Incredible campsite tucked away in Eungella National Park An absolute must see in our opinion, it's incredible what Shayne and his team have put together accommodation-wise We stayed in our 2WD camper, although we were a bit nervous about the water crossings to get there, we were absolutely fine It's an easy walk to the gorge up the road to see the cascades, well worth the trip We didn't see a Platypus during our stay, but we definitely should have tried harder to see one As soon as we arrived, we wished we hadn't already booked accommodation for the next night, it's such a beautiful place to stay!
