Great campsite in the middle of nature. There are only 8 pitches, book in advance via the Queensland Government website. The toilets are amazingly clean and completely fine, there are no showers, it's just a bush camp. In just a few minutes you can reach various short hiking trails into the rainforest and to the platypus viewing platforms. We also saw turtles, kookaburras and monitor lizards. We only had cell reception in Eungella itself, not here.
Beautiful spot, the road to get here was a little rough in our motor home but we made it. Just watch out for the leeches, eek!!
We were here in May 2024. Eungella means land in the clouds. So it is wet and several degrees colder than in Mackay. This is a bushcamp. The sites are pretty close side by side and there are only two hybrid loos. But we sat in our camper and observed a platypus in the river through the car windows. That compensates a lot. However we left as early as possible to find a dry and more luxury place.
Fine campsite, easy to spot the platypuses and some nice rainforest nearby to watch birds. we also saw some rock wallabies hopping around near the path As this is a park camp site you need to book this in advance. You can do this using the wifi at the small cafe next to the information center, but atm it's only open from 10am-3pm on fri-sun!
Wow! Toller Platz direkt am Fluss mit den Schnabeltieren. 3 Aussichtspunkte innerhalb 1km Entfernung zum Schnabeltier entdecken. Abfahrt könnte aufgrund der Steigung für sehr große Mobile schwierig sein.
It is a nice little camp with a lot to see around. We came in the afternoon and saw a few platypus from the viewing deck. It is a rainforest area so be aware that there are mosquitoes and leeches around. We did the walk in the morning and saw some platypus in the river again. For two people it was 14$.
Book in advance! No reception! Ranger come to check. Clean toilet :) In the middle of the nature, lots of animal noises, unfortunately lots of mosquitos and if you do the walk be careful about the leechs. They attacked my fiancé but we saw lots of birds and platypus :) Welcome to the rainforest.
We hadn't booked and the computer ?️ wasn't working due to the storm ⛈️ and the rain ☔️ ?️. Luckily a guard allowed us to stay anyway. Beautiful place by the river. We slept like kings. Not a sound except that of nature. Toilets ? clean. Watch out for black ? snakes Watch out ⚠️ leech ?. Tested for you it hurts and it bleeds. We saw plenty of platypus even from the deck. There are platforms set up to see them. You have to be patient. The best time: at sunrise ?. The light is fabulous. Pascal & Pascal ??
Lovely and peaceful spot. Toilets fine. Camp by the riverside for evening and morning wildlife: we saw platypus, turtles, an echidna and hunting kingfishers. Also heaps of fireflies just after sunset, and so many stars! Book in advance through government NP website.
Love this place, spotted cute platypus in the morning from our tent. We have our own hanging shower, we used boiled water to have hot shower. Be aware of the leeches when you walk into the rainforest across the river (they really love me, but not my hubby?).
