What an absolute paradise. Tranquil and we'll looked after. 100% recommend!

Had a great time in this quiet and peaceful bushcamp. With the lights at night it feels magical ! Make sure to book a caravan spot with a view on the river :) The showers were also amazing

loved platypus bush camp! stayed in the creekside hut and it was perfect! creek is beautiful and so clear! shane and zoe were amazing hosts and very kind! will be back for sure! xoxo Charlies Angels

Me and along with my 5 friends booked the camp site for 25th December night stay.Drove all the way from Gold Coast there and couldn’t find the site there that night, no clear signs to navigate to the camp site. We got late and tried to check in after 10pm. It was pretty late but atleast there should be some lights and proper navigation to reach there. There was a detour and the road was flooded with little water, pretty scary drive there to be honest. We had no place to stay that night. Waste of money. Can’t complain since we did late checked in but just this a feedback.

Hands down one of the best places we've stayed! Zoe was a dream host, so helpful and made the stay extra special. She helped the kids paint rocks and fairy doors and let them add them to the forest. Shane has done an amazing job making this place a little slice of heaven! We will definitely be back.

Very suggestive place to camp, just next to the creek where you can have a fresh swim, spend good time with other travelers in a very comfort bush area!

We camped at Platypus Bush Camp it was magnificent, the service we received from the staff and the new owner Shane was wonderful. We went to MTB in the new Finch Hatton mtb park but we got rained out, will definately be back to enjoy a weekend of serenity and adventure. One of the best camping spots I have stayed at. Will be back...

This is the most beautiful campsite that I’ve stayed. The staff is just so friendly and the place is peaceful, clean, tidy. Is worthy staying a couple of nights in this little gem. Hopefully I can come back soon!

Great stay there, we had a thunderstorm all night, was still great sleeping "outdoors" in Honey Moon Hut. Lightning and woke a few times up from rain spray in my face :-) Great place

Hele leuke en rustgeven plek met alles wat we nodig hadden midden in de pratige natuur

I stayed here for a couple of weeks in August/September. If you love nature this is a beautiful location, with plenty to do in the surrounding area. It has a fantastic communal fire pit , hammock area & beautiful natural swimming hole. The most common comment I heard here was “I wish we booked for longer”.

Ich war mit einem 4WD mit Dachzelt unterwegs und bin zufällig hier gelandet. Eigentlich wollte ich nur eine Nacht bleiben, habe dann aber eine weitere gebucht. Das Camp ist ein so ein bezaubernder Ort, man fühlt sich wie in einem Märchenland. Man merkt, dass sehr viel Liebe in die Gestaltung des Camps gesteckt wird. Toll sind auch die Duschen mit Blick in den Regenwald. Für alle die nicht mit einem Csmper anreisen, gibt es auch offene Baumhäuser mit Rundblick in den Regenwald. Ein toller Nachthimmel und jede Menge Glühwürmchen machen es noch einzigartiger. Das Camp ist zudem ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen und Schnabeltiersichtung im Eungella National Park. Finch Hatton Gorge ist direkt um die Ecke.

The highlight is Shane! Lovely host, interesting and funny person with great vibes. The place is secluded in the middle of the jungel and is perfect for chill out with swiming holes and spots for platypuses. We had great time there. Take a few days to enjoy the surrondings and absourb the place's atmosphere.

Words cannot express the uniqueness of this privately run rainforest retreat. Please DO NOT camp there unless you love nature and what it has to offer. NO...there are no swimming pools, playgrounds, restaurants etc. You need to be self sufficient, bush showers and toilets are available but if you're a princess this is not for you. Shane runs the place and he is on a mission to ensure this place offers the best of Mother Nature

Beautiful flat and roomy bush camp sites surrounded by rainforest, opening on to a delightful creek. One of the most pretty and peaceful places we've stayed in years of travelling and this 3 month road trip. Other sections equally nice and fabulously equipped with camp kitchen, private hot showers opening to the rainforest, beautifully raked paths winding throughout. Short drive to walks at the nearby gorge, so great to leave the van behind. $40/n for paradise!

Un lieu plein de poésie avec une belle qualité d'équipement. Des cuisines super. Des douches à couper le souffle Très belle expérience

Lovely place, beautiful nature and river, everything was perfect, the showers are super cool.

Such a lovely site and group of people all very friendly accomodating and kind, thank you I wished I could have stayed longer, hopefully get to come back again some day Middle of nowhere but country vibes till you hit the beautiful rainforest Well done you can tell they care about the flora and fauna here Didn’t see any platypus this time which I was sad about but was a very quick stop and didn’t look super hard I’m sure they’re there Just magic

The peaceful rainforest setting, crystal-clear river, and immaculate premises made for a truly relaxing experience. Staying in the honeymoon suite on the river added to the serenity and privacy.highly recommend !!

What a brilliant bush camp in a tropical setting. Defines eco camping. Brilliant facilities ( you will love the bush showers), hosts are passionate folks who run a clean efficient site in the most relaxing and laid back way. Brilliant swimming hole, crystal clear waters and a platypus or two if you're patient and quiet . Great experience thanks guys keep up the great vibe.

Cannot recommend this place more!! We truly have never been anywhere as beautiful as this, definitely head out if you're considering it!!

The Platypus Bush Camp is one of the most unique accommodation destinations on the east coast. Amazing bush walking tracks, bird watching, swimming holes, friendly family owned property. Its luxury bush camping huts are one of a kind. Plenty of space for caravans or campers

Great campsite with amazing facilities (2 kitchens, hammocks, fireplace, toilets and even hot showers) for a fair price. Owner is a great guy that even helped us to cross a river after heavy rainfall using his trailer because we were in a rush.

Very cosy stay. Great facilities with outdoor showers. There is a creek near the camping where you can go swimming.

