We are located in the Townsville region, 25 kms from the city centre and only 10 kms to Coles and BWS but close to the coast. The campsite is set on a private 150 acres with 3 swimming dams, portable toilet on site and motorcycle tracks including enduro. Camping and campfires are allowed near the dams in fire pits. Fish for jade perch (catch and release please). In Townsville itself you will find the headland at the north end featuring the military exhibits of Jezzine Barracks and a wide promenade which is great for walks as it heads south past the safe swimming zones. On the other end, at Ross Creek, you can catch the ferry to the Great Barrier Reef or take a 20-minute ferry ride to Magnetic Island, with its beautiful bays, bushland hikes, and wild koalas. Country Vows wedding reception centre is located on 5 acres at the front of the property.

Weekend Trip to Country Camping Dam Site BlackRiver

The kids had a great time camping around the dam . Toasting marshmallows, fishing & best part riding their dirt bikes around the tracks . Good time had !! Only negative was the porta toilets, disgusting. Lucky there was a shovel on hand . My advice to owners / carers of property maybe more regular checks & changes of porta toilets .

Cant get much better than this. 10/10 for the thrill seekers. Adults smashed buggys around and the kids couldn't get off the dirtbikes. Beautiful property and Noel and his wife welcomed us with open arms. Will be back for sure!

We loved everything about it. It was really nice set up next to the dam with the fire going enjoying a few drinks with friends and family. We had the whole place to ourselves which was nice after being cramped up in caravan parks. We had a bit of rain over night but the track in was easy to navigate even towing a 7mt van. Noel's a really nice bloke and we thank him for sharing his place with us.

If you are looking for a proper bush camp then this is the one for you. We had the whole place to ourselves and it was beautiful. The kids rode bikes from morning till afternoon and had a great time. The port-a-loos are a luxury if you are used to bush camping - they were fantastic. There was a small creek to cross but it had a concrete bottom and we got through with our 4x4 and trailer with no problem. Noel was very welcoming and quick to help when we found an issue with the toilet. We will definitely be back!
