THE CAPITAL OF CAPE YORK
WHY YOU MUST PUT COOKTOWN ON YOUR LIST WHEN NEXT EXPLORING QUEENSLAND !
Heading north for a road trip ? Put Cooktown on your itinerary ! Known as the capital of Cape York Peninsula , this remarkable town is steeped in Australian culture and history .
Located on the north-east coast of tropical Far North Queensland , just half a day ’ s drive from Cairns , Cooktown is surrounded by Cape York Peninsula ' s national parks and coral reefs and islands . This remote town is a fantastic destination for RV travellers and with so much on offer there ’ s plenty to keep you entertained .
We stayed off-grid at the newlyopened Cooktown Campout , an awesome bush-camping environment located 15 minutes north of town . With huge sites that cater for groups of travellers , this family-friendly location currently welcomes self-contained travellers , with big expansion plans for the future . If you prefer the convenience of a caravan park and access to power and water , there are four right in the centre of town .
