Campervan and RV Rental in Cairns

Cairns is a coastal city in Queensland, situated in northeastern Australia. Campervan or RV rental in Cairns gives you a lot of options. You can experience the Great Barrier Reef and tropical rainforests to the north or take a long campervan road trip down the Gold Coast to reach cities like Brisbane, Sydney, or Melbourne.

Cairns National Parks

The region has some of the best national parks in the world. A campervan or RV rental is an excellent way to access these incredible sights.

Kuranda National Park is a short trip from Cairns. It's easily accessible when you rent an RV or campervan. Some highlights are spectacular eucalyptus forests, great walks, and incredible wildlife like koalas and kangaroos.

Daintree National Park is about 90 mins campervan drive north of Cairns. The park contains the world's oldest rainforest. Some of the best activities are seeing Alexandra Lookout, Cape Tribulation, or the crocodiles in Daintree River. 

Fitzroy National Park is about 12 miles (20 km) off the coast. It's a fantastic choice for a day trip. You can park your campervan or RV rental in the car park and access the island by ferry. There is a lot to do in Fitzroy, from hiking and snorkeling to just enjoying the incredible paradise of Nudey Beach.

Cairns Coastline, Lakes, and Rivers

Cairns is full of water attractions you can reach by campervan or RV rental. Lake Eacham, a tranquil blue lake set inside a tropical rainforest, is unmissable. Close by, you can also experience Lake Barrine and its exquisite walks and flora and fauna.

There are also many notable rivers in the area. O'Brien's Creek, near Mount Surprise, is home to stunning views and is a popular tourist destination for finding topaz gems. If you like something more energetic, Barron River provides Rapid Boarding and river day trips.

When it comes to the coastline, it doesn't get any more beautiful than the Great Barrier Reef — one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Snorkeling, diving, and day trips are all available in this iconic attraction.

Campgrounds Near Cairns

When you rent a campervan or RV in Cairns, you need good quality campgrounds near all the stunning attractions.

North of Cairns, along the coast, you can find Wonga Beach Caravan Park. It's got all the facilities you need for a comfortable campervan stay, plus B.B.Q. areas and even fishing.

BIG4 Whitsundays Tropical Eco Resort is near Conway National Park and the Whitsundays Islands. WiFi, a swimming pool, a kids' play park, and many activities like fishing and biking made this a premier campervan and RV destination.

Tropic Breeze Caravan Park is an excellent spot if you are visiting either Daintree National Park or Mount Lewis National Park. The owners are friendly, it's close to the town and the marina, and the facilities are fantastic. It's excellent value for money, which makes it a popular spot. So don't forget to book in advance if you want to roll up your campervan or RV rental from Cairns.
