Augusta, WA · 22 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Grass Roots Deepdene is an area on private property designated for gatherings, wellness, nature immersion and camp overs.
The land is beautiful, rural and gently undulating with views over the valley. There is some dappled shade from native trees, it is protected from the harsh winds in winter, there are often amazing stars at night and blessed with the rising sun.
In a biodiverse hot spot, where the forest meets the ocean, we are less than 10 mins to the Blackwood River, the fishing town of Augusta, and a little bit further is Flinders Bay and Cape Leeuwin lighthouse.
Less than 1km in the other direction, you can discover the wonder of Jewel Cave, 10 mins to the world renowned Hamelin Bay Beach and 15 mins you can find yourself deep in the beauty of Boranup Forest.
The adventures in nature, fun and activities in this area are endless, and we are also blessed to have amazing local restaurants, cafes, wineries and local arts scenes in the region.
If you are looking to stay in a tranquil and peaceful setting away from the concrete and crowds, this may be the place for you. And please note, we are not a caravan park, far from it, we are rustic, humble, spacious and natural.
If you wish to bring pets with you, dogs are permitted, but only if they are well behaved, do not stray and are not too noisy. Best to check with us first.
We treat this space as a peaceful sanctuary and uphold that as a foundation in our approach to anything and everything.
If you are travelling, and need a place to stay, we can offer stay up to 5 x nights at this property with a booking via hipcamp or for more information regarding Grass Roots Deepdene and what we offer, please email grassrootscamp@proton.me or message/ call 0479 055 411.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Laravale, QLD · 14 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Do you want to break free from life's constraints? Feel like getting back to nature but not too keen on sharing it with fifty other campers, their yapping dogs and their terrible taste in music. Then pack your swag and head to "Larapinta" in the heart of the Scenic Rim where the crackling of your campfire is all you'll hear.
The picture postcard views from the Jinbroken Range are all here awaiting your gaze from your own private camp-site. There are only 12 sites, all a few hundred metres from each other, linked by 4WD tracks spread over 540 acres. 500 year old Grasstrees are waiting to greet those who prefer the feel of the earth under their feet and can be found as you meander along the km's of cattle tracks.
So book your secluded spot now, oh and btw if you love bush camping but don't want to become a bush pig we have a hot shower and a flushing toilet just for you.
Please note: the tracks at Larapinta are definitely 4wd only, they are not smooth nor flat and if you struggle to read maps and understand directions given in English then Larapinta is possibly not for you. Price is per person not per site.

The view is spectacular. Absolutely stunning.
The campsite is incredible. We’ll set up with shade, fire pit, portaloo and cleared land, enough for plenty of tents, swags or camp trailers. The bath tub was amazing, nice and hot with the best view in the valley.
Road in and out was a bit of fun. Easy enough for novice 4x4 drivers but not to be underestimated.
We had an amazing stay and will definitely be doing it again.

Beautiful campsite with some of the best views we experienced in the region. Amenities were clean, practical, and appreciated after long days exploring. A short drive to Christmas Creek where you can swim in the creek. Sites are spaced well apart. Highly recommend having experience with a proper 4wd though. Ruts are deep and the journey up to the look out isn’t for a basic road vehicle with highway tires… lots of birds, butterflies and kangaroos 🥰

Location and value for money and only 2 other solo female campers so felt safe. Ranger helpful and escorted me to my spot. Brand new toilets and showers with lights on all night. Unfortunately total fire ban in place so couldn’t cook and there was a big fire pit (shared) used boiling water from the Scout kitchen. Only con was a bit of road noise from Hearn Road.

Beautiful location that was easy to find and the facilities were amazing. We had a powered site for a caravan and it had everything easily accessible. We brought dogs and tucked ourselves in a corner and had just an amazing time. Value for money and the view is to die for. Will definitely be back. Thank you for a great stay.

A great little campground near the creek. I felt a little disoriented by the signage as there didn’t seem to be any signs saying “Tyalgum Showgrounds” but I trusted google and I arrived safely and at the time I expected. The office staffer was super friendly despite being pulled pillar to post. Check-in was simple since I paid via Hipcamp. Bathrooms were clean and showers were hot! The dump point saved me some extra kms on the way home, too! The grassy camp site was perfect for having my doggos with me (extra glad the mowing was done a week prior so most of the cuttings had blown away).

Clean basic campsites with option of open area or wooded site ( pine trees great, stay away from gum trees esp on windy days, saw a few large branches drop). Friendly, laid back, hands off staff.
Honeyeaters, magpies, parrots, grey butcherbirds and owls around camp.
Rustic but fun mini golf, bikes, included in booking fee. Good value for money. Close to beach and shops (short drive). Accessible by public transport ( Frankston Bus).

Great campsite at Sundown! Had awesome views, particularly for sunset, and even with other sites nearby, you felt like you were alone. A 4WD is required to explore the tracks around the property. Amenities were awesome - the shower shed was a quirky and fun touch!

The best star host camping in Australia guide
Where to go
New South Wales
New South Wales has a bit of everything that makes Australia such a great place to camp. Hipcampers can choose from snow-covered mountains, beaches, rainforest, and Outback plains—you can always find a good camping spot in NSW.
Queensland
Australia’s favourite place to escape the cold, the white-sand beaches north and south of Brisbane in southeast Queensland are warm enough to swim in all year-round. It may be too wet in summer to camp comfortably in the rainforest of Cairns, the Tropical North, and along the Great Barrier Reef, but winter is the best time to swim in the sea. The Outback, too, is at its best in the cooler months.
South Australia
A wild, dramatic, and mostly deserted coastline, South Australia’s rugged outback ranges and fantastic wine are just a few reasons to pitch a tent or park your caravan here. It may not always be swimming weather (the ocean waters are cold), but the beach camping here is some of the best in Australia.
Tasmania
Any time's a good time to visit Tasmania, a place that will delight intrepid Hipcampers with its wild and remote national parks and camping sites. You'll need a warm sleeping bag and good wet weather gear, as it can snow on the peaks near Hobart even in summer. But don't let a little dampness put you off, because it rains here all the time, which is why the World Heritage wilderness areas are so beautifully lush.
Victoria
Just down the road a bit from Melbourne, Victoria’s Great Ocean Road is a bucket-list road trip that lives up to the hype, with some of the best coastal camping areas around. Hiking and camping in the Grampians is good year-round, although the snow-covered high country peaks and the east coast national parks are best saved for the warmer months.
Western Australia
Western Australia is huge, so don’t expect to see it all in a couple of weeks. Let the weather be your guide and explore the coastal national parks, forests, wineries, and beaches south of Perth during the hot, dry summer, then head north to Broome and the Kimberley for a 4WD camping adventure in winter, when it rarely rains.
Northern Territory
When the wintertime chills hit the south, the Northern Territory is the place to be, especially if you’re fond of campervan road trips. The deserts of the Red Centre offer warm, fly-free days and cold nights ideal for gathering around the campfire. Kakadu National Park and the Top End are hot and dry—perfect for swimming.
