Camping in the Daintree

Camping in the Daintree National park is quite restricted, and there is only one legal campsite within the park, and the other places are on privately owned land within or near the park.
Camping in the Daintree is available at several camp grounds, most backpackers hostels have some space for campers, and there are a few private campgrounds, two are located near or right on unspoilt Myall Beach and one in a rainforest setting at the Jungle Lodge.
There is also a campground for the campers that don't mind roughing it a bit at Noah Beach, this one is owned by National Parks and there are no showers or other facilities here, only toilets.
Here are a few choices first that can quickly and easily be booked online;

Camping near Cape Tribulation is also available at the magnificently located National Parks Noah Beach campground, information below is sourced from www.epa.qld.gov.au:

The National Parks Noah Beach campground is situated 8km south of Cape Tribulation and has 17 campsites. It does not cater for caravans or larger campervans as they will not fit in the sites. The camping area may be closed after heavy rain and throughout the wet season. Fifty metres from the beach, it is beneath the forest canopy, giving protection from both the sea breeze and the harsh sun. Camping permits are required and fees apply. The maximum stay is seven nights.

Some sites are for tents only, while others are specifically designed for campervans. Toilets and tap water are provided but tap water should be boiled prior to consumption. The toilet is a bio-cycle system and unsuitable for disposal of foreign material or waste from chemical disposal units. No fires are permitted so bring a fuel stove for cooking. All rubbish must be removed. Biting insects may be present so remember to bring insect repellent. The forest is very significant so please do not damage any vegetation.

Noah Creek is a short 1km walk to the south along the beach from the campground. Crocodiles may be present, so stay away from the water's edge at all times.

Lace monitors (goannas) are often seen patrolling the campground for food scraps. Do not feed these or any other native animals, and keep food and rubbish secure on the goanna poles provided. Feeding wildlife can cause unnatural population increases, illness and aggressive behaviour.
