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

We had the most beautiful time at this property! Lush green grass and trees surrounded us with multiple refreshing water holes to cool off in Both hosts were very helpful and welcoming, they even brought us kindling for a fire and fresh eggs for breakfast It felt like we were in a world of our own, could not recommend this property more!

Great, relaxing weekend away
We had a great weekend at the Natural Bridge Retreat. The property is even more breathtaking in person with incredible views, clean amenities, a beautiful waterfall/swimming hole that we never wanted to get out of, and Keith was a perfect host. We can’t wait to visit again with our friends and family.

Waterfall Escarpment
This is honestly the best and most magical campsite we’ve ever been lucky enough to stay at! We stayed on waterfall escarpment which feels very private and with the waterfall below and nature surroundings it feels out of this world. Thank you both, we will be back!

Had the most amazing stay at Natural Bridge Retreat. Not only were Keith and Zandra both so accommodating and were excellent hosts. But the property!! Oh my goodness, so incredibly stunning. The waterfall is better than the photos, and my partner and I spent a whole day with the beautiful fresh swimming holes to ourselves. Sites are very well maintained. Toilets clean. And the outdoor hot shower was a treat. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much for having us!
