Welcome to Cooktown Caravan Park - Your Home Away From Home
Cooktown Caravan Park has been a family-owned and operated destination since 2001, offering visitors a tranquil retreat nestled within five acres of natural bushland at the foothills of Mt Cook. Our park combines the charm of a small-town atmosphere with modern amenities, providing shaded campsites, powered and unpowered options, and fully self-contained cabins for families or groups. With over two decades of experience, we pride ourselves on delivering personalized service, ensuring guests enjoy the region's natural beauty without the nuisance of sandflies. Our facilities include a sparkling swimming pool, free WiFi, a state-of-the-art camp kitchen, and laundry services, while our knowledgeable team offers tailored advice on local fishing spots, historic landmarks, and scenic drives.Located just 1km from Cooktown's town centre, we serve as the perfect base for exploring Queensland's coastal and cultural treasures, from the coloured sands of Elim Beach to the James Cook Museum. Our commitment to maintaining a welcoming environment extends to accommodating boats and pets (in designated areas), alongside providing courtesy transport from local clubs. Whether you're seeking adventure or relaxation, our park promises a comfortable stay rooted in genuine hospitality and a deep understanding of the region's unique offerings.

Fabulous place to stay. The camp kitchen is awesome. The owners are extremely helpful and went above and beyond when my car wouldn't start. We are from Cairns and always stay here when we travel north. Highly recommend

The male owner is not a nice man. Also he creeped me out asking me to show him what outfits I would be wearing for a festival. Solo female travellers I wouldnt recommend staying here. I had my partner with me and he was still trying to creep
