Originally on a private property, the Ashford Caves are now part of the Kwiambal National Park. A basic camping ground called 'Lemon Tree Flat' is located within a Script error: No such module "convert". radius of the cave entrance, as are the Macintyre Falls.[1]

A colony of Eastern Bent-wing Bats[2] inhabits the cave system and breeds from November through March.
