Granite Gorge nature park, located just out of Mareeba is well worth the visit. This delightful little camp is surrounded by a forest of eucalyptus trees and promises to be quiet, tranquil and nature at its best. The boulders at the gorge are a natural wonder formed billions of years ago by volcanic activity and offer panoramic views. These breath taking rocks stretch out for over a km with streams and swimming holes scattered throughout the area and several walking tracks to meander. For the animal lover, rock wallabies are plentiful and happy to be hand fed.
You can visit for a day trip or spend a few days of exploration and relaxation. The camp ground offers powered and non powered sites as well as cabins and safari tents to rent. There is a coffee shop, communal camp kitchen or you can cook up a damper on your camp fire. The amenities include a laundry and are clean and functional.

Granite Gorge is located southwest of Mareeba, turn off the Kennedy Highway onto Hansen Road, and follow the road signs to Granite Gorge. You will travel through about 14kms of sealed road and a small section (about 1kms) of good condition unsealed road.
