A special camping experience can be enjoyed at this spectacular location in QLD close to the NSW border for ADULTS ONLY i.e. 18 years and older and able bodied. Lamington National Park adjoins this outrageously beautiful property that features the waterfall made famous by actress Laura Dern in the iconic Sunsilk shampoo commercial filmed here in 1998. (LGBT welcome). PLEASE NOTE: The Hipcamp service fee varies according to the amount of the booking. For one guest for one night the service fee is 18% approx. of the camp site fee. Bookings at Natural Bridge Retreat have to be for a minimum of two nights. As most bookings are for two or more people for two or more nights, the service fee is generally 11.2%. A beautiful creek descends through the 135 acres which includes rainforest that is listed as State significant vegetation. There is a deep swimming hole at the waterfall and other swimming areas up and down the creeks. You can hike to the upper plateaus that feature two ancient Strangler Figs with ocean views and a view of Mt.Warning as well as to the Bushranger Caves and lookouts higher up on the Lamington Plateau. Natural beauty is everywhere you look with mountain views, volcanic boulders and rock formations, Upland Rainforest and lots of wildlife. This is a property for nature lovers. Mobile reception (Telstra works the best), flushing toilets (ladies & gents), hot shower and campfires are permitted in designated locations - sorry no pets. We will e-mail further details upon receiving your booking including a link to a Release and Indemnity form that must be completed prior to entering the property and a link to a form to advise your vehicle type and camping mode. *All bookings must be for 2 nights minimum and in the peak periods 3 nights minimum and 4 nights for the Easter holidays.

Big Fig Site

Our site was secluded and peaceful with the creek running nearby. We saw lots of birds, including 3 wedge tailed eagles when we walked the track up the hill. The directions were easy to follow, good communication and a comfortable stay.

Waterfall Plateau Group Site

Top spot to relax, beautiful property well maintained with good amenities. Property owner is very friendly. The bushrangers cave hike outside the property is well worth the hike to get there.

Rainforest Creek Group Site

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! We had a group of us stay along the creekside and we wish we could've stayed longer. Peaceful, clean & insanely stunning water holes! Our host Keith was friendly & made us feel very welcome and was really helpful. We will be back! Highly recommend 👌

Rainforest Rapids

Hidden gem in Springbrook

Amazing spot nestled in the valley! Despite a bit of wet weather, we had a great stay at Keith’s property. He was very helpful (especially when we get caught in a bit of mud) and was always available on mobile throughout our stay. Because of the wet weather we moved to a higher site, which was perfect for us. Close to the creek (which was a little chilly, but worth the swim!) and just beautiful to sit by in the winter sun, soaking in the peaceful surrounds. Would recommend to anyone looking for a hidden gem in Springbrook, close to nearby hikes and quaint country towns.

Waterfall Retreat

Amazing hosts, limited amenities

Great spot. But the price doesn't reflect the quality of the amenties/lack of built in activites availaible. The cost per night ($100ish) is equal to or more than a cheap motel ($85-110). However the amenties provided are fewer and to a lower standard. Obviously this is camping, so I don't expect luxury but the price per night should reflect that it isn't luxury. E.g. toilets are 2 port-a-loos they are immaculately clean. Keith does an amazing job. But there is no hand washing just santisiser. The flush funtion doesn't have sufficent water pressure and basically requires a toilet brush most times. The singular shower is unique but is essentially a 4 wall, no roof, wooden crate with hot water connected to a hose and portable shower head located between some trees. There are no amenties like sink, BBQ spot, no cell service. The view is amazing, nice waterfall, close drive to glow worms . The host keith is super attentive and does provide firewood at similar prices to places like Bunnings. I probably wouldn't stay again unless the price was lower OR the amenties/activites offered were expanded. As there are a lot of similar places with water/swimming that are half the cost or less.
