Overall a nice quiet spot with good views and the company of the animals. Couldn’t really fault anything, only downside was wasp nest surrounding the showers which gave myself a sting when turning on the pump. Other than that not a bad spot for a night or two.

Jack's Place was our first experience with a Hip Camp. We would have to say it was a great experience. It is a bit over one hour north west of Ipswich. The site were huge. Our host Elizabeth was inviting. We had a couple of four legged locals come and say hello. It is a great little base for a short or long getaway. Would definitely recommend at only $13/night off grid camping.
