Lake Eacham Tourist Park

Lake Eacham Tourist Park sits right near the crater lake in Queensland’s Atherton Tablelands. It’s a proper tourist park with cabins, powered sites for caravans, and tent spots — so it’s well set up if you want more than just a patch of dirt.

The spots can get busy in the warmer months, so book ahead if you’re planning a weekend or school holidays. Facilities include a camp kitchen and clean amenities, though don’t expect anything flash. The lake itself is good for a swim, but watch out for the usual flies around dawn and dusk.
