With a new eco-billabong being built this is now home for 100’s of local birds when it’s not being used by guests.
There is a medium ropes course for the kids, with archery always a hit with the kids. Plenty of new mountain biking trails for all levels of riders from beginners to advanced. The creek is a lot of fun for the kids to have a safe place to swim and play with dogs. Hiking around through the canyon tops and seeing all the local fauna or flora is an authentic way to see the Australian bush in all it’s natural beauty. There are horses on-site for guests to feed and interact with making it like a family farm stay.
Family campers now have access to an impressive range of activities and amenities. There are also different options to suit different families, including both powered and unpowered sites, rental tents and campers. Murphy’s Creek Escape is also both dog and horse friendly, provided guests comply with our campground policies.
