Wallaman Falls Campground - QLD

This campground located in the Girringun National Park. Online booking and payment is required however you can select your own site. This campground does not permit generators or dogs.The camp is not within walking distance of the Wallaman Falls but you can drive and park at the day use area to visit the falls either by visiting lookouts from the top or a 4km challenging return hike to the bottom (see nearby places listing). Wallaman Falls is the longest single-drop waterfall in Australia.At the campground there is a short, easy rainforest walk to some cascades and safe swimming holes - these are in fact the headwaters of Wallaman Falls on Stony Creek.The campground is grassy but is best suited to tent- based campers, and vehicle-based campers with roof top tents, campervans or motorhomes although there a few spots where small camper trailers will be fine but NOT for caravans. The road in is not suitable for long trailers and the sites are too small.Around the camp you can expect to see northern long-nosed bandicoots and red-legged pademelon. Whilst platypus, water dragons and saw-backed turtles inhabit the rock pools. One toilet block, cold shower and scattered woodfired bbqs, and picnic shelters with water taps. No electric bbqs in the shelters.How to get there: The falls are 48km west of Ingham. The road climbs steeply up the range but is sealed all the way. Cassowaries are sometimes seen in the rainforest sections, so please drive carefully. Campers must obtain an e-camping permit and pay their camping fees before arriving at the camping area.
