About Rainforest Gateway

A Family-Owned Country Retreat

Rainforest Gateway has been locally owned and operated for generations, welcoming travellers, campers and families with genuine care and warmth.

The park has grown from a small local hideaway into a much-loved stop for those exploring the Northern Rivers or heading across the Queensland border. Staying here feels like visiting old friends, relaxed, friendly, and filled with the charm of country life.

Three Ways to Stay — Camping, Caravans & Cabins

People Who Experienced the Beauty

Laura Jo M.
Really friendly owners. Nice spacious plots - 2 families were able to share the one plot easily and still lots of space. Great views of the creek. Really good, clean facilities. Allow dogs and campfires too. What more do you need? Will definitely be back.
Kerrie W.
Had a wonderful stay and hosts Peter and Jannie were welcoming. We stayed 3 nights and had a powered site over looking the river. Very scenic and peaceful. Great place to unwind and get away from the rat race of everyday life. Would fully recommend to family and friends.
Andrea B.
What an absolute gem this place is. I wish our stay was longer but we will come back. Loved every minute of it and the added bonus was two gorgeous dogs Russell and Beau. Thank you Peter and Janine. You captured our hearts at your property.
Denne V.
We had a great time at Jannine's and Peter's campground. The amenities were clean and tidy. The scenery is beautiful there and Peter and Jannine are very lovely people. Also, we befriended their playful dog Russell, which added a lot of joy to our stay. In short, I would definitely recommend going here!
Ashleigh J.
Everything was beautifully laid out and clean! Super friendly owners and the place itself just has a really really good vibe about it. My sister and I only stayed a couple of days but were comparing the rest of our trip to it- we plan to be back and for longer next visit
Megan G.
Stayed for my birthday weekend, great campsites very large and well spaced out, plus the cabins are very nice. Cabin one has a bonus kitchen space. The hot showers and toilets were a added bonus and very clean! The camp kitchen space is well stocked! The host is so lovely and accommodating! Highly recommend!
Peter E.
A beautiful setting, very well maintained by Pete, Janine, Bo, Russell and the cat. The camp sites ( tents to large caravans ) are near or follow around Grady’s creek and are well featured with easy access to the camp kitchen. Thanks for a very enjoyable stay. Cheers.
