Great space on a flat site.
Easy access.
Host incredibly helpful ( came to meet us in the dark during a heavy storm !) Took us on a tour of the valley the following morning. It is beautiful.
Ideal location for visiting Mossman Gorge and Port Douglas.

We loved the place! The spot at the River was awesome. The welcoming was very friendly. We did a Croco Cruise after arriving. We saw two and some birds and other animals. Was a nice trip. The facilities were clean and shower was great. We would love to come back!

We absolutely loved our stay at Mowbray Valley! Phil went above and beyond and truly exceeded our expectations — he couldn’t have been friendlier or more welcoming. He was always happy to answer our questions and even took the time to show us around some local spots, which we really enjoyed and appreciated. As our first stop on our journey down the east coast, Mowbray Valley set the bar incredibly high for the rest of our trip, and that was all thanks to Phil for taking the time to show us around. Thank you, Phil and Annabella, for such a memorable and wonderful experience. 10/10

Our family had a great time camping here.
Open grassed area surrounded by forest.
Toilets and outdoor shower, fire pit and Dan let us use the verandah area too.
Lots of room and minutes from the beach we had a great weekend here.

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.

This was a great cheaper option for the Port Douglas area! You do get some road noise being so close to the highway, but it wouldn’t deter us from staying again. Recommend.

Significantly cheaper (for a family of 6) than any of the caravan parks around so if set up for off grid and don’t mind some traffic noise, it’s a great option.

We arrived late with no issues during our stay at Dans property, and the space was a well thought out. There were little nooks to tuck away into with our camper and close to flushing, clean toilets (what a treat!)
It rained while we were there, but this only added to the peaceful, tropical experience for what we thought was going to be a quick over night stop.
Stunning! We'll never forget this one.

We had a great time at river view! The lovely lady in the office was so kind and helpful, and Michael made sure we had power and parked safely👍 The view is gorgeous, and bathrooms are nice and clean, kitchen has everything you need and there’s mobile servicr across the site! Couldn’t ask for anything more :) We did a croc tour right from the campsite and another about 15 mins away for less than $40, a bargain! Thanks so much for having us

The Cassowary shack was magical!! A rainforest oasis which we were lucky to have all to ourselves. We had somewhere to shelter when the rain came down. It was perfect. Dan was super helpful and responsive to messages.

Bare bones and close to the road. No amenities, just somewhere to park up near Port Douglas. This Hipcamp is in the early stages of development, down the track it should be a lot better

We had a great time camping at the Cassowary shack! It's in the middle of the rainforest, nothing but nature around. Very spacious and open surface. Woke up to colorful butterflies flying and birds singing all around us.
We had the pleasure of meeting Dan and Kate as well, they're super lovely and helpful. Couldn't have wished for a better experience :)
