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 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

I stayed here for a couple nights and had the space and creek all to myself! The site is private and the creek is so pristine. The waterhole close by that is recommended, is absolutely superb. Went to the Julatten Hotel for dinner one night which is literally a couple minutes away. The beautiful lady that’s lives on the property is soo lovely. Perfect for a private camp site with quite a shaded area with dinner and lunch options close by, along with pristine creek dips. 100% recommend! Thanks for having me :)

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.

Very close to central Port Douglas but feels like you’re so far away. Loved being able to come back to our quiet site after a busy day. Only 4 sites and plenty of room so it was very private. Instructions were easy to follow, highly recommend for those wanting to visit Port Douglas and surrounding areas but like the quiet and privacy whilst camping.

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.

It is a nice and flat area. Have a good breeze under the trees with the birds chirping. Local cows are very vocal to let you know they are around. Was far from the road so it was very peaceful.

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.
