Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.
Located just outside Townsville, this rural farm setting features lots of wildlife. There is a dam in a shaded paddock next to the camping area. You can hang out with the horses, cows, chickens and many other animals. The campsite is quiet, peaceful and relaxing. We even have a MH therapy cow, Nemoo! (bring your camera!) Enjoy a yarn around the campfire (firewood available depending on season) or a swim in the dam! This campsite suits self-contained campers who bring their own toilet/shower amenities and can run off grid. The Townsville region has much to offer. There's a free swimming pool on the esplanade. If you're up for a walk or bike ride the esplanade takes you through the gardens on the water's edge. You can also take a cruise out to Magnetic Island. Pets on leashes are welcome.Rural farm setting with lots of wildlife. Dam is in a shaded paddock next to camping area. Hang out with the horses, cows, chickens and many other animals.

Not as per reviews & listing
This was basically a cow paddock at $30 per night . No contact with the host even though we were there early arvo. We couldn’t find the water and power as per the listing . The horses ducks and other farm animals are in a fenced area not accessible to guests . We had just come from another farm stay at $35 p/ night with water, power, toilets, shower, washing machine & dryer beside a crystal clear creek . Sorry but we won’t be back.

Close to Townsville
Great place to stop. Close to Townsville. Trish made us feel welcome. The farm has horses, a bull, chickens and lots of ducks. It was relaxing to sit out around a camp fire looking and listening to the farm animals.

$81 plus for 2 nights, no power or water, horse poo, very dry grass and a large dip at entry. Trish is lovely but the overpriced.
