Niagra falls (which is actually like a 20cm drop in reality) is just before the kayaks in the distance and the site is to the right in the clearing in front of the trees. Access would be coming down the track to the left of the ute, swinging right and then reversing in.

Weekend Trip to The Plateau Adventures

I absolutely loved camping at the plateau. Its such a beautiful serene place. Fantastic for the rugged style camping. The views are spectacular and Jarrod is such a fantastic host. Make sure you have a strong sturdy tent, I recommend a dome tent as the winds can get intense sometimes as your very high up. This style of camping is for experienced campers. I loved every part of it and I will definitely be going up there regularly.
