Eungella National Park is boarding the back of the property where the cloud rainforest and creek are located. Nights can be cold and rain sometimes unpredictable. We have a 150 acre property, 50 acres of which is rainforest with a magical creek winding through it.

    Wonderful, peaceful and private.
    6 m travel trailer
    This is a beautiful, quiet and peaceful place. Very well maintained. The creek is crystal clear and sounds so soothing especially at night when you’re drifting off to sleep. There’s plenty of room to stretch out and relax. There’s a fire pit and an old wood stove, so keeping warm and or camp cooking is a breeze. Tony can provide wood if needed for a modest price. The hiking trail is great and leads to a great water hole to swim in. It’s a little challenging but worth it when you get to the swimming hole. Make sure you wear appropriate hiking shoes and clothes. And take plenty of bug spray for ticks and leeches. Over all our new favorite camp.

    Cool and refreshing mountain escape
    5 m Class B
    Friendly and welcoming host. Picturesque, grassy site beside a rocky, flowing creek with clear mountain water. Shady walks through the rainforest, with opportunities to view a range of magnificent trees, birds, fungi etc. Listen to the sounds of the bush. Road out is steep, so may require low range to exit the property, depending on the weight of your camper, if towing.

    Perfect Tranquil rainforest to relax and unwind. I love the walking tracks, especially to be able to bring our fur baby to walk through the rainforest. We also saw a platypus!
