Escape the pressures of everyday life and reconnect with nature—without the crowds. If the idea of camping alongside dozens of noisy neighbours and questionable playlists doesn’t appeal to you, then pack your swag and head to Larapinta in the heart of the Scenic Rim. Out here, the only soundtrack you’ll hear is the gentle crackle of your own campfire. Take in postcard-worthy views of the Jinbroken Range from your own private campsite. With just 12 sites spread across 540 acres, each separated by a few hundred metres and connected by 4WD tracks, you’ll have plenty of space to truly unwind. Wander along kilometres of old cattle tracks where 500-year-old grass trees stand quietly waiting to greet those who prefer the feel of the earth beneath their feet. Book your secluded spot today. Oh and if you love bush camping but prefer not to live like a bush pig, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered with a hot shower and a flushing toilet. 🚿🌿🔥 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.

A little bit of Larapinta luxury perched on a hill with a backdrop of scenery that will take your breath away. Get lost in the serenity of the setting sun while relaxing in your own private hot tub on the tray of Bad Betty. You will require a 4WD to reach this awesome location.

Larapinta offers a tranquil escape with stunning views and a sense of seclusion, ideal for groups or solo travelers seeking privacy. Most campers praise the well-maintained facilities and easy-to-follow directions. While the views are breathtaking, some sites can be windy or lack shade, and the shower facilities are a bit of a drive from certain campsites. Overall, the campsite is a favorite among return visitors for its beauty and solitude.

Site 2 Plateau - 4WD
Absolutely stunning spot at site 2 Plateau. The ground is uneven, and slopes down hill so keep that in mind. Otherwise, the entire property is well maintained, with the designated campsites being well spaced out, out of view from each other. The tracks into the spot are trivial to a driver who has eyes, but only accessible with 4WD. Highly recommend.

Site 2 Plateau - 4WD
What an amazing stay, we stayed at site 2 with our camper trailer, the view is amazing, the privacy of this site is great with its position to the main access tracks being a little more out of the way. The amenities at the shed were clean and comfortable, with a flush toilet, hot shower, and even some kitchenette facilities that could be very helpful depending on your camping set up. Finding your site is super easy with the maps and signage on the tracks. The only thing I can see to be mindful of is access on the tacks could be interesting in wet conditions - this is already covered in the information given on the Hipcamp listing. We will definitely be back! A great place to unwind and relax. Thank you so much to Ashley and Belinda for sharing this amazing area for us to enjoy.

Site 5 Eagles Nest - 4WD
Pros: - Amazing view, we at campsite 5, right toward the sunset. 3 mins walk to a lookout where you have a sweeping 270-degree panorama and a bench. amazing for sunset. - Well separated campsite. - The shower is simple but water is hot with great water pressure. I had a really nice shower. - Toilet is more modern and clean. - Host very helpful with the information and guide. and responsive! Cons: (only if you are camping newbie like us! more like a reminder) - not a lot of shade at our site. a Gazebo would be amazing. - It got super windy after the sunset, only lasted for less than one hour though. - Campsite 5 is very far away from the stables, up to 15mins drive I would save (we drove slow at night). If you are not self-sufficient like us and need access to shower, water, and toilet, it would be a bit tricky. - If you plan to rely heavily on the camp kitchen facilities, keep in turn that they are completely self-service and not particularly well-maintained.
