Great position close to Bowen but quiet and peaceful farm. Richard was a great host and we loved being shown the pigs being feed, especially the very cute piglets.

Went there for One night on the way from Townsville to Eungella National Park. Quiet and flat Place, easy „Check in“ and Communications with Host. Everything Went well :)
Great spot with a nice flat site, perfect for our caravan. A firepit, portaloo and outdoor kitchen area were all provided. Richard was very friendly and welcoming, and even supplied us with firewood for a small fee. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily stay again.

We stayed 3 nights to allow full exploration of Bowen. The location was out of town which appealed to us. Quiet nights, great sunsets and plenty of room. So much better than a caravan park and price was great! Highly recommend.

Peaceful friendly atmosphere. Hosts are Lovely. Enjoyed watching the pigs being fed. Thanks.
We had a lovely time at Jenkins Farm, it is a good, clear, flat area where you are not crowded at all. There are no trees so you get full sun for your solar panels. There is a builders toilet available which is extremely helpful. Richard comes each night to have a chat and you are welcome to watch him feed the pigs. We stayed five nights and enjoyed our time there.

Great little stopover for us. Very welcoming and bonus of seeing the farm animals feeding.
Lovely relaxing evening with campfire and timber available from Richard.
We loved our stay here! The owners of this property are great and very welcoming :) our daughters had lots of fun feeding the pigs and piglets and watching the budgies.
The property also has Lots of space to park up and have your own space, We hope to stay here again in the future.

Great place to stay, hosts are friendly and make the effort to say hello. We did a tour with feeding the 11 piglets. The hosts recommended the walk in Bowen across the sandbank to the lighthouse, only able a few days a year due to tides, that’s was great. Great place to stay, we will definitely stay next time we are this way.
Had a great experience at Richard's lifestyle block. So peaceful. Close to town but nice to be staying out of town. Only 6 sites on a large flat well maintained piece of ground.
Great hosts.
