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 and able bodied. 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). 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 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/long weekends 3 nights minimum and 4 nights for the Easter holidays.

Tent site · Sleeps 8
Please note that camping at this site is for ADULTS ONLY with no pets (LGBT welcome), minimum four person booking. Tents and swags permitted but no vehicles at the site - parking space is 30 metres from the campsite. Therefore, no roof top tents. Camp in front of the waterfall and rock pool and the volcanic laval cliffs that frame it. Laura Dern featured in the global Sunsilk Shampoo commercial that was filmed here in 1998. Few people have had the opportunity to hear the harmonic sounds of the water falling into the deep rock pool or to see the lichen covered laval cliffs that reflect the light of the moon in the fresh mountain air. While natural beauty abounds, it is the effect on the senses that is hard to put into words. This is a very special place to camp in your tent or swag. Vehicles are not permitted down on the creek bank but can be parked 30 metres away. The parking area is two-wheel drive accessible. Please enter the number of adults (4 minimum ) and the number of nights by entering the dates (also 2 minimum excepting for long weekends which are 3 and Easter which is 4) and then the correct cost will be calculated and displayed To view all of our sites click on the link at the top of the page  - Natural Bridge Retreat.
