Two secluded sites available. Campers MUST be pre-booked before arrival onsite.
It is becoming increasingly more difficult to find a clean and private location to experience nature. As such, we have decided to allow bush campers on our property. Nestled into two of our favourite parts of the property, our two bush camps offer privacy and seclusion you won’t find elsewhere. The sites are true to bush camp style. i.e. You bring it in: you take it out. There are a number of small billabongs at Birder’s Billabong and Rifle Creek is a pleasant short walk from both camps.
The sites come with campfire pits so you can enjoy the wonders of cooking on an open fire and roasting marshmallows with family or friends. Stargazing, hiking, swimming, platypus and bird watching are some of the activities you can enjoy in this quiet space. Our property is a wildlife refuge, so strictly no dogs or cats.
Where are we? Sheoak Ridge Nature Reserve is located an easy 1.5hr drive north west of Cairns and 45 mins drive from Port Douglas, Mareeba & Mossman in far north Queensland. We are on a rural property about 15mins drive from the small township of Mount Molloy (you go right past us if you are on your way to Cooktown or Cape York). Our property is private, so all guests must contact us before arrival. We will send you a map with directions once you’ve contacted us in person. The access road to Sheoak Ridge is a dirt road that is suitable for 2WD vehicles. As we have a lot of wildlife in our area and our property is a designated Wildlife Refuge, please drive this road slowly and carefully. Remember, wildlife has right of way!
Please be sure to read our conditions for use before contacting us. We will also send you a copy of our trail map before or upon your arrival, so you can plan some walks while you are here. Anyone interested in birding will particularly love this camp site, as the bird life on the property is extremely diverse.
If you would like to camp at Sheoak Ridge please send us a short email telling us a little about yourself. That way you won’t be a complete stranger when you arrive.
We only invite low impact campers onsite. Absolutely no pets – not negotiable. Please contact Claire and Marcus via this website to inquire about availability, or request more info. Please don’t just turn up as we may have campers on site already or booked in. Arrival time is strictly between 12noon and 5pm as we value our native wildlife. We are listed on hipcamp under “birder’s billabong” for a few months of the year.
