Platypus Bend This campsite would accommodate multiple camper vans and cars, and is located on the bend of the creek with steps down into the water. There are large trees and abundant bird life, and you may spot a platypus if lucky. A large fire pit is set up for all your camp oven cooking. Chirpy Camp This is a very private camp for tent or a roof top camper, maximum 2 people. Camp by the creek and enjoy the birdlife, and peace and quite. There is an open fire available and plenty of wood to collect. Chicken Run Camp This is a peaceful campsite, with plenty of timber for an open fire, and flat grassy areas. It's a short walk to creek. Abundant bird life. Wake up to the rooster crowing, goats baaing and birds chirping. Enjoy the evenings around the campfire.

Such a beautiful, serene piece of paradise, completely surrounded by trees, and a quiet stream. Would go again in a heartbeat

Loved our stay! One of the best campsites we’ve ever visited. Beautiful forest with a pretty stream winding its way around and a resident platypus family. Peaceful and you wouldn’t know anyone else exists

Really enjoyed our 2 nights camping in a ground tent. Peaceful and plenty of room and we’re lucky to see the platypus on 3 occasions. Communication with host Alan was easy and directions easy to follow. Would definitely recommend

Beautiful land to escape to, great area for little ones to run around as well. Falling to sleep with the sound of running water 👍🏼

If a platypus has chosen to live there, you know it’s going to be peaceful. Completely protected from wind & road noise & you’re surrounded by the creek on 3 sides. Couldn’t be happier! Will book again if back in the area.
