The site offered good facilities and a warm welcome however, unfortunately the entire site had a strong smell of urine especially bad after the sun went down. Made it difficult to sleep or spend any time outside of the tent. Maybe it was a one off..

Comfrtable stay with minor downside

Powered Caravan Site
I had a nice stay overall. The place was easy to access, quiet, and comfortable enough for a short rest. Brent was friendly and communication went smoothly. The only thing to note is that the area is close to a meat factory, so there’s sometimes a noticeable smell depending on the wind direction. Other than that, it was a good and peaceful spot to stay.

Powered Caravan Site
Mycow itself is trying to be nice, however is unfortunately failing. The staff were lovely and wanted you to enjoy your stay but the people that live there full time were very creepy. There is loads of noise from the road no matter where you are and you constantly got strong smells of deceased animals coming across from the abattoir opposite. We didn’t feel safe or clean and would not recommend.

Overall the place was average, we didn't realise how close it was to the highway so we heard every car, bus, truck and even train that went by. Unfortunately the ensuite style bathroom was left filthy. I'm talking mud, water and even clumps of hair. We were also on a corner site close to a skip bin. The kitchen was left grotty by previous users as well. So not such a great experience for us.

The site was pretty good but more crowded and less natural than the eco camp style sites I prefer. Totally practical, convenient access, and within range of domino’s delivery haha. The abattoir smell was quite intense - manageable in my bus and tolerable considering I was just passing through.

Noisiest campsite we had on our trip; it felt like more of a shift workers camp than anything else- people coming & going at odd hours, in the kitchens & the showers. Lovely staff in reception - very helpful. Maybe check this place out if you’re a young international backpacker needing local work. We only needed a quick overnight stay & we left early. Not for us.

Not a bad site - best sites would be down the end near the creek, very busy park - caters more to the longer term workers looking for a base rather than families/tourists, not very private and a lot of come and go traffic late into the night/early morning.

Site 1 - Spacious Grassed Powered Sites
When I arrived at the reception, my booking was not in their system, however they had a few spare spaces for me so I didn't have to go somewhere around, which was good even it was under school holiday season. That was my first time to use power site ever for our Motor House, all experiences were new to me and the reception staff was kindly explained everything for me so it was a good part too. My site was just next to the highway so it's been noisy a bit until midnight but it can't be helped. There were plenty units of hot shower, that was a good part too. So next time, I will book superior site instead of near the highway site for sure. There was a river next to the site however it was low tide so we could not catch any fishes unfortunately because my son was looking forward to it. Anyway, I think we will be back again next time. Thank you very much for having us.

The staff were lovely but be aware this campground is right next to the Bruce Highway and the train tracks and is very, very noisy. Facilities are ramshackle and overrun. Probably the worst campground we’ve stayed in for a long time, sorry owners!

Good value for money even though there is a little highway noise but further back in the park this would not be an issue.

A decent place for needing somewhere to stop over a night in Mackay, but I just can't recommend it. The mozzies here were pretty bad, I got 15 bites over 48 hours, even with 3 types of DEET and repellant, plus citronella candle burning. I've left a more in-depth review on Google reviews.

Firstly the coordinates to the property were very wrong, about 10km or more in the wrong direction! We did enjoy our stay, however it was very different to what we were expecting from the photos. The lady at checkin was amazing and very accomodating to help us pick the best site. Ammenities were nice and new and clean.

Site was okay, green grass. They're angled sites so it worked for what we needed. Just a place for the night. The constant traffic sound we weren't a fan of, but it's just the location. The amenities were great, large hot showers. Clean. The kitchen area is big and nice.
