Nestled amongst the hills just off the Larapinta Trail, these semi-permanent wilderness camps offer a relaxing and comfortable stay in remote locations.
Our exclusive eco-comfort camps are fully set up, so there is no need to worry about pitching or packing away tents. Each site has a large, covered area in which to relax at the end of a day of walking, with lounges, dining table and kitchen. Beside this shady communal space is our campfire, the perfect place to gather as the sun sets.
The toilet facilities are clean and comfortable. All toilet waste goes in to a composting tank, ensuring the environment is protected. There are simple shower facilities: a bucket of water heated over the fire is strung up, providing a few minutes of wonderful hot shower. All water is brought in by tanker as there are no suitable local water sources in the arid ranges.
The safari-style tents offer plenty of room for two people and gear. Luggage should be kept in the tent at all times, preventing dingoes from taking shoes and other items.
If you book as a single traveller you will receive a free upgrade to your own private tent.
You sleep on a stretcher bed in a swag. The stretcher beds raise you 40cm off the ground and offer a firm, flat base for the comfy swag mattress. The swag is a 5cm thick foam mattress inside a canvas cover. We provide a cotton fitted sheet, pillow, and pillowcase which you keep for the entire trip. You can take your swag outside the tent and sleep under the stars if you are looking for that real outback experience.
Sleeping bags are essential for warmth. You can bring your own or hire from us - please contact our team if you would like to hire one at least 14 days prior to your departure. A sleeping bag liner will be provided if you are hiring a sleeping bag. Most groups are made up of a mixture of single participants and couples. If you are travelling independently you will will have your own tent at no additional cost.
At the campsites you can charge devices through USB ports in the lounge area. Ports are very limited and shared between participants. Charging is via solar panels so can take longer than usual. We suggest bringing portable power chargers or fully charged spare batteries as back-up for your devices.
You will be required to help with washing up your cups, dishes, etc after breakfast and dinner.

Trekking
Since 1995 - when we pioneered the first commercial trek on this iconic desert trail - we’ve continued to lead the way on the Larapinta. Our exclusive network of four architect-designed Eco-Comfort Camps are positioned along the trail to support a genuine through-walking experience.
On this Larapinta walking itinerary, you stay in three of them - each offering new views & a fresh perspective of Country. The benefit of more camps along the trail is less backtracking back to the same camp after every day’s walk.
This fully supported trek with the Larapinta pioneers covers more of the Larapinta Trail than most - offering approximately 69.5km (43mi) of the most spectacular terrain along the official 223km trail.
From the high quartzite ridgelines of the West MacDonnell Ranges to the towering walls of Ormiston and Serpentine Gorge, you’ll be immersed in a landscape shaped by time and rich in natural contrasts. Discover permanent waterholes, dramatic escarpments and the shifting desert palette of Simpsons Gap and Standley Chasm.
Your final ascent of Rwetyepme / Mt Sonder is a true highlight - and a dawn ascent is the only way to end this amazing walk. At 1,380m (4,528ft), it’s the highest point on the trail. Setting out before dawn from our nearby Eco-Comfort Camp base, you’ll reach the summit in time to watch the sunrise spill across the landscape you’ve spent days walking. Hiking Sonder for sunrise is the most rewarding way to do it - quiet, cool, and, quite simply, unforgettable.
Each night, you’ll stay at one of our multi-award winning Eco-Comfort Camps. Created by architects and purpose-built for this environment, they include hot showers, private off-ground safari tents, heated dining shelters and sustainable design features throughout. The placement of our camps allow for no backtracking and no long daily transfers, you get more time to enjoy the experience - and the views you came to see.
Our guides are experienced, passionate and deeply connected to the land. They’ll prepare gourmet 3-course dinners and ensure each day on the trail is both achievable and memorable. From start to finish, your journey is supported by decades of operational excellence and care.
We’ve won seven Brolga Northern Territory Tourism Awards since 2016 - including Adventure Travel and Ecotourism in 2024 - and we’re proud to be members of the Great Walks of Australia. But what matters most is the feedback from the thousands of walkers who choose this trip every season.
If you’re going to walk the Larapinta Trail once, make it count and travel with the Larapinta experts since 1995.
