Lovely spot close to home. Wide open sites for options of multiple vans. Grounds are clear of debris for casual activities. Very enjoyable Hipcamp overall with the Lakeview at your doorstep.

Stunning views, unreal camping experience. Best experienced in dry weather, the clay tracks make it impossible to come and go in the wet.

Lovely private site - no one within eyesight of our camp. 180 degree views were pretty too - looked great during the storm seeing the lightning in the distance. Be warned that the toilet is a fair walk - potentially a drive depending on how desperate you are :-)

Site 10. This was an awesome spot. Outdoor shower was great. Cows are very friendly. Pity the waterfall was dry. But we found the creek about a 10 min drive away. We will be back.

Idyllic spot right on the edge of lake. But all those sites around Lake are open to view of (almost) every other site. Great for families/groups.

Our stay at Larapinta was absolutely beautiful. The view from the campsite was beautiful. We got to watch the sunset every evening, and it was breathtaking. We even had some friendly visitors during our stay. Cows would wander by from time to time, and every morning a little bird would stop by to sing us a song to wake us up. It was such a lovely touch of nature. The road getting there is definitely rough, so make sure to take Cameron’s warnings seriously, especially if it’s been raining. Once we arrived, we really appreciated the privacy we had in the penthouse. Even when a storm rolled in, we still had an amazing time and made great memories. Thank you, Cameron, for sharing your beautiful land with us. We’ll definitely be back again in the future!

Property is beautiful. Cameron was a great host, and the tracks aren't particularly challenging if you have a capable 4WD. The track to the lookout was closed and after walking up I can see why, it's rough as. Will be coming back.

The Penthouse with the Outhouse is officially my new favourite campsite. The views were amazing. We were lucky enough to have an afternoon storm come through and the resulting sunset was stunning. Loved the bath tub - kept us cool on a hot day.

The penthouse provided the goods and all the feels! Birds eye view of an amazing property, gorgeous mountains and landscapes, sunsets, cute cows all from the best bath you could hope for! Such a peaceful environment with spectacular vistas and serenity for days 😊 4WD access only and plenty to explore on the property, or not if you just want to stay put and soak it up from the gorgeous heated bath! Great place to check out from it all as you look down on the world! Good host, all you need available on site and sites well maintained!

We loved our stay at Larapinta — peaceful, heaps of space, and the mountain air was unreal. All the instructions were sent by SMS beforehand, so we could head straight to camp — super easy. We stayed at Site 9, which definitely needs capable 4WD access and a bit of clearance, but it’s an easy climb if you know what you’re doing. The view was the absolute highlight — wide open and stunning, especially at sunset. The site was private with plenty of room for the 76 setup. Perfect place to unwind, have a fire, and soak up the quiet. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the Scenic Rim!

This is an amazing property ! We picked site 7 and it was truly an experience we won’t forget, from the sunset, the serenity, the campfire and the visitors ie the baby cows that were inquisitive and friendly. The facilities were good especially the double shower with the most amazing views. 5 stars. We met the host a true Aussie and a friendly guy. We will be back. Thank you Cameron.

We found this to be a good campsite with awesome vista of the range. It is, however, very much an off-road 4X4 site. Amenities for the women is a bit of a challenge. Too far to walk to toilet & shower, especially after sundown, but a short 10 minute drive by a 4-wheel drive vehicle. Plenty of off-road track to explore but not for the faint-hearted. Recommended for a convenient off-road getaway.

Beautiful views, excellent directions and the campsites are very well spaced out providing your own privacy. Will definitely be returning in the future
