Well maintained with a decent firepit and log seating. Plenty of wildlife to watch, saw a few Platypus, deer and a echidna, Danes was responsive to questions.

Platypus Bend
Beautiful spot which was quiet and peaceful. The perfect place to unwind and relax. We managed to spot a platypus in the creek after some helpful tips from Dane. Would definitely recommend this camping spot.

It’s a beautiful spot! Very private and full of wildlife and wonder. Loved the ease with which we could make a campfire and enjoy a beautiful outdoor experience. Owner was also very helpful but not at all intrusive.

Platypus Bend
Really nice quiet spot with total privacy. We’re a 13+ metre rig and had no problem getting in and out. Nice and level, great firepit setup and we appreciated the fire being ready to go (as well as the pack of marshmallows!) Felt safe for our dogs too with the river surrounding three sides and a fenced off entry section. We all loved it.
If you are a long setup, make sure you don’t miss the entrance gate as it’s very tough to turn around further down the road. Don’t worry about the sign that says unsuitable for caravans, that applies to the dirt section beyond this property.

I'll be coming back. I like the privacy and the closeness to nature that the bend in the creek provides.

A truly peaceful spot. Very secluded & quiet just the way we like it. Appreciated the fire being ready to go with wood supplied & the surprise marshmallows were a treat. Easy drive through access for vans. Though we heard splashing on approach, the elusive Platypus managed to evade us, however we did enjoy sitting on the chairs provided trying to spot them. Dane was easy to communicate with & very accommodating. We will definitely be returning to Platypus Bend again. Highly recommend.

Five stars for Platypus Bend

Platypus Bend
Dane is an incredible host who thought of everything, detailed info folder, safety signs, firewood, kayaks, sports equipment even an arrival marshmallow gift. The campsite is flawless: easy access, level areas, sun & shade balance, beautiful creek frontage, and our dogs loved it (fully fenced one side + creek border on the other). We saw platypus every day, heard amazing birdlife, and enjoyed peace like nowhere else. We will 100% be back. Thank you so much Dane.

Lovely spot. Peaceful and private, with plenty of shade. Lots of nice extra touches too, hammock and camp furniture was a bonus. Dane was really helpful with good communication. Definitely recommend this one and looking to visiting again.

Platypus Bend is a special spot indeed. A lovely large flat grassed spot that is well looked after, no one around, gorgeous creek and thoughtful extra special touches. What a fantastic place to unwind in nature. Loved my two night stay and will be back again someday for a recharge. Communication was easy with Dane through the app and access is easy and directly to the spot. Fire was all set up ready to go. Perfect 10/10.

Platypus Bend
A lovely private spot, located in the bend of a creek. I'll have to come back in summer to make the most of the water, and try a couple of those log crossings.
