Stirling Range Retreat

Stirling Range Retreat is a private spot on Chester Pass Rd, close enough to the Stirling Range National Park to make it handy for hikers and nature lovers. It’s not a basic bush camp; you’ll find powered sites, cabins, and some glamping options if you don’t want to pitch a tent. The booking is by request, so you’ll want to sort that out well ahead, especially in peak season.

The facilities are decent for the area – expect hot showers, toilets, and a camp kitchen. It’s a bit off the beaten track, so bring what you need, especially if you’re picky about food or supplies. The surrounding farmland means flies can be a nuisance in warmer months, so pack some fly spray.

Parking’s straightforward, and the site caters to caravans and campervans, but check your rig’s length before booking. The retreat is a good base for tackling the Stirling Range hikes without staying right inside the national park, which is all basic camping.
