24 - 25 August 2025
There are only three campsites at Rainforest Campground and Mick had already spent some time there birding, so he knew which one would be best for us. The sites are quite large but only one is listed as suitable for caravans as the other two have quite tricky entrances. We booked one of those two (as they were the only ones available) and Mick was confident that he would be able to manouvre onto the spot. We left Chilli Beach quite late and made a stop at Cooks Hut campground where we had lunch before the short drive to Rainforest Campground.

We set up - after a bit of an effort to get the camper onto the site - and Mick spent the rest of the afternoon out with binoculars and camera. Despite the location, there was no rain which made our overnighter without the awning much easier. Most visitors here are birders or those who appreciate the natural environment, while the "list tickers" head to Chilli Beach. We enjoyed our time at each location we stayed at, but prefer the quieter places.
Our next stop would be Weipa, which would mean quite a drive, so an early start in the morning.
