Primitive camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

If you looking for the perfect place to relax in nature then this is where you'll find it. Platypus Pool campsite offers a very private spot overlooking the water. We currently only have one site so you will have the place to yourself. The creek borders the Tully Falls National Park with many huge Eucalyptus trees and rainforest species, moss laden logs and fungus galore in the wet. Wildlife ranges from birds, frogs, butterflies, gliders and possums. Guests are required to be fully self sufficient with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. There is no reception for phones etc at the site. Campfires are welcome in the fire pit provided but please check restrictions before lighting a fire. Platypus are regularly seen in the creek and occasionally tree kangaroos visit the property too. We have our own house cow and chooks who are part of the family.

Platypus Pool

Stunning clearing among tall trees and right by a lovely creek. Simone will show you to the site and tell you about walks around the property and local platypus. Peaceful and private. I can't wait to visit again.

Platypus Pool

The host was very welcoming and the site was private and peaceful. We saw platypus and plenty of birds. We will definitely stay here again.

Platypus Pool

Stunning spot

Selfishly a reluctant review because people will now know about our favourite camp. Simone was a great host and the location was ideal. The clearing is totally isolated with direct creek access. The creek is beautiful and deep for swimming. The trees are the best bit about the place. We will be back.
