Welcome to the Whitsundays. Relax in country surroundings. We are located 10 minutes from the Don River where you can go 4WD driving and find some top swimming holes. Conveniently we are also 10 minutes into Bowen business centre for all your supply needs.  Bowen is a relaxed town with old architecture and wide streets. The coastline is postcard perfect with turquoise water and white sandy  beaches. There are beautiful beaches all around Bowen for swimming and snorkelling - checking out the small reefs close to shore is a must. Or just relax in front of the campfire with your dog. Explore Horseshoe Bay, Murrays Bay, Rose Bay, Grays, Kings and Queens Beaches, the Town Beach and Dalrymple Point. The local pubs offer great meals in beer gardens. You will need to be self-contained with own camping toilet/shower, water and supplies.

Beautiful sunsets, close distance to Bowen. Bit expensive for unpowered, no water, no facilities but with not much else in the area I’d consider staying again if I was passing through.

Host Trudy was fantastic host, extremely helpful an friendly, she went out of her way for an enjoyable holiday answering all of my questions via hipcamp before we started our holiday. Trudy let us use her pool which was like a little oasis. Location is perfect, its out of Bowen CBD, however, about 7kms drive away from Bowen township. Highly recommend staying at Bowen Base Camp.

Trudy was very welcoming! Came over to greet us when we arrived and showed us to where we could set up. Plenty of privacy and wood for sale so we could have a little campfire! Had some beautiful friendly dogs greet us the next morning which we loved! Would recommend it as a beautiful spot to stay if passing through Bowen. Thank you Trudy and your family for having us. 🙏😊

The owners dogs were not in leads and came into camp area. Other than that was good to stay overnight. Perhaps a good place to stay when adventuring around Bowen area.

We enjoyed staying in our camper trailer at Bowen Base Camp.. Plenty of space and away from busy caravan parks. Access to water for tank refilling if needed.
