Escape to serenity at Rainforest Gateway. Relax and unwind to the gentle murmur of the creek, go for a paddle, take a hike or simply put your feet up and enjoy a crackling campfire under a sky bursting with stars. With great views, tranquil bushland, abundant wildlife and the stunning Border Ranges National Park close by, it’s the perfect spot to destress. Our dog friendly park is nestled alongside the everflowing Gradys Creek and features large, easily accessed, grassy powered and unpowered sites overlooking the creek. For those after more of a glamping experience, there are 3 x one bedroom cabins available. On-site amenities include hot showers, flush toilets, fully equipped camp kitchen with a large undercover area (perfect for large groups or private functions), and a laundry. Feel free to book any site that’s available, they all overlook the creek. To avoid overcrowding not all sites are listed on Hipcamp.

Rainforest Gateway is a beloved campsite known for its tranquil setting beside the creek, spacious sites, and well-maintained facilities. Guests frequently appreciate the friendly and accommodating hosts, Peter and Jannine, as well as the clean amenities, including a welcoming camp kitchen. Many visitors enjoy the natural surroundings, such as the nearby national park and opportunities for kayaking and swimming. While some reviews mention occasional noise from passing trains or boggy conditions in wet weather, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive with promises of return visits.

Rainforest Gateway Cabin 3
Cabin 3 was the perfect place to call home for a couple of nights and take advantage of the calm surroundings. Containing everything you need in the kitchenette and a stones throw from everything you could want in the shared kitchen. A lovely spot to stay and soak up the atmosphere and wish upon a shooting star!

We loved Peter and Jannine’s Rainforest Gateway! – from the initial warm welcome, to the stunning campsite with beautiful views & total serenity. The amenities were spotless. The stove fire was cosy. Beautiful walks nearby! In a good-sized caravan, we were able to find a nice powered site, and enjoy a campfire under star-lit nights. Heavenly!

I live locally, 30 minutes away and desperately needed a weekend away. Peter & Jannine’s beautiful spot on the creek was perfect. Quiet, clean and well maintained. Very friendly and helpful, delivered firewood to our campsite. A lot of places in the past have discriminated when they see we have a Rottweiler however they didn’t. Thank you so much ☺️

We had a fabulous time! The property was absolutely beautiful and it was clear how much effort has gone into maintaining the space. We had lots of space and a beautiful view of the creek and surrounds. The site was clean and easy to access, and there was plenty of firewood available for purchase. The bathrooms and showers were amazing and so convenient to have close by. Peter and Janine were lovely and so acccomodating. We would absolutely stay here again!

Platypus Lookout - powered site A
Powered Site-A glamping. Group of five to six caravans, all families with young kids camping together, and had a fantastic time. The campsites were spacious, with plenty of lush grass and a beautiful location right beside the creek. Heaps of room for larger caravans and motorhomes to pull in and set up comfortably. Jannine was an excellent host—friendly, approachable, and always available if we needed anything. Communication before and during our stay was fantastic. The amenities were spotless, with clean toilets and hot showers that were well maintained throughout our stay. Firewood was conveniently available on site for $20 per bag, and the weekend coffee shop was a great bonus. We also really enjoyed the live music on Friday night. A couple of things to keep in mind: during winter, even light rain or heavy morning dew can make the grassy sites quite wet and muddy, so it's worth choosing your setup carefully to make departure easier. Roads leading to the property have narrow bridges and a few steep sections. We towed our 21ft van with Pajero Sport in without any issues, but it's something to be aware of if you're bringing a larger rig (eapecially new caravanners). This looks like a popular spot during school holidays and long weekends. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and wouldn't hesitate to come back. If you're looking for a peaceful, family-friendly campsite by the creek with great facilities and welcoming hosts, this is a fantastic choice.

We caravanned here with our dogs. Flat site with power & water. Brilliant social area off the camp kitchen. Creek appears to be a permanent water source and has lots of shallows for kids and dogs as well as some deeper areas for fun in kayaks. Creek has easy access. Grounds and facilities are clean, well maintained and water is hot in the bathroom. Definitely recommend this property.
