Creature comforts
Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.
Located northwest of Mackay, our campground is very private with a 100 metre long flat lawn. The site is fringed with rainforest and not visible from the road. A private track leads through the rainforest to a swimming hole.
We are on beautiful St Helen's creek below Mount Dalrymple, just outside of Eungella National park's eastern boundary.
Walk to the creek for a swim or walk around the gardens. Bring your goggles as the creek is clear and there are fish and turtles. There are many tropical butterflies including Cairns Birdwings and Ulysses to be seen.
Birdwatching is also great here with many tropical species including the Wompoo and Rose-crowned fruit doves, azure kingfisher and torresian pigeons.
The campsite has its own flushing toilet, hot showers and drinking water. Campers can enjoy the "Tiki Hut" camp kitchen with BBQ, offset smoker, some comfy chairs, hot showers, flushing toilet, colourful lighting, kitchen bench with hot water and some 240v power available for light duties such as charging phones or running laptops. Power is all battery stored off-grid solar and can't provide heavy power such as cooking, heating or air-conditioning.
Walk to the Strawberry farm for pick-your-own strawberries (available at certain times of the year only). Hang out in a hammock in the Tiki Hut or walk to another local swimming hole nearby.
In the evenings, warm your feet by the campfire. You will need to BYO firewood.
Please note that there is no mobile phone coverage here. You will be "Offline" throughout your stay in paradise. We have a landline at our house which can be used in an emergency.
We are "friendly dog" friendly. So if your dog greets strangers and other dogs with a smile and a tail wag, they are welcome. If they bark or don't get on well with other people and dogs, then please leave them at home.Enjoy a massive 100 metre long lawn as your campsite. Private and surrounded by rainforest, this secluded camping spot has a Tiki Hut with a kitchen, BBQ, offset smoker, bar, chairs and tables, flushing toilet and hot outdoor showers.

We had a great night away. Lovely camp and the amenities are great. Loved the shower! The camp kitchen is fully stocked so don’t worry if you’ve forgotten pack something. The water hole was nice and refreshing. David was very accommodating and welcoming

Perfect place for camping in style
Tent · With kids
This is the perfect place for glamping!
Booking both sites for our family meant we could make ourselves at home and spread out in the tikki hut for communal cooking.
The kids were also able to have a great time on the grassed area without the parents stressing about where they were. And having full use of the bathroom and shower facilities to clean them up at the end of the day was the icing on the cake.
Fully recommend David's for a fabulous stay.
