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.

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.

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.

Amaroo also known to some long time visitors as Snake Valley, is situated on a massive property and backs onto the Toonumbar National park.
The property sits at the top of a 2.7km dirt road to the top of a small mountain with incredible views of Mount Lindsay and Mount Barney. The owner (my dad) has spent over 30 years bringing the land back from blade glass to the early stages of rainforest through native seed propagation and bush regeneration.
After decades of keeping the land free from domestic and commercial animals, the native wildlife has had come back in abundance and is thriving.
Depending on the time of year you could see any number of wallabies, goannas, and echidnas, to countless varieties of birds and butterflies, small marsupials, koalas, micro bats, snakes, and even a few lone dingoes have been spotted from a distance during duck breeding season. Therefore we don’t allow dogs or cats to be brought onto the property.
Pitch your tent, or pull up your situation either on level gravel or in a grassy zone however close or far from the communal zone as you wish. The communal zone is made up of a shack with a kitchen sink and a BBQ (BYO BBQ gas or you will need to request as an extra), there is tank water and lights all running off solar, a big long bench table and stools for preparing food, underneath the pagola of this open shack is an indoor fireplace. 50m from the shack connected by gravel paths and garden beds is the hot gas shower and composting toilet, each in their own enclosed dwellings with lights. From the shack and where you camp you will have the best views of the mountains. You will be 100m-ish from the top main dam where you can swim (we just ask that you don’t remove the fish, yabbies or turtles from their homes). The level below the shack is the main house where the property owner lives, and the level below that is the motocross tracks. There are walking and bike paths down to the motocross tracks that avoid going past the main house, if you are riding or just want to go for a walk.
PLS NOTE you may be around other people during your stay at Amaroo. There is a small community of motorcross riders that access the private tracks and sometimes camp. If you wish to have the campsite to yourself please msg us before booking to make sure it will be exclusive. Most of the time this property is peaceful and filled with noises of birds and tree breeze, but there are occasions where the tracks will be in use. Motorbikes can get noisy!

The picture postcard views from the Jinbroken Range are all here awaiting your gaze from your own private camp-site.

Amaroo also known to some long time visitors as Snake Valley, is situated on a massive property and backs onto the Toonumbar National park.
The property sits at the top of a 2.7km dirt road to the top of a small mountain with incredible views of Mount Lindsay and Mount Barney. The owner (my dad) has spent over 30 years bringing the land back from blade glass to the early stages of rainforest through native seed propagation and bush regeneration.
After decades of keeping the land free from domestic and commercial animals, the native wildlife has had come back in abundance and is thriving.
Depending on the time of year you could see any number of wallabies, goannas, and echidnas, to countless varieties of birds and butterflies, small marsupials, koalas, micro bats, snakes, and even a few lone dingoes have been spotted from a distance during duck breeding season. Therefore we don’t allow dogs or cats to be brought onto the property.
Pitch your tent, or pull up your situation either on level gravel or in a grassy zone however close or far from the communal zone as you wish. The communal zone is made up of a shack with a kitchen sink and a BBQ (BYO BBQ gas or you will need to request as an extra), there is tank water and lights all running off solar, a big long bench table and stools for preparing food, underneath the pagola of this open shack is an indoor fireplace. 50m from the shack connected by gravel paths and garden beds is the hot gas shower and composting toilet, each in their own enclosed dwellings with lights. From the shack and where you camp you will have the best views of the mountains. You will be 100m-ish from the top main dam where you can swim (we just ask that you don’t remove the fish, yabbies or turtles from their homes). The level below the shack is the main house where the property owner lives, and the level below that is the motocross tracks. There are walking and bike paths down to the motocross tracks that avoid going past the main house, if you are riding or just want to go for a walk.
PLS NOTE you may be around other people during your stay at Amaroo. There is a small community of motorcross riders that access the private tracks and sometimes camp. If you wish to have the campsite to yourself please msg us before booking to make sure it will be exclusive. Most of the time this property is peaceful and filled with noises of birds and tree breeze, but there are occasions where the tracks will be in use. Motorbikes can get noisy!

