Platypus Bush Camp

Please note: Bookings made here are “request to book” only, to help us avoid double bookings. For real-time availability, instant booking, and our full range of campsites, please visit our website or phone us.

Hi everyone and welcome to our home — the very special Platypus Bush Camp.

Operating for over 40 years, this bush camp and rainforest retreat is often described as one of Australia’s most unique stays — and it really does feel that way. With a blend of rustic rainforest charm, a touch of Asia and South America in its building style, and a good dose of Aussie humour and hospitality, it’s a place that feels timeless.

Four clear creeks flow all year into an absolutely stunning swimming hole, the largest and deepest in Finch Hatton Gorge.

The camp facilities are off-grid but offer powered sites. You’ll find all the modern comforts: flushing toilets, beautiful hot showers with rainforest views, large camp kitchens with everything you need (including a pizza oven and USB charging ports), and peaceful dining areas where you can hear the creek.

Accommodation options:
– Powered or unpowered sites to suit all setups — some with private decks overlooking the creek, some shaded, some sunny for solar.
– Tent-only sites on the grassy area near the main fire pit (no vehicles on the grass; parking close by).
– Three private creekside huts/treehouses with stunning views, comfy beds, and full bedding.

Visit our website to view the full range of accommodation options and the latest site updates.

Pets are welcome if well behaved and cleaned up after.

There’s a central fire pit with seating and a cooking plate, plus an undercover fireplace and dining area for rainy nights. You’re also welcome to bring your own fire pit.

We’re in the Pioneer Valley, just outside Mackay, Queensland, 2 km from Finch Hatton Gorge in Eungella National Park — about 1 hour from Mackay or 2 hours from Airlie Beach along a beautiful drive.

Two or three nights is ideal to explore the Gorge, Eungella National Park, and still have time to relax.

We look forward to meeting you,
Shane and Family
