Free council campground beside the famous Babinda Boulders swimming hole, 60km south of Cairns, run by Cairns Regional Council. Unpowered sites with toilets and cold showers; maximum stay is 72 hours and you cannot return within 14 days. Swim only in the signed designated pool - the downstream chutes have claimed lives.
