Our Opinion
Platypus Point is about half way between Casino and Tenterfield, with both being abut 50 min to 1 hour drive away. The small town of Tabulam is about 10 minutes away heading towards Casino.
After spending the last few months in caravan parks, this place was a definitely a change of pace. Quiet, plenty of space, and secure, we liked it. It was a little bit unfortunate about the weather, storms most afternoons, we would definitely stay here again.
At $20/night, we consider this to be reasonable cost. You do have to be self contained though, as nothing is provided. The hosts were friendly and helpful, allowing us to walk around and pick the site we wanted as we were the only ones there.
We opted, due to the unpredictable weather to stay up higher, closer to the road. There is not much road noise and the site was reasonably level. The track to the lower level by the river looks steep and tight for a caravan, the hosts assured us other caravans have been down there. Also the lower level will be sheltered from the wind, if you want the breeze then this is not the place to be.
Starlink will have a few trees to dodge, we found a good location with a clear view of the sky facing south. We didn’t find Telstra to be very good, especially with the data, slow and dropping out. This may be a deal breaker for some people. Solar seemed to work ok, but due to the days being overcast, we could not confirm this.
Overall, considering everything this campsite is highly recommended.
