Juliet and Grant have been custodians since 2003, in that time we've built a house, raised a family and now that Alex and Hayley are both at University, life has become a little quieter, (not so sure if we like the quiet though!) Now we've only just started with Hipcamp, we do have a lot to discover, happy to listen and learn. We do offer plenty of space and you will not be crowded out as we keep numbers very limited. No facilities, no toilets, showers, electricity, rubbish bins etc. We do ask that you respect this as you must be fully self contained. We do not consider, a bucket with a lid, to be self contained ok! Right now though in our top dam, we have a flock of White Egrets roosting at night, spectacular when they depart & return each day, however due to the number of these birds, hundreds if not more! they have fouled the water in the dam & it's a bit on the nose.

Bring your tent, car, caravan or motor home...... there is plenty of room! The Meadow is located in a sleepy little rural area at the end of a road, so there is no through traffic and quite private. There is an abundance of wild life wandering through from the rainforest to the neighboring cattle property including a huge range of birds, numerous wallaby's, and the occasional cassowary. I do have a resident cow on the property. Stewie is extremely friendly and will come to the fence for a pat and will love you even more if you feed him a slice of bread or a carrot. He has no spacial awareness though, so please don’t enter his paddock….. it is pretty scary having a 600kg “puppy” with very big horns bounding toward you wanting to play! The water is tank/bore which is fine for drinking and I am happy for you to fill your water tanks during your stay but I do ask that you use it sparingly…….. no washing of vehicles or vans please 🙏 With only 1 site, you will absolutely not be crowded in. There are no toilet or shower facilities available so you will need to be fully self contained. This is the perfect base to explore all that the Daintree, Port Douglas and Atherton Tablelands areas have on offer.

Fantastic spot with level, green, well kept grass. Beautiful outlook of mountains with the Daintree river below. Easy 5 minute stroll to the tiny Daintree township and pub. Peaceful watching the cows and calves directly adjacent to site. Ending up staying 5 nights and used this as our base to visit Port Douglass (45 minute drive), Cooktown and back in a day (long day driving) and the very challenging 4WD Creb track and just time to chill and enjoy the serenity. Potable water on site is a bonus and helped us extend our stay. Highly recommend

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.

Highly recommend the Cyclone Bunker, super friendly had a good yarn and offered more then he needed to. Thanks again

this was a great space for us as a larger family. Big open green space for the kids to play and very affordable compared to the nearby caravan parks which get exey for a family of 5. The space is positioned between the road and the dump (no smell and no visual of dump), neither of those bothered us though as we were out for most of the days we were there. 10 mins drive to town and beach. No facilities so need to be fully self contained.

5 nights at Miallo Lakehouse Hipcamp

We had a perfect spot at number 4, plenty of full sun for solar collection. Plenty of open grassed space for the kids to play, the creek was also fantastic for both big and small kids to play and swim in. Just a note that there is no water available at all and if you need to top up tanks you will need to collect from town. We are a big rig and had no issues with getting in or out. We will definitely be back next time we are up that way.

1 night at Hartleys Creek Retreat

It was a nice well setup campsite very near the creek. Our host was very freindly and kindly introduced us to the local Croc Noodle. Best campsite bathroom we've had the pleasure of using. And an ideal spot after a day at Hartlys Crocadile Adventure.
