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). 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 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/long weekends 3 nights minimum and 4 nights for the Easter holidays.

I loved this camp ground. Rupert has done a great job by keeping it simple yet comfortable and sustainable (full equipped kitchen, solar, and compost toilets). I also loved the policies of taking your own waste and chemical free use of the creek. Unfortunately, the first night wasn't completely peaceful because a big family decided to ignore the site's rules and party all night instead. After the Indian party the place was very peaceful, the creek is very nice and the weeds are pretty well contained. I also love the initiative of restoring the riparian vegetation along the creek. I'm a bird lover so, I couldn't pick a better spot to see plenty of species. Additionally, the views of the national park are stunning. Another aspect I can't let passing is the fact I felt safe, I was camping on my own and the fact that Rupert actively takes care of the place (without bothering anyone) made me feel comfortable, I even went to see glow worms one evening and left my tent alone for a few hours.

The area is very private and secluded right beneath the mountain. Perfect creek running at the base with plenty of space for activities. It felt like a commune amongst the Wilderness

Great spot close to the waterfall, some great walks on the property too with good views of the surrounding landscape. Very close to natural bridge making it easy to see the glow worms at night as well :)

We loved camping at Natural Bridge. We ended up at the Rock Pools site, not waterfall outlook, because it was really private. We had our own little swimming hole and it was completely private. The sites are well set up and the hosts (Keith and Zandra) are awesome!

Waterfall Cascades camping at Keiths and Zandras property was the best located camp site spot we’d all stayed in. Each camp had plenty of space for themselves and there was a friendly vibe amongst other campers. The property is huge with lots of walks and areas to explore such that you don’t need to leave the property to adventure out.

What a stunning property! Waterfall, waterhole to swim, majestic views, we loved camping at Natural Bridge Retreat. Campsites are kept away from each other. The fire pits are large and easy to cook on. The facilities are kept clean. Keith and Zandra are welcoming and friendly hosts happy to share their passion about their land and the area

Great little spot hidden away. I'm not sure I would take a car here as the entrance/exit could be troublesome. Probably wouldn't suggest a trailer either, I took mine but it's an off-road rig and only 4.2m long so we easy to navigate
