All to yourself

100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

A perfect spot to relax under the stars! A private bush camp experience with a seasonal creek, mango orchard and dam. Pitch your tent or set up your caravan either down near the dam, in a secluded bush setting, or closer to the house yard depending on what you prefer. Enjoy a bush walk around the property, taking in the natural Australian bush environment and enjoy the native wildlife. You may find kookaburras, king fishers, lizards, goannas and wallabies while exploring and can relax by a crackling fire at night. Help feed the farm animals when the owners are home. The goats love a good scratch! Each camp site is private with no other campers booked in the space on the same day. Guests are required to be fully self sufficient with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. Property has secure key pad access.The dam site is located down a grassy track off the main driveway. This location has a variety of bird life and the dam is frequented by wallabies and other bush creatures. There is space at this site for tents or camping vehicles including caravans. While there is no potable water at the site itself, you can fill up tanks at the hose near the front gate. The level of the dam is seasonal but there is water and wildlife all year round. There will be no other campers at this site during your stay. Currently the goats are able to access this area from 7am to around 4pm when they come back up to the house yard and are locked up for the night. If you are going to leave during the day, we recommend not leaving camping gear set up or cars at the campsite as they may be climbed on. Please message to discuss if you any questions.

Black River Bush Retreat Billabong

We asked for a private spot and it was delivered. We would have loved to have stayed both nights, but camping without the generator made for a stuffy night in the camper van. ( We wanted peace and quiet). If privacy is your thing, you would be hard up to beat this at this close to Townsville.

Black River Bush Retreat Dam Site

Bush retreat!

It’s hard to believe such a gorgeous spot is less than 30minutes from Townsville! The dam was private, open and surrounded by lovely bush land. Plenty of native bird life, and welcome visits from the farm animals too! Nicole was a responsive and attentive host, and we’ll definitely back!

Very nice property, friendly animals for children. A dog at the top. Our son loved it. The hosts are very available and attentive to detail. We recommend this place if you want to stay near Townsville.
