Peace at Platypus Gorge
14 m travel trailer · With pets · We enjoyed a lovely long weekend at Stanlyn Park, staying at the Platypus Gorge campsite. It’s a beautiful, secluded spot with barely a sign of any neighbours, making it perfect for a peaceful getaway.
The campsite was well maintained, with fire pits provided. It appeared to have quite a bit of rain recently, so some areas were quite muddy, particularly the little alcove surrounded by the creek. We were still able to find a nice, level grassy area for our 4x4 and van without any trouble.
The only visitors we came across were the park’s curious dog and a few friendly cattle who casually meandered past. Just be sure to watch your step- there are plenty of large four-legged “landmines” scattered around! 😂
It would be a beautiful, shady spot in summer, and the creek looked lovely and clear. I’m sure it would be perfect for sitting in and having a quick dip when the weather is warmer.
Overall, it was a super relaxing stay, and we’d happily return. Already booked ourselves in for our next long weekend! 😊
