GLOWS Garden Centre Camp is set in a large field backing onto world heritage rainforest to the East/South and adjoining Garden Centre and Raw Materials Yard to the north. We have only opened 4 lovely grassy sites. Our Hipcamp opened September 2024 and only 200m away is a cafe at our Garden Centre for a great coffee 6 days a week! You will need to be self-sufficient however we do have toilets available between 7am and 5pm in the adjoining Garden Centre carpark. Also available is a large cold water washing machine (gold coin donation). We are located on Tully Mission Beach Road with the bike path between Wongaling Beach and Mission Beach running right past the front gates, so a quick ride into town and plenty of space to bring your boat! We your hosts, (Nancy and Shane) operate the adjoining Garden Centre and Raw Materials yard so there is always something happening and with vast local knowledge of what to do and where to go, we are only happy to help. Opened in September 2024 we have planted a tropical fruit forest plantation as well as citrus orchard and with our 50 beautiful free-range chooks (pets) you will have them wandering around freely, clucking away happily.

Site 1 is the closest to the Garden Centre, you have a concrete pad, grass parking space and fire pit looking into the rainforest. Site 1 is suited to a roof top or small Camper - it's the cutest/littlest of all :)

Site 6 is probably our newest and most private site so far. The site is south eastern facing towards the rainforest so you receive afternoon sun. This site gets the most sun for those needing solar - Plenty of space for caravans or camper trailers with concrete pad and fire pit looking into the rainforest. Right next to the tropical fruit forest!

Campers consistently praise the spacious and private sites surrounded by lush gardens, making it an ideal base for exploring Mission Beach. The friendly hosts and presence of free-ranging chickens and turkeys add a unique charm to the stay. While most enjoy the tranquility, some found the male turkeys a bit aggressive, and there were occasional difficulties with site signage. Overall, it's celebrated for its natural beauty, privacy, and proximity to local attractions.

Enjoyed our four nights camping, especially the great grass site after being in dry NT and the Kimberley’s for a few months. Great central location and private compared to the many sites we’ve stayed in Mission Beach before. We’ll be back next year hopefully for a longer stay!

Thanks for great stay Nancy. We loved it and if we could have stayed longer we would have. It was easy to find and loved that the sites are large and felt private. The feathered friends provided a bit of entertainment too. It’s only a quick 10 min drive to Mission Beach and 5 mins to Woolworths.

We had a lovely time. It was a quiet, clean space that we could camp with a few friends. Easy access to either part of Mission Beach. There were baby chicks running around which were very cute. Thank you for having us Nancy!

Site 4 "On the rocks"
A massive thank you to Nance and Shane for creating such a beautiful little hideaway for us all to enjoy. ❤️ Each site is private and has its own fire pit, surrounded by beautiful, lush tropical gardens. There are also some very quirky chickens and turkeys roaming around, which provided plenty of entertainment! 🐔🦃😂 The location is fantastic — only about 3 km by car into Mission Beach, with easy access to the boat ramp and jetty. We even did a beautiful 6 km return walk from the property into Mission Beach, and of course, had to check out the great clothes shopping while we were there! 🛍️ We were also incredibly spoiled by Nance, who kindly gave us some beautiful fresh produce. Everything was absolutely amazing and delicious — we certainly won’t be going hungry! 🥬🍌❤️ We’ve absolutely loved our stay here and will definitely be returning. Thank you so much, Nancy and Shane, for your wonderful hospitality and for creating such a beautiful, peaceful place for travellers to enjoy. We can’t thank you enough! ❤️🌴

Lovely little spot to base your mission beach holiday. Each site has plenty of room for any setup, lush grass and rainforest around and the sites are separated for privacy by beautiful gardens. These guys have done lots of good work to transform this little corner into a relaxing camp. Will definitely stay here again if I come back this way

Glows was such a great spot! We stayed 3 nights and could have happily stayed a week. Site 4 had so much space and privacy it was everything we could have hoped for. Nance & Shane were great hosts, and the shop is well worth a look! (We’re actually a little disappointed we weren’t visiting on our way home. We could definitely have filled the car with some beautiful plants, pots and a water feature!) The chooks and turkeys were a highlight for the kids while they rode their bikes around. We would highly recommend and have no doubt we will be back!

Stayed in site #6 very private and peaceful. Host Nancy gave great instructions. Daily visits from the chooks and turkeys were lovely. Excellent potable water available and dump point is only a few minutes drive away in Mission Beach.
