Great setup! Clearly a lot of work has been put into the facilities around the camp site. Highly recommend!

Connor is an awsome friendly guy who bends over backwards to help you out. The place was perfect 👌, we tried booking the caravan park in Wonga and found out why... plenty of spots but nothing for a family and dog, the lady was rude there when we were trying to get to the beach. 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.

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.

Really friendly and welcoming hosts on such a beautiful property in an amazing part of the Daintree. Extremely peaceful, plenty of space with gorgeous bushland surrounding it. Very friendly animals and the Donkeys are amazing. I’ll definitely be staying again on my next trip.

Easily accessible site, a lot of space, perfect place to spend a night on Captain Cook Highway. Have to be self-contained. I would recommend this for a safe stop for 1 night.

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
