Camp 6 is on a ridge up the escarpment at about 580m elevation with stunning sunset views. It’s an ideal starting point to hike uphill to some impressive overhanging rocks and to the ridge separating our property from the Wet Tropics World Heritage area.
Camp 6 itself offers some great views, but hiking further up the escarpment will reward you with breathtaking panoramic views.

| anonymous | 4 | Nice set up in the mountain. Private and quiet. | swag | Pretty well. | Its better than most |
| Odette | 5 | We loved the elevated camp site and that you provided a toilet. We stayed for four nights and would of been happy to stay longer, it was private, peaceful and we definitely want to go back again! | small-tent | We couldn’t pitch the tent next to our vehicle as the ground was on a slight slope, but this didn’t bother us. We just pitched it on the flat section very close to our main set up. | Its one of the best |
| Peter | 5 | Very nice. Enjoyed the view. | large-tent | Good. Could be a touch more level nearer the fire pit for the tent, but it wasn’t bad and there was plenty of flat space slightly down slope. | Its one of the best |
| Michael Jeff | 5 | As above | large-tent | Windy at times but the view was great. We had a sturdy rv tent so we went with no worries. Everything went well | Its the best |
| Terence Purkiss | 5 | Very private, great views, all round loverly! | small-trailer | Perfect for our set-up, thanks | Its one of the best |
| Misha | 5 | Very private site with a beautiful view. Great spot to watch the sun set. We were unfortunately there while it was very windy, and so couldn’t use the fire pit because of the dried grass close by. If the weather was calmer, it would be a very nice spot to relax. | roof-tent | Plenty of flat land to park and set tent up. We unfortunately were unable to use our tent due to the wind and rain being very strong on the ridge. This is one of the costs of being up high in the property, and I can’t imagine there’s much that can be done to protect the site from the wind. | Its one of the best |
| SARAH | 5 | Heaven, up on the range, magical views. More shade than anticipated and was an exceptionally hot weekend ( 30-32 being unusual for the time of the year) but it was very comfortable . The sunsets are seriously awesome | large-tent | We re apprehensive about pitching the large tent when we had looked at the site previously but in reality | Its the best |
| Josephine | 4 | Clean, quite and awesome view. | medium-tent | Fine, nice and flat , plenty of shade. | Its better than most |
| simon | 5 | Very private, with lovely views, beautiful sunsets and good hiking | swag,medium-tent | Site was well suited to our two swags and three room tent and large tarp | Its one of the best |
| anonymous | 4 | Campsite 6 was excellent for views and privacy. Plenty of space too! | small-tent | It was hard ground for pitching the tent on and sleeping on. | Its one of the best |
| Peter | 4 | Privacy was good, good views, especially nice at sunset, toilet was good, level camp site, not near any water but to compensate good walk up the ridge line. Gives you something to do | medium-tent | No problems with camp site, good holding ground for tent pegs, not to hard to hammer in | Its better than most |
| Todd | 5 | It’s elevated so it has lovely views. | small-tent | Very good though a bit stony for the tents. | Its one of the best |
| Kathi | 5 | This is a really private camp site…. the view is amazing! It felt really good to be there! | large-tent | Perfect ! | Its one of the best |
| Paula | 5 | Very private, with access to great views and fabulous walking track | medium-trailer | All good | Its better than most |
| Michael | 5 | Great views, secluded, could even hear the falls in the distance. | swag,small-tent,large-tent | Plenty of space for the our tents and gazebo. Only thing I could suggest was next time you have the grader/bulldozer up there would be to level it out a bit more but that’s just a suggestion, it was fine as it was. [OUR COMMENT: thanks, done that :-)] |
Its better than most |
| Matt Palka | 5 | Nicely levelled, close to creek, nice view out over the valley | small-tent | Adequate for any size tent | Its one of the best |
| anonymous | 5 | Nice view, private, perfectly positioned camp fire site | small-trailer,roof-tent | No difficulties. | Its better than most |
| Caitlin | 5 | We loved it. Full privacy and a perfect view of the sunset. Even in winter it was quite hot during the day, so during summer we would definitely look at a site closer to water. However for winter this site was perfect. |
swag | It was perfect. We set up our awning and swag on the flat area about 10m from the fire pit. There was plenty of room. | Its one of the best |
| Bernadette | 5 | This is one of the best campsites we have ever stayed at. Well kept, well thought out, amazing views, lots of exploring, lots of relaxing, with a perfect view for stargazing and having sundowners. | roof-tent,small-trailer | Perfect. We were able to find a perfect sized space for the camping itself, away from the fire with space to spare. Perfect space also if we were to go with friends. No improvements necessary. | Its one of the best |
| Elyse Fitzpatrick | 4 | Privacy was great. View was amazing- a couple less branches and it would have been spectacular but it wasnt a long climb to the top of the hill for more viewing. Probably the one site that wasnt very shady but again we knew we picked an elevated campground and we had plenty of shade ourselves. | small-tent | Absolutely no issues with setup. It was easy to access, room for turning and maneuvering. | Its one of the best |
| Michael | 5 | 5 star because it is what it is. Natural wild high and breezy. Also has the essential toilet and fire pit. Nature at its best. Seclusion on a hill. | roof-tent,small-trailer | More than adequate flat areas. | Its one of the best |
