NRMA Atherton Tablelands Holiday Park

Last updated February 2026

NRMA Atherton Tablelands Holiday Park sits on Herberton Road in Atherton, providing family accommodation in the heart of Queensland's Tablelands region. The park offers a mix of powered and unpowered sites for caravans and camping, plus cabin accommodation ranging from basic units to family-friendly options with kitchen facilities. Located about 90 minutes inland from Cairns, it serves as a convenient base for exploring the cooler climate attractions of the Tablelands. The park features typical holiday park amenities including a playground, camp kitchen facilities, and laundry block. **What to Bring** Insect repellent for evening outdoor time. Warm layers as Tablelands temperatures drop significantly at night. Groceries from town as on-site options are limited. Torch for navigating between facilities after dark. **Best Age Range** Suits families with children of all ages, particularly appealing for 4-12 year olds who enjoy the playground equipment and open spaces for games. Toddlers benefit from the secure fenced environment and safe pathways. **Good to Know** Bookings essential during school holidays and winter months when southern visitors escape to the Tablelands. Small on-site kiosk with basic supplies but limited food options. Main street of Atherton with supermarkets and cafes is a 5-minute drive. Sites can be muddy during wet season December to March. **Nearby** Crystal Caves at Atherton offers underground tours and gemstone fossicking 10 minutes away. Herberton Historic Village provides vintage train rides and historic displays, 20 minutes drive south. **Tips From Other Parents** Book a cabin rather than camping during wet season as sites can flood. The camp kitchen gets busy around dinner time so plan meals accordingly. Stock up on groceries in Atherton before checking in as the kiosk closes early.
