The Rapids
A real find
What a beautiful little spot! We came here with a small group of friends & had such a lovely time. The river is cool, refreshing & clean. It was quiet & we even managed to spot a few platypus in the river! Such a treat. Chris was so helpful but also allowed us our space. We will definitely be back.

This was our second visit to the rapids. Such a tranquil spot to spend a few days floating about in the river. The site is pristine. Chris is always helpful and quick to respond to questions and bookings. Can't wait to go back again.

Happy place with the platypus
Beautiful spot with lots of birds and platypus. It was a very hot weekend and we had plenty of shade from the trees and plenty of swimmimg spot for us and the dog. We were expecting to be a little more isolated, as from the campsite we can see a bridge, a road and a few small houses, but the road was very quiet and we only saw a few cars and tractors passing by in the 5 days we've been there. The place is very quiet, a part from birds songs and platypus spashes :) Chris the host is very helpful and gave us a tons of informations for finding the camping spot and lots of other useful details. Highly recommended!

The best spot weâve ever camped at. Thanks so much Chris for everything. The river is perfect and the campsite was so beautiful we couldnât believe how lucky we were. Only problem is we need to find another weekend to come back before winter comes around!

We had a great time camping at Platypus Pools in late January. The site was flat and private, with beautiful views over looking the river, where we saw platypus each evening (what a treat!). We spent hot days cooling off in the deep swimming hole, with shallow areas ideal for kids to paddle on the shore next to our camp. Plenty of space for our dogs to run and swim. Chris was a great host, made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely recommend!

Excellent secluded riverside camp!
Awesome secluded camp ground right beside the river. Host Chris and his son were awesome, dropping off firewood to the site and giving us some 4WD track recommendations to explore throughout surrounding state and national parks. Had a wonderful time and will most certainly be back.

Camping at Platypus Pools lived up to the name and was blissfully quiet, a peaceful break from the rat race. I highly recommend a stay at Chris's beautiful property.

If you are looking to escape this is the perfect place, no phone, internet, power or water. Nice shaded spot along the river, campfire at night. Classic country towns near by.

What a beautiful spot to relax for a few days. Nestled among the trees, and next to the river, The Dell is a lovely spot with ample parts of shade and sun. The access to the river was great!! The river was a beautiful place to cool down. We cannot wait to come back for another stay!! A big thank you to Chris, who responds quickly to any questions and is extremely helpful.

This is our second trip to Platypus pool. This time just with my husband. We had a lovely quiet spot right by the river with plenty of shade. We even saw a platypus scurrying up the bank. Well maintained area and Chris is always friendly. We will be back!

Hubby and I had a great 4 days at Platypus Pools recently . We set up camp at Cedar Glade , a gorgeous spot overlooking the river . Access to the river was easy and we spent much of our time keeping cool in the water . After spending over a week in a crowded coastal caravan park , this type of solitude and privacy was exactly what weâd hoped for. The weather was a little sketchy so we didnât get to see the night sky in all its glory , but it didnât stop us from enjoying evening fires. After getting Chrisâ platypus spotting tips, we were blessed to see a platypus several times in the early mornings!
Chris was very helpful, responsive and communicated clearly - it was all easy.
Weâll definitely be back to disconnect and recharge in this gorgeous part of the country.

We are first timers at platypus pools and only had other peoples reviews and photos to go by when booking. We werenât really sure what to expect but when we arrived⊠wow, were we met with an absolutely stunning & gorgeous site! We stayed at the site âThe Dellâ, which is so peaceful, tranquil with the amazing sound of the rapids. The site is flat, level and huge! It easily accommodated our 3 vans with plenty of space left over. It was lovely to meet Chris the owner, Chris was also very helpful and quick to respond when booking the site. We just had the best time at this site and we are already planning our next trip back. There are almost no other words to describe this place other than beautiful and stunning. We highly recommend this place if you are looking for a private, peaceful & tranquil holiday away from the rat race. We are definitely coming back. Thanks to Chris for allowing us to stay at your beautiful property. We all really loved it.

Camping with the animals!
Platypus Pools did not disappoint and it was everything we could have hoped for. Secluded, quiet, beautiful river frontage, platypusâ flipping on the banks looking for food, and the most beautiful bird life including an owl at night perched right near our camp. A great place to explore the surrounds, including the Upper Allyn and spectacular Ladies Well swimming hole, and Gloucester Tops and the beautiful falls. Many many walks possible and Chris and Angus were lovely hosts. Canât wait to be back!

Peaceful
We stayed in wrights camp at the rapids and it was incredibly peaceful and remote. We barely saw / heard any other campers. Chrisâ son Angus took the time to show us the cows and show us the rest of the property. We had a really peaceful and enjoyable time.

This was a very quiet, very relaxing getaway full of birdlife and at night, a sky full of stars. Spotting platypus and cooling off in the river were extra bonuses. Chris was very organised and helpful. Definitely recommend.
