A perfect spot to relax under the stars! A private bush camp experience with a seasonal creek, mango orchard and dam. Pitch your tent or set up your caravan either down near the dam, in a secluded bush setting, or closer to the house yard depending on what you prefer. Enjoy a bush walk around the property, taking in the natural Australian bush environment and enjoy the native wildlife. You may find kookaburras, king fishers, lizards, goannas and wallabies while exploring and can relax by a crackling fire at night. Help feed the farm animals when the owners are home. The goats love a good scratch! Each camp site is private with no other campers booked in the space on the same day. Guests are required to be fully self sufficient with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. Property has secure key pad access.

Black River Bush Retreat Dam Site

Absolutely stunning, easy to get to with clear instructions from the host. Lots of wildlife & a couple very curious cows who will stick their head in your van to say hello. Whole space to yourself, the dogs loved running around & had lots of new smells to sniff. So serene & peaceful, highly recommend & can't wait to return.

We asked for a private spot and it was delivered. We would have loved to have stayed both nights, but camping without the generator made for a stuffy night in the camper van. ( We wanted peace and quiet). If privacy is your thing, you would be hard up to beat this at this close to Townsville.

Black River Bush Retreat Dam Site

It’s hard to believe such a gorgeous spot is less than 30minutes from Townsville! The dam was private, open and surrounded by lovely bush land. Plenty of native bird life, and welcome visits from the farm animals too! Nicole was a responsive and attentive host, and we’ll definitely back!
