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

Well set up, friendly and responsive hosts. We loved that you could choose your own spot and there weren't designated spots which can get cramped when busy. Some permanents living there but away from the camping area. We were lucky to be the only ones there. Small creek to cross on entrance so be mindful before booking if theres been heavy rain. Definitely recommend, thanks for having us!

We stayed in the horse paddock i think they called it and it was absolutely beautiful. We drove up to the lookout and omg it was spectacular. The swimming areas were beautiful. And the caretaker lady was absolutely beautiful and so helpful when you arrive. The place is absolutely beautiful and we would definitely recommend to other people.

Weekend Trip to Middle Creek Dam Campsites

Great spot. I love that it is a single camp site and we could be there on our own. Just what we needed and close to home for us. It was very dry this visit (it is the driest time of year here) but it is only a short drive or easy walk to Middle Creek Dam which was a fantastic spot to go for a SUP, have some fun with the dogs and relax. We will definitely be back.

Parked van on site 9, great site for shade. Close to road but not a lot of traffic, caravan sites further down look good, power is a bonus. Shane is continually upgrading the campground and will be amazing when completed

Weekend Trip to Middle Creek Dam Campsites

The campsite itself was good because it was completely private and didn’t have to worry about others being around. Especially with the dogs. Great location. Very very dry this time of year so the bush walks and hiking aren’t much to see as the gully is bone dry, and middle creek dam is quite dirty, but otherwise a great stay and recommend to all :)

Great place to take our dog, he was free to run and have fun. The toilet block is amazing and very clean plus it has a real shower!! It was very hot and we were so relieved to get there and see there's a covered area, chairs and the table is also under cover.
