Camping is allowed on some council reserves throughout the year.
48 Hour stops are permitted only at Rifle Creek Rest Area, Mt Molloy for a gold coin donation. There are cold showers, toilets, tables, rubbish bins and a dump point. Pets are allowed.

Council welcomes RV travellers to the Mareeba Shire and provides RV dump points and water refill stations at the following locations:
Dump Points:

Water refill:
Mareeba – Doyle Street, Mareeba

As there are restrictions on free camps in the Port Douglas area, this is the nearest cheap campsite. The site is just off the highway so is not quiet and you are likely to be sharing with other caravanners.
