Birds On Barron RV Campground (CG)

Birds on Barron Guesthouses and Campground is situated on 100 acres on the beautiful Barron River just 8 km North of Mareeba and in close proximity to the Mareeba Wetlands and Golden Drop Winery.

They offer a clean, safe and comfortable haven for guests requiring a unique non-formal stay with spacious and private campsites. Powered sites are minimal and self-contained camping vehicles/vans are preferred. The property also offers some lovely safe swimming holes and freshwater fishing.

Amenities are available to campers at an added cost, there is a communal fire pit for guests to enjoy with plenty of wood to collect on the property. You are also welcome to explore the orchard which provides some tasty seasonal treats.

Birdlife is prolific with plenty of accessible country to explore. The Barron River boasts clear running water year-round which provides a great place to cool off on hot days. Horses and cattle share the paddocks, so it’s not uncommon to be visited by a curious horse while relaxing under your annexe and enjoying the afternoon breezes.

They also offer guest house style accommodation with well-equipped kitchen, bathroom and television areas that are shared with other guests, for those needing a break from the RV or if you want to meet up with friends and family who don’t have an RV.
