Black Mountain 4WD - Platypus Leap
We loved the site, especially our lovely hosts Alaistair and Merryl, who were so considerate to lend us additional camping gear. The amenities were good. Overall, we had an enjoyable stay.

Black Mountain 4WD - Eagle's Nest
Amazing spot.
My group booked Eagles Nest and Myrtle Terrace for the Easter long weekend and couldn't ask for a better spot, they are the perfect fit if you have a group of 6-10 people with around 4 vehicles. The river entrance has a perfect spot for small kids and then opens up to a much larger wider and deeper section. We used the the Kayaks that were made available The amenities block is probably the best I've ever seen for Hip Camp. And Marlene and Alistair are very welcoming. We definitely be back

Black Mountain 4WD- Drongo Dell
Best camp ever
Can’t recommend this place enough, 3rd visit in 6 months, camp sites are amazing with fresh rainwater and firewood supplied to your camp, table and tap on each site and the amenities block is great, awesome shower and the composting toilets are second to none, clean and odour free.
Thanks to the hosts for sharing your beautiful property.

Black Mountain 4WD - Platypus Leap
We think this would be a great place to camp in winter, They have spent a lot of time on the very good facilities, and even left a handbook with the local walks and things to do for you to read in the shower block. They also leave Kayaks for you to use in the river.
We did find it very hard to relax though with the deafening noise from the cicadas from dawn to dusk which only became bearable when it rained. There is obviously nothing the hosts can do to control this though! Maybe bring earplugs (like we did) if you are camping in summer.

Summer camping by the river
We loved camping at Merryl's and Alastair's land. The camp site is very close to the Nymboida river. The amenities (hot shower and composting toilets) are very good, with a water tap, fire pit, firewood, bench and table at each site. There are also kayaks, tubes and life jackets for the guests to use on the river. We would definitely come back in the cooler months, when the cicadas are quiet. During summer months the cicadas can be loud (but thanks to Merryl's warning, we came prepared with ear plugs). Also bring insect repellent as the March flies can be quite annoying. Despite all these, we enjoyed our stay and spent a lot of time cooling in the river. Thanks Merryl and Alastair for your hospitality. Till we meet again. Angela and Robert
