About this campsite

Staircase Range Lookout offers a breathtaking view of the uniquely shaped sandstone escarpment. Visitors to the site can enjoy the tranquil beauty of nature along a trail leading into a secluded bush area, perfect for self-contained camping. With a commitment to conservation and uninterrupted serenity, this spot serves as an ideal destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat or an adventurous hike. Please note there are no facilities available and visitors are urged to walk the trail in advance before bringing camping gear.

Staircase Range Lookout is a prized locale recognized for its natural, sandstone escarpment's unique staircase shape. This location also features a track extending 250m into the north-west bush from the lookout. This track serves as a captivating trail for viewers and a perfect camping spot for overnight adventures. However, as the track ventures into wilderness, campers are advised to be utterly self-contained due to the lack of facilities. It's recommended to reconnoiter the path before bringing larger vehicles or camping equipment in. An orientation marker, the blue pin, provides GPS coordinates for guidance, ensuring a seamless experience blending exhilarating exploration with untouched nature's serene grandeur.
