Is there Free Camping around Cooktown.
« on: July 25, 2016, 12:40:47 PM »
Hi all,
We are off to the Cape in 2017 (exactly 12 months away). Just hoping someone might know of a great place to stay (preferably free) near Cooktown. My bro-in-law has a family of 8 (with landcruiser) and they find it hard to keep costs down when Caravan Parks charge per person. We will have 4 vehicles towing camper trailers and the Fam of 8 also has a large mumma-firetruck tent.
TIA

The only free one we found was just outside Cooktown at Archer Point, beautiful spot on the coast, but it can get busy.  Endeavor River Escape is a great place, bush like camping with toilets and showers.  I think it was $25 a night when we stayed there last month.  Kevin
