If you are looking for the perfect setting to pitch your tent, then look no further than Rubicon Valley. This historic area is home to natural waterfalls, scenic campsites, hiking trails and is a popular haven for native birdlife. Steeped in history, the beautiful Rubicon River serves up a series of spectacular trestle bridges set amongst remnants of the timber industry.

It comes with its own spectacular viewing platform that is fixed to a steep rock face on the side of the falls, jutting out in front of the cascading water.
