    Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.
    We have 2 and a half acres of hobby farm with fruit trees, vegetables and open grass for the two resident donkeys, chickens and a couple of dogs. It really is a mini farm just 3 km from the beach. The two very friendly donkeys love to be with children. The property is in the middle of the Daintree Rain Forest with all its beauty. There are endless walks, guided tours adventure activities for all ages and fitness. Guests are required to be fully self sufficient with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste with them on departure. Pull in with your RV beautiful peaceful spot surrounded by fruit trees and rain forest. Go for a swim in one of the many local swimming holes. Great adventures to be had exploring the amazing Daintree National Park from within, Beautiful Cow Bay Beach is just 3 km away. The children will love the donkeys and chickens. Campfires are permitted outside of any restrictions and must be contained and supervised at all times. Well behaved pets are allowed on leash as we have our animals.We have 2 and a half acres of hobby farm with fruit trees, vegetables and open grass for the two resident donkeys, chickens and a couple of dogs.

    Belinda has a lovely place, her donkeys and dogs are a highlight as they are super friendly and the views surrounding the property are beautiful. Well situated for exploring the Daintree and Cape Tribulation.

    Peaceful spot to stay in Cow Bay, not far from the ferry, beach down the road, friendly hosts plus donkeys! I wouldn’t hesitate staying again if we’re up this way again.

    Great place in a beautiful setting. Located close to so many local attractions. Friendly and relaxed host. Kids enjoyed the donkeys, dogs and chickens. An evening walk revealed the numerous glow worms which were amazing.
