Creature comforts
Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.
Situated on the beautiful banks of the Burnett River just out of Bundaberg. We have powered and unpowered sites overlooking this pristine river and creekside area. We have our own private boat ramp and pontoon that our guests are welcome to use and toilet and shower facilities on site. Our Creekside area is quite and secluded looking down onto the creek with an abundant supply of wildlife. There is a transportable toilet and shower for your use. Creekside is a 10 minute easy walk to riverside or a minute drive. Enjoy the abundant wildlife whilst canoeing up our subtropical creek or just sit and relax and take in the view of the passing waterskiers. Platypus Park Riverside is a unique hidden gem with bushwalking, a hit of golf, volleyball, swimming and fishing. You won't be disappointed with your stay. Come check us out. NOTE! LOCKED GATED ACCESS REQUIRES HOST TO MEET YOU ON ARRIVAL. Please make sure you have a confirmed booking, check "MY TRIPS" in your profile for directions and call me 30 minutes before arrival to avoid needing to wait for me.

Fabulous lush green spot on the riv
We stayed in the riverside area which is surrounded by lush green lawns and lovely gardens, with a short stroll down to the edge of the river. We enjoyed listening to the whip birds, caught some catfish in the river, and just relaxing. Not far into Bundy and surrounding attractions in the area.

Family friendly campground
Absolutely beautiful property. Colin has been so welcoming and friendly to us. He showed us around the property and gave us clear instructions. The property is very clean and well maintained. We saw a variety of wildlife in a beautiful river that you could sit and watch the sun go down. Will be coming back again when we’re up here again!

Exceeded our expectations. Beautifully looked after property along the river with friendly and knowledgeable host. Not far from Bundaberg for day trips. Can't wait to go back and do some fishing.
