Creature comforts
Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.
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 540ac 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 for a taste of authentic camping Larapinta style. Oh and btw if you love bush camping but don't want to become a bush pig we have a hot shower & flushing toilet just for you. Please note; 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. 419 Christmas Creek Rd Laravale. Check us out at "Larapinta Campers & Cows" on Facebook and Google Maps.

Site 10 Great Southern Land - 4wd
12 person camping trip made easy!
I couldn't recommend laravale and site 10 more if I tried, from the landscape to the view it was amazing, the drive up to the laravale was very scenic and the town nearby had a great pub! The only thing I will say is to bring a shovel for all the cow poo!! Fortunately we thought ahead, but I feel bad for the people who didn't! Other than that, it was a very nice spot and wasn't too bad of a 4wd up. Will definitely be coming back!

Site 8 Fig Tree - 4wd
Better and Better Each Visit
2nd time I’ve been back and it gets better and better. Cameron is a great host. Site and amenities are fantastic - had a portaloo which was nice and clean, plenty of toilet paper & handwash. Highly recommend checking this out! Also since last time there has been signs put up advertising where the sites are - fantastic addition.

Site 3 Gorge - 4wd
Camping with cows
We enjoyed our weekend camping here and have listed some pros and cons from our perspective below, which may help others decide if this is for you: Pros: Cute baby calves that kept us entertained. Beautiful stars at night. Amazing views from elevated sites. Lots of grass trees, which we love. Spacious camp sites. Zero mozzies! Cons: You are likely to end up with cow 💩 on a lot of your gear. Sites aren't quite as private as we had hoped. No water in the gorge, despite recent rains, so it's not quite as pretty as pictured.

Site 7 Sundown - 4wd
Loved Larapinta
Cam was great ! Straight shooter and clear on what is expected! The camp site is awesome, cows roaming doing thier thing, awesome views. If it's wet listen to Cam and don't rip the beautiful property apart. Having a camp fire at the site (site 7 for us) was great. Firewood on site or bring your own. My wife an I genuinely had a great time and plan to go back ! A stock jimny (tyres and all) handled the trail to site 7 no stress in RWD however listen to Cameron's recommendations, his land and he knows it well ! Cheers heaps legend we appreciate you having us mate 👍🏽