Great campsite, a slice of paradise in the perfect location. Super close to beautiful waterfalls in the national park, toilets and showers were clean and pleasant to use. There is a perfect swimming hole on the property as well. You do have to drive over a couple of shallow rivers to get there, we managed ok in our campervan, but might have been a different story if the water levels were higher.

A true paradise in a stunning location. The place has a good atmosphere with cosy shared areas and well-maintained amenities. The hot showers with a tropical view are definitely worth mentioning!

One of the nicest places I’ve stayed for the night with my van!

Wonderful place to visit

El mejor camping que he visitado en Queensland. Muy cerca de Finch Hatton Gorge. Excelente amenities, cómodo, agradable, limpio, tranquilo, tanto de dia como de noche. Entorno 100% natural, todo hecho con buen gusto y amigable con el entorno, caminar y utilizar los espacios comunes de noche es maravilloso. Buena ducha caliente y cocina completa. Puedes bañarte en el río de agua cristalina, los anfitriones son maravillosos, tienen WI-FI, heladera, mucha sombra. 100% recomendado.

Didn't stay but walked around and I'm definitely coming back for this spot. Right next to a platypus habitat and GREAT hiking. My buddy and I walked to the waterfall and saw so many things along the way. We found snakes, goannas, lizards, bugs, birds, and more. I love this place and I would reccommend coming for a treehouse stay and a camp fire.

Loved staying here, beautiful secluded camp in the rainforest. Lots of wildlife, beautiful swimming pot, wish we could have spent more time here. Easy to get to. Went to the pinnacle family hotel (12mins away) for dinner. We really liked the shower shack. The Camp is so unique, would highly recommend!

Highly recommend this amazing hidden gem. Shane has turned this into a beautiful place in the jungle. Perfect swimming Creek, charming communal area with hammock to hang back in and toilets and showers with an amazing view. It has a short bushwalk to spot platypus. This is the first place where we wanted to stay longer than we booked for

A brilliant campsite perfectly positioned a short drive from Finch Hatton Gorge. My partner Sophia and I stayed here for three nights and absolutely loved our experience. Falling asleep to the sound of the rushing waters of the nearby creek, and waking up with a refreshing morning swim was truly idyllic. The bushcamp itself has a great feel, and this is largely testament to what Shane and his crew have created. Shane is such a lovely, exciting guy and a superb host. Always checked in on everyone on his strolls through the campsite, and went above and beyond to help us out when we needed it most. Heavily recommend this place to anyone looking to explore the beauty of the Eungella National Park.

Stayed only for one night but can highly recommend Platypus Bushcamp. It’s situated along a creek. I wasn’t lucky enough to spot a platypus but maybe you are luckier than me. It’s a beautiful place to wake up and spend your morning. The camp is very neat and set up with thought. There’s an outdoor seating area where you can enjoy your morning coffee. On the other side you’ll find 4 flushable toilets and 2 showers. What else do you need? Thank you Shane for setting this up and being such a welcoming host.

Great to be back in this special place with wonderful and friendly host Shane. Everything is just as it was only better! Will be back soon xx

Heaven on earth! The owner is awesome, the camp is beautiful, and the facilities are terrific 👌 Just come and enjoy the creek in the camp and go to the amazing gorge in the morning you won't regret it.

It is one of our favourite places we stayed on our trip around Australia. The rainforest was beautiful we swam in the river. George Hatton gorge just up the road, loved the outdoor showers great hosts just so relaxing

כל מי שמגיע לאזור מקאי.. מומלץ לעצור בקמפ הקסום הזה✨ הוא נמצא באמצע היער 🌴 עם גישה נוחה. מאד נקי ומסודר.🦦 המארח אחלה גבר! ❤️

Beautiful spot! Amazing clean toilets and hot showers. Pet and kid friendly. Lovely owners. Fire flies and cute creatures… not far from the gorge and great places to visit/eat in finch hatton, pinnacle and eungella. Perfect getaway

Most amazing spot on the whole QLD coastline! What a special experience with excellent facilities. There couldn’t be a complaint if you tried! Don’t miss the chance to stay here.

Meilleur camping de mon voyage en Australie, en pleine nature, très beau et très reposant, je reviendrais pour sur !

Excellent facilities.

The most beautiful, exciting and nature connected campsite I have ever been to Everything simple but super lovingly designed With a fireplace, access to a swimming area on the river and a cozy lounge area you feel directly welcome and secure I can recommend this place to everyone

Heaven on Earth 🌎 Wazza is a beautiful host ❤️ This place should be on everyone's bucket list!

Second time visiting. Most tranquil place ever, currently doing a lap of Aus and this is probably our favourite spot. Wazza is a legend, the place is gorgeous. Thanks for having us again, we’ll see ya next time ! 😄

Get back to basics with Wazza at the bush camp. No electricity no mobile service, it was so relaxing. Went for a swim in the creek pool, cold & invigorating. Take a short walk to spot a platypus if you’re lucky. Open camp fire, toilets & showers. About 2km to the cascades & other waterfalls @ Finch Hatton.

Best place on earth, so peaceful and magical. Not sure who loves it more me or the kid's. Thanks for having us Wazza. See you very soon!

Der Hammer... schlicht einfach kein Luxus nur die Natur und Du. Waza ist sehr und nett hilfsbereit. Ah doch, einen Luxus gibt es dort. Der Camping ist im Wald und an einem Fluss, und wer jetzt denkt ist sicher voll mit Mücken, pech gehabt. Keine Mücken. Keins stechgefahr. Der Luxus.

Great little campsite close to the gorge! If you want the full nature experience - this is for you. A very relaxing atmosphere, beautifull natural pool and even spotted a platypus in the morning!

Top spot, quiet and picturesque.
