OPEN ALL YEAR ROUND. Jack's Place is a family-owned retreat property just back from Cow Bay Beach in the Daintree Rainforest. The property has been in our family for over 40 years, being one of the first properties established in the region, named after Jack, a career railwayman & sugar mill operator, our beloved father, grandfather & great grandfather, who 'chucked' his only 'sickie' ever to get to the auction to purchase the property. The property has a lovely seasonal creek which usually flows in the wet season and can sometimes flow all the way through until June, depending on rainfall. There's a shared shed for campers to use. Plenty of lovely freshwater swimming holes in the area and we are about 1km to the beach. Can walk via bitumen road. Good access for all types of vehicles. No amenities so guests need to have everything they need including a toilet and leave no trace. Dog friendly. Campfire permitted in a designated fire pit. Plenty of wood around to gather your own. There are no crocs here but plenty of other wildlife!OPEN ALL YEAR ROUND. Jack's Place is a family-owned retreat property just back from Cow Bay Beach in the Daintree Rainforest.

We ask that all Visitors to Jack's Place respect that the adjoining block & facilities (signed "Myrtlevale") is the Family's PRIVATE property & not open to the Public for use or visitation while enjoying your most welcome stay at Jack's Place.  All campsites "find your own spot". There are fit pits that we would prefer you to use and they may be moved around the campsite. There are no amenities so all campers must be self sufficient, have their own, water, electricity, toilet and shower and waste disposal amenities and leave no trace.

Beautiful space to camp, cute little creek down the back, awesome fire drums. Plenty of space to be private if others are there. No reception like most places in the daintree except outside Crocodylus resort down the road.
