shallow, making it a popular spot to cool off. At night, resident fireflies can put on a natural light show. Generators are permitted between 7am and 9pm.

The site is free to use, though donations toward maintenance are appreciated and can be left near the amenities block. As a well-known and popular free camp, arriving early is advisable to secure a good spot.
