OPEN ALL YEAR ROUND. Jack's Place is a family-owned retreat property just back from Cow Bay Beach in the Daintree Rainforest. The property has been in our family for over 40 years, being one of the first properties established in the region, named after Jack, a career railwayman & sugar mill operator, our beloved father, grandfather & great grandfather, who 'chucked' his only 'sickie' ever to get to the auction to purchase the property. The property has a lovely seasonal creek which usually flows in the wet season and can sometimes flow all the way through until June, depending on rainfall. There's a shared shed for campers to use. Plenty of lovely freshwater swimming holes in the area and we are about 1km to the beach. Can walk via bitumen road. Good access for all types of vehicles. No amenities so guests need to have everything they need including a toilet and leave no trace. Dog friendly. Campfire permitted in a designated fire pit. Plenty of wood around to gather your own. There are no crocs here but plenty of other wildlife!OPEN ALL YEAR ROUND. Jack's Place is a family-owned retreat property just back from Cow Bay Beach in the Daintree Rainforest.

Quiet, peaceful.

Nice shady spot, quiet. In warmer weather would be nice to go for a dip in the creek. Beach not too far away. Best part is you're allowed to have fires. Beautiful on a cold winters night.

Stayed for 1 night was a nice spot they have pre chopped wood in the shed which is a huge score , was good for the price nothing fancy and a creek a small walk away ! The camp spots were spread but that is with 4 people I don’t think it’d be a a spacious if it was full! At the end of the day I would stay again cheers jack and Jenny

Great quiet location with fire pits

Nice quiet campground surrounded by forest. They even leave you a pile of firewood.

Jack's Place

Nice spot to camp

Nice spot to camp in rainforest. We came up for an overnight from Cairns, only one other camper was there, so nice and quiet. Road close and busy, but was quiet after dark. Don’t know where the creek is that people refer to in earlier posts? Lucky for us the weather was dry.

Great location near Cow Bay to explore the Daintree area. Large clearing, feels very secluded.
