One of the best things about travelling by campervan in Cairns is that many of the region's top attractions are free or very affordable. The Esplanade Lagoon in Cairns is free to swim in, the Atherton Tablelands offer dozens of free waterfalls and swimming holes, and many beaches along the coast are completely free to access.
For budget travellers, free camping and low-cost caravan parks are available throughout the region. Apps like WikiCamps and CamperMate help you find the cheapest overnight spots near your route.
Our most popular budget options in Cairns include compact 2-berth low-top campervans starting from $35/day, which are perfect for couples or solo travellers. For those wanting more space, budget hi-top campervans with standing room start from around $50/day. These vehicles may be slightly older models but are fully functional, roadworthy, and equipped with everything you need.
