There is no camping except for caravan parks, within 15kms of Cooktown. With some local knowledge we headed to Annon Gorge and found a spot on top of a hill on the other side of the river from the main access point (tour groups showed up there everyday).
The three vans with a communal covered area, the tarp comes out on rare occasions.
Very good part of the river here, a sandy beach type entry to some rapids for fun and safe swimming. We had a fire on the sandy area one day and cooked potato’s in the fire – delicious jacket potato!

About 60km from Cooktown just past Lakeland, secluded off-road in-a-ditch style camp tonight.

This is the furthest north in Australia that we will travel.
