A special camping experience can be enjoyed at this spectacular location in QLD close to the NSW border for ADULTS ONLY i.e. 18 years and older. Lamington National Park adjoins this outrageously beautiful property that features the waterfall made famous by actress Laura Dern in the iconic Sunsilk shampoo commercial filmed here in 1998. (LGBT welcome). PLEASE NOTE: The Hipcamp service fee varies according to the amount of the booking. For one guest for one night the service fee is 18% approx. of the camp site fee. Bookings at Natural Bridge Retreat have to be for a minimum of two nights. As most bookings are for two or more people for two or more nights, the service fee is generally 11.2%. A beautiful creek descends through the 135 acres which includes rainforest that is listed as State significant vegetation. There is a deep swimming hole at the waterfall and other swimming areas up and down the creeks. You can hike to the upper plateaus that feature two ancient Strangler Figs with ocean views and a view of Mt.Warning as well as to the Bushranger Caves and lookouts higher up on the Lamington Plateau. Natural beauty is everywhere you look with mountain views, volcanic boulders and rock formations, Upland Rainforest and lots of wildlife. This is a property for nature lovers. Mobile reception (Telstra works the best), flushing toilets (ladies & gents), hot shower and campfires are permitted in designated locations - sorry no pets. We will e-mail further details upon receiving your booking including a link to a Release and Indemnity form that must be completed prior to entering the property and a link to a form to advise your vehicle type and camping mode. *All bookings must be for 2 nights minimum and in the peak periods 3 nights minimum and 4 nights for the Easter holidays.

The most beautiful camp spot ever
The most beautiful spot to camp. It feels like an honour to be at this property with its stunning waterfall and gorgeous hills. The owners are the loveliest people and very attentive and kind. Some of the the other campers could use a few lessons in etiquette when it comes to playing music. Its a magical spot with nature playing an overwhelmingly gorgeous part. My suggestion is to go there peacefully and quietly and let nature (and Keith) take care of the rest. It is Paradise.

Beautiful property to stay at, the owner Keith is an absolute champ - you can really tell he takes pride in the property and makes it a priority to ensure all campers are having a great stay. The waterfall is lovely to swim in and so refreshing. Keith let us know of the hike in the property up to an area with an amazing view of mount warning, we did that while we were there and the view was incredible - definitely wear closed in shoes as my partner accidentally stood on a snake on the way up - both parties weren’t injured 🐍😊 We will be back for sure! Thanks again Keith ☺️ xx

We came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Keith and Zandra were absolutely lovely and kept everything neat and tidy and clean. The waterfalls and creeks were breathtaking and we loved taking our morning coffee down to the Falls and sitting on a rock and just relaxing. We explored the other sites while we were there and although we loved this site there are others we would like to try out as well. Will definitely be back again.

If you're looking for an unforgettable camping experience, look no further than this amazing spot. From the stunning views to the peaceful atmosphere, everything about this place is simply incredible. Keith and Zandra are putting lots of effort into this place. The campsite is well-maintained and has everything you need to enjoy a comfortable and relaxing stay. We felt very welcome and didn’t want to leave after 2 nights. Highlight was the outside hot shower!! We will be back for sure.

Camping at natural bridge retreat
We pitched our tent at the strangler fig location at pear tree farm. Both Keith and Zander’s were helpful and accommodating to our needs, especially when we complained about the excessive noise coming from certain people at the sight. Each evening they came around with kindling for the fire. The property was spectacular and well kept. One of the highlights for me was the cows and seeing how well they were looked after. We certainly will be back.

Beautiful Property!!
We were tossing up whether to stay here on our journey around Aus as we were meant to travel to QLD sooner…. But thank god we did!! This place was one of the most beautiful camping spots we’ve been to on our trip. It was serene and peaceful and the hosts were super helpful and friendly. There is lots to do here like swimming in the water holes, hiking & visiting the caves. The sky is also a star gazers dream. Would highly recommend! Charlotte x

Amazing!
The most amazing camping experience at Natural Bridge Retreat. The grounds are so well looked after and the camp sites are spectacular. Plenty of beautiful swimming holes for everyone to enjoy. We stayed at the Big Fig site. Very private, plenty of shade and even had our own private access to some beautiful swimming holes. Keith and Zandra were very friendly and accommodating. We are already planning our next visit!

Just fantastic.
Absolutely stunning campsite, cannot recommend enough. Keith and Zandra are brilliant hosts, very responsive and helpful. Previous reviews have mentioned the site is gravel, I can confirm it is now very lush turf! Would not hesitate to recommend and will definitely be rebooking.
