The Natural Experience Immerse yourself in our thriving local ecosystem. The property is a haven for native wildlife; keep a quiet eye out for our resident platypus in the creek, or spot kangaroos, wallabies, turtles, and native birdlife throughout the day. As the sun sets, the bush comes alive with the sounds of owls, possums, bandicoots and the crackle of a campfire (permitted in designated firepits, subject to local restrictions). Creek-Side Relaxation Cool off in our dedicated swimming hole—a beautiful, natural spot perfect for a refreshing dip. To protect our delicate aquatic environment and our resident platypus, please note that fishing is not permitted on the property. Facilities & Access We aim to provide a secluded and comfortable yet authentic "off-grid" feel: Amenities: Every campsite is equipped with its own dedicated toilet for your convenience. Please remember to bring your own toilet paper. Navigation: We are well-signed and easily found on Google Maps. We recommend loading your maps while you still have mobile service to ensure a smooth arrival. Vehicle Access: The property is 2WD accessible in dry weather; however, we recommend 4WD during wet conditions - mainly for Stony Camp access. Feel free to contact us for a track update before you head off. Experience the beauty of the Scenic Rim at Sarabah Stud—your quiet, family-friendly home in the bush.

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
This campsite is a serene escape nestled by a trickling creek, offering spacious, private sites surrounded by nature. Guests consistently praise the clean facilities, including individual toilets, and the welcoming hosts. Wildlife is a highlight, with frequent sightings of platypus, turtles, and a rich array of birdlife adding to the charm. While a few have noted the cost, the tranquility and beauty of the setting make it a favorite destination for many campers.

The camp spot is great. They have portaloos for each site and they are clean. The creek was very refreshing and cool to swim in. Unfortunately we didn’t spot any platypus but the lookout is an amazing view. I felt a bit ignorant. Not having looked up that there was a fire ban but the hosts acted quickly and were very polite. I look forward to revisiting

another wonderful trip to Sarabah Stud Camping. Such a breathtaking place. The only thing that would be better would be if it was pet friendly.

Enjoyed a relaxing rest at Sarabah Stud. Excellent property, great mountain views, beautiful creek passing through, with many turtles - we didn't see any platypus' though. Recommended for those looking for a relaxing peaceful break.
