The Boulders
The Boulders
The Boulders campground sits alongside Babinda Creek within the Boulders Scenic Reserve, managed by the Cairns Regional Council and adjacent to Wooroonooran National Park in far north Queensland, roughly 6 kilometres from the town of Babinda via sealed road.
The campground is a short walk from the reserve's famous swimming hole, where clear, cool water flows between massive granite boulders fed by streams descending from Mount Bartle Frere, Queensland's highest peak.
Facilities include toilets, cold showers, gas BBQs, sheltered picnic tables, and a playground near the main car park, with parking suitable for cars, caravans, and motorhomes.
From the reserve, visitors can tackle an easy 2-kilometre rainforest walk to lookouts above the boulder formations and waterfalls, or set out on the longer 19-kilometre Goldfield walking track.
Babinda is one of the wettest towns in Australia, so campers should be prepared for heavy rainfall, particularly between November and April.
