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, there is always something to do. The 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 units 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. We are a dog-friendly park so the whole family is welcome. Dogs need to be restrained at all times and cleaned up after. No aggressive dogs please. Campfires are permitted in designated fire pits only and may be subject to fire bans. Firewood and ice are available for purchase. Recycling bins are provided, otherwise campers are required to take their rubbish with them. Wi-Fi and Telstra coverage are available. Rainforest Gateway is located approximately 8klms along Grady's Creek Road, just 20 klms north of Kyogle and 15 klms from the Queensland border on the popular scenic tourist route, Lions Road. Kyogle is a bustling town with an IGA supermarket, lovely gift shops, cinema, bowling alley, and a selection of dining outlets. For those wanting to immerse themselves in nature, the Border Ranges National Park is a short drive away. PLEASE NOTE GOOGLE MAPS is not always correct. We CAN be reached on Gradys Creek Road off Summerland Way. The road closure is another 10+ klms further down the road. Feel free to message if you have any questions prior to booking :)

We had a very short stay as we had to leave early according to a little emergency at home. The host offered us a credit which we really appreciated. The camp kitchen and undercover area was cosy and well equipped. Showers and toilets clean.

Platypus Lookout - powered site 4

What an incredible spot! Clean amenities, great shower pressure, and a 15-20 minute drive to the walks at Border Ranges/start to the Tweed Valley Scenic Trail. Kitchen was top notch and the hosts are very accomodating and friendly. It really helps to have ice and firewood on hand. We usually camp at the National Parks for privacy, or just being in nature, but I'd say this was just as chill and honestly more comfortable. And if it's a rainy trip like ours, I'd definitely say this place is the better option for avoiding leeches alone! 10/10 - loved it.
