Big Rock campsite is a basic bush camping area beside a creek partway up the Bartle Frere Trail. It provides a natural stopping point with flat ground for tents and access to water, though facilities are minimal, no fires, and visitors are required to carry out all rubbish. Its shaded rainforest setting makes it the usual base for splitting the climb into two days.
