Great place for quiet camping. Plenty of birdlife. Something to be aware of is that there were heaps of crickets around. Didn’t bother us, but may not be everyone’s cup of tea. Lots of places closeby to look around as well.

Peggy was great. very helpful. The spot was nice probably a lot nicer when the creek is running. It would be great for big groups. It’s in a good location for exploring.

Platypus Creek was an excellent camping area, plenty of level space and beautiful scenery. We took a day trip to Port Campbell for lunch. We can highly recommend this camp.

What a beautiful private site. It was well sign posted once inside the gate. However we did follow the sat nav and it took us to the next gate. And we ended up in the cow paddock- whoops. Please apologise to the neighbour

We loved camping here!! Beautiful sunset above the hillside. Campsite 2 had plenty of space and flat ground for our rooftop tent. There is plenty of trees for shade as we went during the peak of summer. The abundance of wildlife we saw was great too. Would recommend Playtpus Creek to others.

Peggy’s communication and understanding was fantastic The space was large, flat and super quiet. The grass was nicely maintained with a fire pit accessible. Great spot to stop on the western side of the Otways.

The privacy of the campsite was great. would look at more as a winter retreat as the creek would be flowing more On general a great site
