Peggy-Lee's campsite offers a peaceful and private escape, embraced by the natural beauty of tall gum trees and a gentle creek. Campers consistently praise the spacious and well-maintained sites, where the sound of kookaburras serves as a natural alarm clock. The location is ideal for those wanting to explore nearby attractions like the 12 Apostles while enjoying the tranquility of the countryside. While some mention the presence of leeches and overgrown grass, the overall tone remains positive, highlighting the site's privacy and Peggy-Lee's attentive hosting.

Such a beautiful place to spend the night. Peggy-Lee was very welcoming. And the campsite was so private we couldnt even see the other camp spots. Lots of birds around and we woke up to the sound of the Kookabarras. Would definitely come and stay again!!

We really enjoyed our 5 nights over the Easter long weekend to escape the crowds. The site was very spacious, private and in a great location for site seeing.
Tent camping was fabulous in this lush, spacious and quiet spot. We had so much room so lots of options for camp set-up. Peggy was really great and dropped off firewood right by the campfire - at $20/bag, it was great value! Would definitely camp here againz

Peggy is a lovely host! Our campsite (#4) felt safe and was isolated from view of the others. We had a lovely time camping there and day tripped to the 12 Apostles nearby.
This property has several very nice and peaceful sites along a small slow flowing stream. All sites except one are flat, spacious and private. Plenty of room to turn around larger rigs. All spotlessly clean and well-maintained. The stream is in a nice natural state with heavy vegetation so not really possible to get to the water. That's good for the animals!
The site closest to the gate is not very private and is noted on the listing as 4WD access. It would be difficult to get a flat spot on this one for a vehicle - tent would be ok.

We stayed on the first site near the front gate in a rooftop tent, which we had to level with the leveling ramps but apart from that the site was well kept.. peaceful apart from the odd car during the day.. but absolutely nothing throughout the night which made for a relaxing and quiet night.
And the views were lovely..
Will definitely stay again on the same site..
Very lovely stay. Peaceful, lots of space around us to make it very private. Bird life was a highlight.

This is a lovely place to stay, sheltered and quiet, with flat campsite and fire pit. just what we were after.
Lovely spot close to the 12 apostles but feels like miles away from anywhere .
Nice open area that we stayed in , lots of birds and wild life around .

Tent camping at Platypus creek was a great experience. Plenty of dry straws and firewoods found on the ground that made us easy to light fire. Would like to go back again.
Platypus Creek was everything we wished for in a campsite. It was private, quiet, beautiful, level and accommodated our every need. The campsite was close to the twelve apostles and other tourist attractions (thirty minutes drive) however we found it difficult to leave such a tranquil setting. We would have no hesitation in recommending Platypus Creek to anyone considering staying. Thank you to Peggy-Lee - highly recommended!

This is a true 5-star campsite. The land is spectacularly beautiful, the sites are private, and everything is beautifully maintained. Peggy was a pleasure to deal with and communicated clearly from start to finish. The instructions were easy to follow. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an excellent camping experience.

Camping in an open free space away from the hustle and bustle of everywhere over the hectic xmas period was pure bliss. It was a perfect spot to go in all the touristy directions of the great Ocean road, we went back to Apollo Bay, Warrnambool, and did everything in between, without being rushed

We enjoyed our stay at this site, nice and spacious and not at all crowded, even when fully booked. Nice and quiet and good location.
But look, out for the leeches if you’re near the water!

We really enjoyed our stay, the site was spacious, with shade from tall trees, by the edge of the creek, and with privacy. Quiet and peaceful, great location! Clear instructions and easy to access the site, location allows you to explore the surrounding area, including visiting the 12 Apostles, Timboon and the Gourmet Trail. Recommended!

We loved our stay at Platypus Creek! We stayed one night on our Great Ocean Road trip, camping in our swag, and driving our 2WD car.
Directions to our site were clear. The site was spacious, private, and felt safe. There were other people camping on the property, though werent in our view. The main house on the property was in view, but was far enough away. While we didnt meet Peggy Lee in person, she was a lovely host, with great communication, and a well prepared camp site.
The drive down was BEAUTIFUL and it was amazing waking up to kookaburras singing.
Would for sure recommend, and would absolutely stay again.
The property was divine, filled with birdcall, surrounded by rolling hills and kangaroos. We had site 4, which was near the road and front gate, but I think about three cars went by in the three days we were there. Site 4 is also on a considerable slope so consider that if it would be an issue for you. We went for a walk and the other sites looked level and very private.
All in all, we had a wonderful stay here and our two little dogs also thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks so much to the friendly and responsive host, Peggy-Lee.
Site was private and easy to find the entrance to with flat ground and a wide space. However the grass was particularly long and full of spiders, leeches and large flies. Being summer the creek was low and the edge was overgrown. We decided not to start a fire due to the high risk of lighting up the rest of the paddock, despite the nice fire pit which had been provided. Did not look like the pictures at our time of stay.
It was fine for us for us as two adults but wouldn’t recommended if you have kids or dogs.
We had a lovely night under the stars in a secluded spot. But we do have mixed feelings about the site

Great place for quiet camping. Plenty of birdlife. Something to be aware of is that there were heaps of crickets around. Didn’t bother us, but may not be everyone’s cup of tea. Lots of places closeby to look around as well.

Directions were clear.. massive well maintained private spots by a creek line.
Peggy was great. very helpful. The spot was nice probably a lot nicer when the creek is running. It would be great for big groups. It’s in a good location for exploring.
