Platypus Bend
Loved our stay! One of the best campsites we’ve ever visited. Beautiful forest with a pretty stream winding its way around and a resident platypus family. Peaceful and you wouldn’t know anyone else exists

Really enjoyed our 2 nights camping in a ground tent. Peaceful and plenty of room and we’re lucky to see the platypus on 3 occasions. Communication with host Alan was easy and directions easy to follow. Would definitely recommend

Beautiful land to escape to, great area for little ones to run around as well. Falling to sleep with the sound of running water 👍🏼

If a platypus has chosen to live there, you know it’s going to be peaceful. Completely protected from wind & road noise & you’re surrounded by the creek on 3 sides. Couldn’t be happier! Will book again if back in the area.
