Platypus Bush Camp

20 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents5 acres · Finch Hatton, QLD
Hi Everyone and Welcome to our home and a very special property called Platypus Bush Camp. The property has been operating as a bushcamp / rainforest retreat for 40 years and from what we hear regularly it is one of Australia's most unique campsites and it feels nice too :) The bushcamp feels like you are going back in time and has a hint of Asia / South America with the building style and nature but you are in the Aussie rainforest / bush and then we trow in some country hospitality and humour so we can all enjoy our time. There are 4 creeks that flow all year into an absolutely stunning swimming hole that is the largest and deepest in Finch Hatton Gorge. We are off grid but with all the modern amenities like flushing toilets, stunning hot showers with rainforest views (if you like), large fully equipped camp kitchens with everything you need, there is even a pizza oven and usb charging ports and you can see and hear the water from the kitchens and the dining areas. Accomodation options include:
 - 10 unpowered sites available which suit a variety of set ups including sites with your own private deck looking over the creek, shaded sites and sites with sun for solar - please refer to each site description for specific site size and photos. - 6 unpowered tent sites in our grassed where the main fire pit is located - no vehicles are permitted on the grassed area but parking is close by. - 3 private creekside huts / tree houses with stunning views, comfortable beds and bedding. Pets are welcome - as long as they are well behaved and owners clean up after them. There is a central fire pit with seating and cooking plate and an undercover fireplace / dining room as well if there is any rain or bring your own fire pit and use at your site. The property is located in the Pioneer Valley just outside Mackay, Queensland. We are 2 kilometres from the breathtaking Finch Hatton Gorge in the Eungella National Park. Just 1 hour drive from Mackay and 2 hours from Airlie Beach and the drive here is beautiful too. Two or three nights is a good amount of time to be able to explore the area including Eungella National Park, Finch Hatton Gorge (Araluen Cascades & Wheel of Fire) while still having time to relax at the Bushcamp. It will be nice to meet you. Shane and Family.

The best camping near Brampton Islands National Park guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure to Brampton Islands National Park, where rugged peaks offer breathtaking views of turquoise waters and secluded bays. Although camping is not available, the park invites you to explore its diverse ecosystems, hike to Brampton Peak, and enjoy water activities like snorkelling and swimming amid the Great Barrier Reef.

When to go

The best time to visit Brampton Islands National Park is during the cooler, drier months from May to September. The tropical climate offers pleasant temperatures perfect for hiking and water activities. Avoid the wet season from December to April, as the park is prone to cyclones and marine stingers are more prevalent.

Know before you go

  • Check weather conditions before your visit, as the park is subject to tropical weather and cyclones.
  • Bring all necessary supplies, including water and sun protection, as there are no facilities on the islands.
  • Be aware of marine stingers, especially from October to May, and consider wearing protective clothing while swimming.
  • Respect the natural environment and the cultural significance of the area to the Ngaro people.
  • Remember to take all trash with you, as bins are not provided on the islands.
