Lake Placid Rainforest Retreat

We are currently staying at Lake Placid Rainforest Retreat and I cannot speak highly enough of this park and its staff. We first stayed here for a few nights on our way up to the cape. We were those disorganised travellers who arrive in town in peak season in the late afternoon with no accomodation booked. The staff in the park bent over backwards to move things around to fit us in. This time around I was airlifted from cape York to cairns after experiencing a medical emergency. My mum had flown from Perth and my partner and friends needed a place to base themselves so they could be with me in hospital. Again, the staff went well out of their way to accomodate us. We have been here nearly 3 weeks this time and I couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to recover. The staff have been so compassionate, generous and attentive. The amenities cannot be faulted. There is a beautiful pool area with BBQs and a camp kitchen that is kept extremely clean. The toilets and showers are beautifully clean with new upgrades to the showers. My mum stayed in a bungalow cabin with all you need for a comfortable stay. Housekeeping was on point! The park itself is lovely. Set below rainforest mountains across the road from a lovely running river. The caravan sites are grassy and spacious and gardens are kept beautifully. It even has a delightful little cafe that serves a mean smashed avo and great coffee! With close access to shops, doctors and tourist attractions such as white water rafting, the skyrail, a scenic train through the mountains to the waterfalls and lovely walking trails it’s an ideal base to explore Cairns. I honestly could not fault this place. Thank you Lake Placid Rainforest Retreat ❤️‍🩹

Thank you for making our stay enjoyable. The park is lovely and clean along with the facilities. The camp kitchen is very well maintained and pool area. Can’t fault it. We will definitely be back!!

We don't often spend money and stay at caravan parks so really love when a park exceeds expectations. Lake Placid Rainforest Retreat certainly did. The staff were all friendly and helpful, the sites were generous and the amenities were spotless and well cared for. The vibe in the camp was really lovely and relaxing. We loved the location, close to The Armour and Artillery Museum, Barron Falls, Smithfield shopping, Kuranda and the northern beaches. It was also an easy day trip to Mossman Gorge. Thank you.

What a great park . The amenities block and kitchen was spotlessly clean. The lady in the office was very warm and welcoming. We’ll definitely stay again when we’re in the area.

My family from USA and myself booked 3 cabins recently. We really enjoyed the beautiful serene location nestled in the rainforest with the regular cheeky bush Turkey visits to the cabins. The pool area and bbq facilities were great for our needs. Large shopping centre only a few klms away and beaches a short drive north. Thanks for your friendly service.

It's a very nice park and the lady behind the counter was super friendly. One of the people I was with bought some food from the cafe and said it was great as well.

The best we've stayed at so far with 7 weeks behind us. Good size sites and great facilities.

This is one of the quietest parks we have stayed in and very well kept. Pool is great and the camp kitchen is very good with ample room and tables for sitting with family. Loved our 4 nights stay
