Bush Camping & Campsites
Kookaburra Creek is a Wilderness Retreat. We are proud to have our Privately Owned Sanctuary listed as a member of the Wildlife Land Trust. We offer non-powered bush camping situated along the creek bed with stunning views of Mt Remarkable.
We are also proud to say- “We never over-book!” We provide a genuine Australian bush experience with peaceful and private campsites available, all at least 50+ metres apart. We have 3 group campsites catering for 3-4 camp setups per site, and 4 single sites.
Peaceful, secluded camping, away from the crowds, offering the ultimate family camping experience.
We wish for all our guests to enjoy a peaceful experience in the bush, therefor we ask that you leave your generators at home and respect our 10pm noise curfew.