Our property offers three camping areas. Creek Flat, Paddock Areas. and Prow View. Fire pits at all sites. Can purchase bags off wood at property bags $10. Cracking camp areas prior to or after walks. Or just kick back with family and friends put a camp oven on relax and enjoy the mountain air.

Recommend off-road or four-wheel-drive, on road vans can access but need to take it very slowly as there’s four water crossings with gravel and small rocks.

Guy and his family were amazing to deal with. Communication was on point. The greeting on arrival was so helpful. The site was spacious with incredible views. Amenities were clean. The animals on the property were a highlight. The walking tracks were perfect with amazing views on hop of the hill. We really enjoyed our time and would highly recommend. Guy and family were our best host to date ⭐️

Janine’s place was exactly as advertised – and even better. From the moment we arrived, Janine was a warm and welcoming host who made us feel completely at home.
The kitchen and toilet/shower facilities were perfect – clean, well set up, and everything you need for a comfortable stay while still enjoying the magnificent outdoors.
We spent a peaceful, tranquil weekend under the stars, surrounded by the spectacular scenery of Mount Edwards, which makes the setting feel incredibly special and secluded.
A highlight was meeting and patting the adorably cute one-eyed miniature pony – such a sweet little character 🐴
If you’re looking for a relaxing escape in nature with just the right facilities to add a touch of glamping to your experience, and want a property all to yourself, this is it!
I highly recommend this fantastic spot. We would absolutely return!!!

It was our second time camping at Guy's land and we always have the best experience. The sites are all private and beautiful. Beautiful sunrises. Plenty of farm animals to interact with. Guy and his family are the friendliest and most helpful.

Fantastic campsite with excellent amenities, including a hot shower and composting toilet. We loved relaxing around the campfire in the evenings. The host was friendly and helpful, offering plenty of great suggestions for exploring the surrounding area. There was some road noise at times, though it didn’t impact our overall enjoyment.

Kathryn and Phillip are the most welcoming & accommodating caretakers I could have asked for. Mystic adventures is absolutely magical and is the perfect place for a reset between traveling!
I highly recommend mystic adventures and I will definitely be back 🫶🏼

This place is not far from Brisbane and it is honestly one of the BEST spots I’ve ever stayed at!
It was SUPER, SUPER, SUPER good and so incredibly comfortable. I felt relaxed the whole time.
The host, Guy, was beyond friendly and welcoming – he made the whole experience even better. The views are beautiful, the toilets and showers are very clean, and there’s plenty of shade which makes it so comfortable to stay, even during the day.
There are also so many different animals around, which makes it really fun and special to explore the area.
Because it’s so close to Brisbane, I won’t just go back once — I’ll definitely go back ten more times!!!
Highly, highly recommend this place! 🌿🏕️✨

The place we originally planned to stay at was closed, so we came here at the last minute.
They treated us very kindly and were able to accommodate us with a same-day reservation.
She was truly kind and helpful.
The toilet and shower rooms were clean and well maintained, and at night we could enjoy a campfire while looking up at a sky full of stars.
We were very satisfied with our stay and truly grateful.

The reviews re the need for a decent 4wd are 100% accurate and some skill is required. The place is EPIC, I highly recommend.
It's private
Spacious
Beautiful
Fun
Can walk the whole day if you wanted too property is huge.
Plus has the good stuff like a hot shower etc which is always a win🙌
It got really hot, as it does in summer and there was a nice amount of shade, except for mid day but we got out on the trails!!
Hosts are awesome, very quick and easy to communicate with.
I have had this on my list for a while, and it exceeded every expectation.

I loved camping at Oz Sky Ranch with our Camper Trailer. We had site 39 with a few friends and it was a great big spot for the kids to play around in. There was a short walk down the hill and you could swim in the dam. Beautiful views & the sites were all kept nice. Looking forward to coming back 😀
