    Very small and cramped, prices gone up drastically since new owners. It used to be affordable but not anymore

    Great spot on the creek. We were away from the base campground at a newish area. You can have power if required. Portaloo onsite where we were, we went to the main camp to use the rainforest showers.. prices have just gone up from $45 non powered. Not sure of new cost

    Under new ownership and it's the best it has been in 40 years :) Prices are $30 for a single person $40 for a couple and $50 for a family of 2 adults and 2 kids.

    This place is a slice of heaven. Words can’t describe it well enough so I’ll try to upload pics. Amazing treehuts, crystal clear water to swim in, hot rainforest showers (like nothing you’ve seen before), well equipped kitchen, communal fire pit, hammocks!!, small and friendly, and all of it spotlessly clean. The owner really cares about this place. It’s an easy walk from the beautiful gorge walks. Updated prices $30 single, $40 couple, $50 family Treehuts from $150

    Lovely spot, you can feel the owners' love and dedication for the place. Loved the rainforest showers, no hot water though. Platypus viewing pool, and option to swim in the creek. Kitchen facilities only for people in the huts, so bring a stove :).

    Amazing must see campsite! Wazza is such a nice and welcoming person, with a cute loyal dog that follows him. He has built a mini paradise away in the finch Hatton mountain. Just need to take it all in & relax away from you’re phone.

    Incredible camp in a rainforest wonderland! We saw heaps of wild platypus in the pools from the viewing spot. Swimming in the fresh water pool, rainforest showers, listening to the creek all night and a cozy communal campfire are all highlights of platypus camp! Wazza is an absolute character, making this place a must stay for Finch Hatton Gorge and Eungella National Park

    Very very very small, crowded and no room to spread out especially with social distancing. Camp spots are tiny. Try elsewhere

    It was my second time at this camp. It’s beautiful, in the middle of the forest. We did see some platypus! Thank you Wazza, I’ll be back! Watch out for spiders and snakes at night in the toilets/showers
