4 weeks agoStayed at this caravan park, it was 3 years ago I should add. I hired a cabin, upon entering I was overwhelmed by how disgusting the floors were, they definitely hadn't been cleaned in at least 3 plus months. The 3 nights I stayed there I made sure to wear my shoes at all times, the cabin was grimey and knew straight away the only thing that was cleaned were the sheets. It was a pathetic place,, no I don't recommend it

a month agoWe absolutely love it at Lake Placid Rainforest Retreat. This smaller sized caravan park is peaceful and well kept. The staff in the office are friendly, helpful and always up for a chat. The park is one of the best maintained and clean parks we have been to whilst on our trip around Australia. A short drive to Redlynch or Smithfield for shopping makes it a great location and only 20 mins drive to Cairns. Highly recommended!

4 months agoGreat place to stay. Rooms need a little more up keep. But I'd still go back there. I didn't give service any stars only because I've not needed any. So cannot rate. Much nicer than staying in the city.

6 months agoGreat place to stay. We were extremely lucky to get a 3 night stay during the school holidays, and we were booking on the road as we went. Our caravan site was spacious and tucked up the back corner of the park. The staff were friendly and helpful Helped get us onto our site as it was a bit tricky. Amenities are a little dated but very clean, as is the whole park. Nestled up to the rainforest. Definitely recommend this park
