    Nomadic camping
    Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
    Off-leash friendly
    Pets can be off-leash at this Hipcamp.
    Our property is 38 acres in size and is primarily used as an equestrian facility where coaching, clinics and training in dressage are conducted as well as providing agistment. The camping area is 100 metres or so from the nearest road and next to a dam and provides some of the most gorgeous sunsets around. Currently you will need to be self sufficient as we don’t have any toilet or shower facilities and we are still working on our shade with the trees having only just been planted. We are are only 2km from the Bruce hi-way and a comfortable 10 minute drive to the beautiful Bowen beaches, shops, pubs, restaurants making this a great spot to base yourself for your next Bowen getaway or if you are just passing through.Our property is 38 acres in size and is primarily used as an equestrian facility where coaching, clinics and training in dressage are conducted as well as providing agistment.

    Lovely quite little spot; beautiful sunset with mountain views- am sure it will be very stunning once the trees have grown. Recommend for an overnight stay.

    Great spot to visit the lovely town of Bowen. Perfect for caravans, very peaceful. Theres not much there so I would recommend for only campers who are completely self contained! We loved our stay here and loved cuddling Bug, the owners dog!

    Very clean field, far from the road which is nice for the calm, bonus is the two very beautiful horses in the field next to the spot

    This farm was only a short drive to the centre of Bowen. At first, we missed the turn to the camping section, not seeing the sign, however we enjoyed our 2 night stay. The friendly farm dogs were a hit with our two kids, coming to say hello each afternoon! Would recommend this spot. Thanks.

    Dogs Welcome
    26 ft travel trailer
    A new site, lots baby trees. Pretty dam that was unfortunately dry during our visit, perfect for an overnight. Large, level pitches, mountain view. Some slight traffic noise overnight but not enough to disturb. Friendly Dogs off lead welcome. Fire pits provided. No facilities. Would be greatly enhanced by a bush toilet and tap for water. We had a very pleasant stay.
