Bonadio RV Park is a peaceful, nature-focused stay that trades the crowded coastal parks for the lush, rolling hills of the Atherton Tablelands.
Located just minutes from the heart of Atherton, this family-run park offers a wonderful experience where you can enjoy sightings of wildlife right on the property. It’s great for exploring the Waterfall Circuit or simply enjoying the sunset over the Johnstone River.
To stay at this site, there is no need to be self-contained, as toilets and showers are provided.
Pets are permitted at this campground.
Tents are permitted
Fires are permitted. There is also a communal undercover fire pit with chairs supplied.
On arrival, you must check in at reception.

Campground Layout and Features
Bonadio RV Park has about 40 unmarked campsites on a grassed area. The area is mostly flat and most sites have plenty of sun for solar power.
Sites are powered or unpowered, and water hookups are possible. Given the price difference, we recommend powered sites.
Toilet and shower blocks are provided. They also contain laundry facilities. We found the newer block was very clean and functional. The smaller, older block was clean but a little run-down.
Rubbish bins are provided.
The site has a dump point.
This site is also a nature reserve. At night, there is an animal feeding you can attend. Platypus may also be found in the nearby river.
The cost of a powered site is $28 per night, and an unpowered site is $24 per night.
Bookings are required before arrival. Check-in is available from 1 pm to 5 pm.

As the sites are unmarked, how people set up their camps affects the number of sites available. Try to be considerate.
Final Words
We stayed here partly because we could have power. We had an issue with our caravan batteries, so we went to Cairns to replace them. However, we enjoyed our stay at this campground, and we highly recommend it.
You must book this site prior to arrival on 042 968 2953.
