Information

4WD camping area on the banks of Five Mile Creek providing lush and croc safe swimming, hiking and nature retreat.$10 pp/night donation for campers. Call ahead to arrange your visit access to Butterfly Valley which is private property. See website for details. Access to the front gate of the property is suitable for all vehicles but the short access track down to the creekside camping area is very narrow and winding with rocky creek crossings and trees to negotiate - 4WD only and if towing, you will need to discuss which sites are accessible with the owner before venturing on your own so make sure you call ahead before arriving. Campers are required to be self sufficient as there are no facilities at the camp area other than fire rings. Camper trailers are permitted but the winding tracks with protruding trees will still make access tricky but only for a few hundred metres so its better suited to tents, swags, and roof top tents.Access to walking tracks and swimming holes on the property is permitted for campers with payment of a day use fee. This fee is waived for guests in cabins/homestead.Aptly named Butterfly valley with an abundance of Ulysses, Blue Triangle, Cairns Birdwing, plus cassowaries, geckos, goannas.
