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.

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.

Figtree Farm has an abundance of bird and animal life. Here, tranquillity reigns, save for the occasional serenade of our friendly neighbourhood donkeys and the odd rooster. If you wish to wander further afield, Wiangaree is 15 minutes away and Kyogle is a 30 minute drive south. For those who enjoy a game of tennis there is an all weather tennis court (with lights) nearby at Bundgeam Hall.

We had a wonderful stay at Bindarah Downs! The creekside site was spacious, providing ample room for our group to relax and enjoy. The creek was flowing and added a beautiful touch to the surroundings, though it had receded since our last visit and wasn’t quite deep enough for swimming this time. The hosts were warm, welcoming, and always helpful.

This place is phenomenal. The surrounding area and views are stunning, the grounds are very well kept and tidy. On site toilets are clean and the provided hand soap is a nice touch.
We were not bothered once during our camp, and felt very comfortable.
Had so much fun exploring along the creek and dipping our feet in.

Great spot for families and pets- unfortunately some camp goers do not care about other people and continued loud partying throughout the night. Other than that was lovely- creek is great fun, views are perfect. Would prefer designated sites however as it was a bit of a cluster mess trying to find a spot

The grounds and amenities were very well kept and Barry was a great Host. We had a caravan and arrived on Saturday morning for a one night stay. Unfortunately it made getting a flat site a little tricky, but apart from that a great weekend. Running Creek across the road was gorgeous and a great place for a cool dip.

Highly recommend Bindarah Downs Bush camp. Shayne is a very welcoming host, the camping area is so well maintained. ( I believe we have Kim to thank for the well mown grass🙂). We stayed down by the running creek, under the shade of the trees & had a lovely walk around the property.

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.

Our second stay at Christmas Creek Bush Retreat was just as incredible as the first. The property is absolutely stunning, with large, spacious, and well-positioned sites that feel private and peaceful. The host’s communication was excellent, and we were lucky with beautiful weather, which made the trip even better. We brought friends along this time and they had an amazing experience too. Definitely one of the best sites we’ve stayed at in the Scenic Rim through Hipcamp — we’ll absolutely be back!

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 😀

Sarabah Creek Camping is honestly one of the most amazing spots we’ve stayed at. It’s so close to the Gold Coast, yet it feels completely peaceful and secluded.
The campground is beautiful, it was incredible to fall asleep to the sound of the water and the creek was so fresh to swim in. The site feels very private, the bathroom was clean and it was easy to access the campsite!!
You can tell a lot of care goes into maintaining the grounds and making sure guests have a great stay.
Sarabah Creek Camping is an absolute gem. We’ll definitely be back!
