This campsite is amazing! You are sleeping completely within the rainforest and is so magical. The staff were also nice. They also have live music sometimes on Saturdays and we sat by the fire-pit in the evening with a drink.

Great camp kitchen, clean toilets. Not much else you can ask for.

Great campsite 100% recommend.

Beautiful campsite.

Powered sites well spaced and surrounded by beautiful Daintree rainforest.

Nice, clean, simple facilities. Has all that you need.

Owners are SO friendly, welcoming and offered lots of local knowledge. Great price. Will be back.

Lovely campsite in the rainforest! Tamara was an absolute sweetheart and made us feel very welcome! We stayed for two nights as it was quiet and relaxing. Some bugs but you’ll get that everywhere in the rainforest. Facilities were decent, nothing special but at $30 for an unpowered site it’s the cheapest in the area. Had dinner at the restaurant one night, my schnitzel was delicious! Overall very happy and would stay again.

A lovely place to stay full of rustic charm. A little showing of age but very clean and comfortable. The owners a genuinely lovely, easy going people and made us feel very welcome. Bruno was flexible in changing out booking from camping site to cabin and went above and beyond to help us continue our holiday after a slight caravan issue. Dinner was great, best chips we have eaten in a long time. Will definitely be back!

This place was paradise. We found it to be a rare opportunity to enjoy a very real and unadulterated version of staying in the Daintree. The place is rustic and unpretentious, but I have to admit that we were also grateful for the delicious meals. We even experienced the rare appearance of a wild cassowary! The place is beautiful. The owner/operators are a really friendly family. We loved our stay and can't recommend it highly enough.

Spectacular surroundings and warm hospitality in an eco- friendly campground. We spent two nights here in a site wonderfully surrounded by tall rainforest trees. It was a short walk to the clean conveniences and there was ample hot water. The second night we dined in the small restaurant overlooking more rainforest. The food was good and very good value.

Good location, nice amenities

We stayed here for 1 night at a tent site.

We were impressed with the amenities such as the restrooms with nice showers and nice sink/mirrors.

The restaurant and shop were a plus and was nice to relax after a long day. We enjoyed the food!

The couple running the accommodation were absolutely lovely !!

It was a spontaneous stay but the place was just gorgeous.

Delicious meals too!

They even had an adventurous rainforest walking trail right out back.

Very cosy and family-friendly rainforest accommodation.

Tamara was a great host. The rooms are cosy and functional with good airconditioning. The restaurant has tasty food for reasonable prices and prompt service.

The lodge is quiet, has a playground and beautiful nature walks on site. Very family-friendly and highly recommended, especially with young kids.

There's no WiFi and mobile reception is not great. Luckily the nature provides plenty of entertainment!

As first-timers to campervanning in the Daintree, we could not have asked for a more idyllic place to pull up.

Quietly nestled in the rainforest itself, Daintree Siesta was the most calming camping spot we could ask for.

The site had full bathroom amenities included as well as a powered site option - all in all great value for money.

Both owners were approachable, personable and helpful, answering any and all of our questions. It was one of the highlight spots of our trip.
