Bedrock Village Caravan Park and Tours - Mount Surprise

The Beginning of Bedrock Village

Bedrock Village Caravan Park and Tours is located in the historic township of Mount Surprise, 320km southwest of Cairns on the Savannah Way. This region offers a diverse outback experience and Bedrock Village run a variety of nature based tours incorporating cattle stations, gorges, the Savannahlander train and the Undara Lava Tubes.

Bedrock Village Caravan Park was designed and built by Joe and Jo Lockyer on our 9 acres of bush land in 1998. Our dream was to offer the many travellers moving between Cairns and Karumba in the Gulf, a comfortable, attractive base from which to enjoy the abundant natural treasures in the region.

Joe’s membership with the highly acclaimed Savannah Guides Organization goes back over 18 years. His outback charisma, passion and extensive knowledge of Mount Surprise and its environs ensures your tour with him is an unforgettable experience.

Bedrock Village offer daily tours to the Undara Lava Tubes, weekly tours to Einasleigh and Copperfield Gorge on the Savannahlander train and a tour to a local cattle station once a week.

• Pets: We welcome animals and look after them for free while people go on our tours (not overnight)
