A special camping experience can be enjoyed at this spectacular location in QLD close to the NSW border for ADULTS ONLY i.e. 18 years and older and able bodied. Lamington National Park adjoins this outrageously beautiful property that features the waterfall made famous by actress Laura Dern in the iconic Sunsilk shampoo commercial filmed here in 1998. (LGBT welcome). PLEASE NOTE: The Hipcamp service fee varies according to the amount of the booking. For one guest for one night the service fee is 18% approx. of the camp site fee. Bookings at Natural Bridge Retreat have to be for a minimum of two nights. As most bookings are for two or more people for two or more nights, the service fee is generally 11.2%. A beautiful creek descends through the 135 acres which includes rainforest that is listed as State significant vegetation. There is a deep swimming hole at the waterfall and other swimming areas up and down the creeks. You can hike to the upper plateaus that feature two ancient Strangler Figs with ocean views and a view of Mt.Warning as well as to the Bushranger Caves and lookouts higher up on the Lamington Plateau. Natural beauty is everywhere you look with mountain views, volcanic boulders and rock formations, Upland Rainforest and lots of wildlife. This is a property for nature lovers. Mobile reception (Telstra works the best), flushing toilets (ladies & gents), hot shower and campfires are permitted in designated locations - sorry no pets. We will e-mail further details upon receiving your booking including a link to a Release and Indemnity form that must be completed prior to entering the property and a link to a form to advise your vehicle type and camping mode. *All bookings must be for 2 nights minimum and in the peak periods/long weekends 3 nights minimum and 4 nights for the Easter holidays.

Waterfall Creekside

Paradise - The Best Camping Site!

This is the most relaxing camping site we've been to. It feels like you are back in time and you are living in a paradise. The view was spectacular! We are so lucky to have the spot on the Waterfall Creekside; it was so relaxing to wake up with the creek water sound right next to our tent. At night time you'll see thousands of stars and fall asleep with the cricket noise. My husband and I had the best time, and we are already planning the next visit. The Waterfall was the highlight and so refreshing to swim in the cold water. Keith and Zandra are so friendly and very informative. The whole place is so clean and well-maintained. Highly recommend it.

Waterfall Retreat

Such a great little spot for a getaway. Keith and Zandra were very friendly and accomodating. The whole site was very clean and well maintained. It has an awesome track close by for a hike if you want something to do for a day. The waterfall/swimming hole is magical and you won't want to leave. I Highly recommend to anyone who loves a good chill spot!

Waterfall Escarpment

We stayed on the waterfall escarpment and it was so beautiful and peaceful. It was noisy at times from other campers but that was to be expected over nye and as the noise level travels up! The owners are wonderful hosts, very attentive and helpful. We had our own private rock pools to cool off in or enjoy the amazing waterfall on site. Will definitely be back to try the rock pools site or to nook back into our new fave. Thank you for a wonderful stay and a great start to our 2025!
