Located just outside Townsville, this rural farm setting features lots of wildlife. There is a dam in a shaded paddock next to the camping area. You can hang out with the horses, cows, chickens and many other animals. The campsite is quiet, peaceful and relaxing. We even have a MH therapy cow, Nemoo! (bring your camera!) Enjoy a yarn around the campfire (firewood available depending on season) or a swim in the dam! This campsite suits self-contained campers who bring their own toilet/shower amenities and can run off grid. The Townsville region has much to offer. There's a free swimming pool on the esplanade. If you're up for a walk or bike ride the esplanade takes you through the gardens on the water's edge. You can also take a cruise out to Magnetic Island. Pets on leashes are welcome.Rural farm setting with lots of wildlife. Dam is in a shaded paddock next to camping area. Hang out with the horses, cows, chickens and many other animals.

Great spot. Close to Townsville but far enough out to enjoy the peace and quiet. Lovely to meet the animals.

The site was brilliant, great setting with some really cool animals to see. Trish was incredibly helpful all throughout our stay and went above and beyond when we made a rookie error with the utilities in our van. Would highly recommend!

Nice country location
The host was very accommodating with very short notice. Close enough to town for sight seeing. Very quiet and lots of wildlife around. A nice place to stay..

What a perfect little spot. Close enough to main attractions yet far enough that you can still relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. Cute farm animals there for the kids to fuss over!

Nice green paddock and the most beautiful, friendly animals with big personalities! Your paint mare in particular is such a funny character! The paddock is mostly unlevel so we'd recommend to those with levelling legs (camper trailers and caravans) We'll be back again. Thanks Trish

Great quiet place, close enough to Townsville but far enough away as well. Trish is very accomodating. Our second time here! Fletch and Nicki
