NRMA Cairns Holiday Park

NRMA Cairns Holiday Park sits a few minutes’ drive from the city centre, making it handy if you want to be close but not right in the middle of the bustle. The park offers powered sites for caravans and campers, plus cabins if you’re after something a bit easier than pitching a tent. It’s not flash, but it gets the job done.

Facilities are pretty standard – a pool, BBQ areas, and clean amenities that get the job done without fuss. It’s a practical base if you’re heading out to the Great Barrier Reef or planning to explore the Tablelands. Just note it can get busy in peak season, so book ahead through their website.
