Ours is a working farm that the two of us (not young folks) manage on our own. Campers can join in whatever we are doing at the time, stand by and watch, or just sit back and enjoy. If you are interested in growing veggies or just seeing how we do it, then we are happy to show you around. Otherwise you can just relax in peaceful surroundings.
Our farm also offers unique elevated views of the local farming area with a backdrop of The Great Dividing Range, the Coral Sea and Port Douglas. There is also an impressive variety of butterflies and bird life to enjoy.
Hosts are happy to show campers around our market garden that we start cultivating after the wet season and usually continue until December - weather dependant.
Guests will have access to a portable fire place during their stay as well as a BBQ grill and hotplate. Firewood is available for purchase.
We have electricity available from the vacant cottage at $25/night. Must be booked through Extras.

Here’s a more informal, friendly rewrite:
A really lovely open spot close to the beach. We arrived after some very heavy rain, but the hosts were kind enough to clear a higher, drier area for us as the usual camping spot was flooded.
The small lake is beautiful and attracts lots of birds – the birdsong is constant and really relaxing. We’d love to come back and stay again in better weather!

Beautiful little private spot next to the creek filled with fish and turtles. There were small rubbish and recycling bins provided, as well as an outhouse with a portable toilet which was kept very clean.
Couldn’t swim in the creek as there has been recent croc sighting nearby but still great to camp by.

Miyuki and Larry have curated a very special spot next to a beautiful creek. Feeding the turtles was a highlight, as was the massage my partner received from Miyuki, she said it was amazing and perfectly relaxing.
They have a communal portable toilet that is immaculately kept.
It was extremely private, we could have been miles from anyone.
10/10 would recommend 👌

Bobby-lee was super friendly. Loved the grassy site, and the crystal clear creek with its sandy bottom and beaches were sublime. It was like being in a green cathedral. Only downside were other campers feeling the need to leave their own hundred or so metres of private creek to constantly pass through or take over the little piece of paradise directly beneath my campsite.

This place is nothing short of amazing!! Plenty of recent rain meant everything was green and luscious.
Flowing, fresh creek was perfect for swimming. Nice sandy bottom with plenty of shade cover.
Bobbi and her family are very helpful and run an amazing camp-site. We will be back to enjoy this slice of paradise.

Great little campsite only a few minutes from Mossman and 2 minutes from the fantastic Newell Beach.
Great location to explore the Daintree, Port Douglas areas and local freshwater swimming holes.
All sites are grass around a small man-made dam with fire pits, surrounded by farm land, with friendly cattle. There's a communal shed to catch up with neighbours at sundown.
Family run property very welcoming. No power or toilet but ideal for self contained camping and vans, with water taps available to top up your own tanks.
Ideal place to explore from or just relax.
