Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.
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 metre long barra and 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.We are located in the Townsville region, close to the coast.

Amazing host! Everything was perfect, peaceful, relaxing and private, clean flushable toilets and hot showers, the owners are truly awesome, very helpful, and friendly. We stayed with a very active 2yr old who had plenty of safe room to run and play outside, Christmas morning the rual fire trucks drove into camp area to give the little ones lollies 🍭 Would 100% stay again! Highly Recommend
