Cape Hillsborough Nature Tourist Park - Seaforth
-20.924888, 149.049216Overview
Beachfront nature park with daily kangaroo encounters on the sand at Cape Hillsborough
Beachfront Location & Daily Kangaroo Encounters
Cape Hillsborough Nature Tourist Park sits directly on a sandy beach at the edge of Cape Hillsborough National Park. Each morning around dawn, a ranger feeds wild wallabies and kangaroos on the beach - a 5-second walk from the park's lower campsites. Guests can watch the animals from a marked-off area without hand-feeding, using only pellets provided by staff to aid digestion.
New Cabins & Accommodation Options
The park offers brand-new Deluxe Studios and Two-Bedroom Bungalows with full kitchens, private bathrooms, and air conditioning. Cabins include a private veranda with table and chairs, plus a cold jug of water waiting in the fridge on arrival. Campers can choose powered or unpowered sites, with some premium beachfront pitches offering direct sand access.
Swimming Pool, Mini Golf & On-Site Conveniences
An outdoor swimming pool with a view, a safety fence, and a water slide is open year-round and cleaned daily. Guests can play free mini golf, use the camp kitchen with BBQs and two fridge/freezers, or purchase essentials and souvenirs at the minimarket. The on-site café serves coffee, pizzas, and takeaway food, while a food truck appears on some weeknights.
Activities for Children & Families
Kids have a playground, a giant chess set, a pool table, and the swimming-pool slide to enjoy within the park. Walking trails of varying difficulty, including the Twin Beach Lookout and Andrew Point, start right from the campground. Parents appreciate the family rooms, the laundry facilities with drying racks in cabins, and the secure, gated environment.
