We have a secluded little spot on the Walsh River, on our 100 acre farm. We welcome self contained campers (caravans, motorhomes, camper trailers, tents etc), however also have accommodation available. Let us know if you would like to bring any toys (bikes, quads, buggies)! There are 2 options - book accommodation (bedroom, kitchen, lounge, air conditioning, tv, bathroom, laundry...) or book camping (use as much of the facilities as you like, apart from bedrooms - including power, kitchen, bathroom, laundry etc) There is a 5 room donga (range of queen, double and twin (bunks) rooms, as well as a queen+bunks caravan (could sleep a family of 4). There is also a kitchen/lounge donga, with dishwasher, microwave, and fridges. The bathroom donga has 2 showers and 3 toilets. Camping - power and water sites available, or just bush camp! (facilities still available to use) The site is located above the Walsh River - out of flood zone, so the water is generally a short walk away (maybe 100m). The river is very shady and kid friendly. No pets sorry. Telstra service only.

This was a lovely family orientated campground with a great backdrop of the hills behind Cairns and lots of bird life in the trees. The bathroom was nice and modern and very clean. The laundry facilities were also excellent. There is lots to do here with pools, waterpark and golf. Pizza at the bar was also really good.

A little spot of paradise right here on earth. I felt as though I were wandering the Amazon. Dead white sand, crystal clear water, cool and green, jungly trees reaching across the creek, a place to restore your soul. Jodie and her dog, Blue, were super friendly. Simply fantastic all round.

This place is truly your ultimate camping experience. The land where we camp is large enough for multiple caravans and level. Right in front of where you camp is the most magical fresh water creek. Plus your own private waterfall which is a short walk from your site. This place is truly so special and magical. Hubby and I have a rule that we never return to the same place twice. In 15 years of travelling around the world- this place is the only exception Jodie is so wonderful and welcoming. Please please please respect this place and leave no trace. Jodie thank you so much for allowing us to stay here. It really is one of a kind Oh my god! I forgot to mention the 2 most friendly and kind camp doggos that will come say hi and Blue will lead you to the waterfall like a little rainforest wizard guide haha

We so enjoyed our stay, one of our favourite camps ever. I would return to the area just to stay here again. The beautiful gardens welcomed us in, and our beautifully private lush campsite was easy to access and well presented. The crystal clear creek was the cherry on top, and beautiful Blue the border collie was a great tour guide up to the private waterfall. I loved the company of the horses and dogs so much, and Jodie was a lovely host. The wildlife surrounding us was beautiful, and we even saw fireflies at night. Just, incredible. Thank you so much Jodie and family!

This is by far one of the best kept secrets around FNQ for a secluded camping experience. From driving through rows of flowers on a property nestled into the mountains, to the spacious and clean grounds that are right next to a crystal clear running creek. The ambience of running water and the surrounding bird life is so calming! That's not even the best part, you will surely be greeted by two gorgeous dogs on the property who might even lead you to the owners private waterfall which is a whole other experience in itself. One of the best spots around! Thank you so much Jodie for hosting such a magical space for others! Will surely be back again soon :)

The site is convenient for the city centre (bus service) and airport. It is reasonably spacious. The bathroom could do with being updated, but was reasonably clean.

We loved this site! Camping with kids beside the freshwater creek - just beautiful. Ample room and the waterfall is well worth the visit also. Jodie and Sack were lovely and friendly too. Easy to find and close to the highway yet feels so far away. Would definitely recommend and will be back!

We had an excellent time at the farm. The owners were extremely accomodating and went above and beyond to provide an enjoyable stay. We enjoyed doing all of our favourite camping activities (fire, marshmallows, swimming in the creek), while also having access to hot showers, toilets, kitchen and lounge are. We had a big group and had plenty of room. Thank you!
