Grass Camping Sites
Our camping site is nestled within the rainforest along the banks of the crystal clear Tea Tree Creek.
There is a large fire pit in the centre of the grass area with a couple of shelters to keep you out of the weather.
The towering trees provide a nice balance of sun and shade while the sounds of birds and creek create a serene atmosphere.
The fully stocked camp kitchen and undercover dining area has everything you could need including a pizza oven and a charging station to charge your phones.
Hot rainforest showers, flushing toilets and our massive swimming hole are close by.
We sell firewood or feel free to bring your own and enjoy chatting with other campers around the communal fire pit.
With easy access to nearby hiking trails, waterfalls, and swimming holes, our rainforest setting is the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable camping experience in Finch Hatton Gorge.
