4 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

2 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.

4 months agoFabulous location surrounded by palms. Beautiful pool area and outdoor eatery/bar. Happy hour from 4 to 6 was awesome. $5 beer and wine and 2 cocktails for $25. Steak sandwich and chips for $15, so delish. Clean ablutions and great laundry. Stayed a few nights whilst touring Qld. The staff were awesome, very friendly and apologetic for a power outage that was not even their fault (they emailed us beforehand to let us know) Absolutely recommend this caravan park. LOVED IT

a month agoLake placid rainforest retreat is one of the best caravan parks we have stayed at. It's like being in a rainforest with all the amazing birds and butterflies and beautiful well looked after gardens. The sites are well designed so that you can get maximum privacy, all within close reach to either amenities blocks. The pool is beautiful, the staff are so friendly and helpful. The location is great, 2 major shopping centres close and 10 mins to the city by car. Top notch park, 10/10.

3 months agoStayed here for a week in our caravan on a great site. Very neat, clean, well run park. Great cafe/bar with happy hour and yummo food. Not far to shops and local tourist attractions. 20 mins from Cairns centre. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks
