Peaceful and private
Wendys campground was lovely ! Very peaceful away from the town. Large site, would easily fit a few cars comfortable. Amenities were beautifully kept, very clean and well maintained. Dam is a little bit of a walk threw some long grass.

Hill Top Farm Cooktown - Camping
Wendy's farm is beautifully private. We were surrounded by fruit trees. Access is easy and parking was sufficient for 2 familes with 2 utes and a boat. Dogs are allowed but make sure they are used to chickens as Wendy's chooks roam free during the daytime. Toilets are the cleanest drop toilets we've used. Showers and washing machine were great. Located an easy drive to Cooktown. Well worth the drive to enjoy the peace and privacy away from the crowds.
