Little Roper Stock Camp

Absolutely loved our 2 nights here! Very laid back, family friendly camp ground with lots of animals. At 9am, kids can hold snakes, rabbits, lizards, turtles & feed the buffalo, cows, chickens & pigs.Don't miss the 8am Jonny cakes either, absolutely delicious & a great way to meet other travelling families sitting around the long table eating breakfast together.No bookings at the moment, get in early & wait for reception to open at around 10. Usually a bit of a line up during high season, but you can jump out & the kids can play while you wait.Easy access to Mataranka homestead for the whip show & thermal pools, plus Bitter Springs is very close by as well.Highly recommend!!

Awesome low key place for the family. Can buy fresh cooked bread or johnny cakes during the week in the morning! Plenty of animals and reptiles for the kids to hold and look at. We liked it so much we stayed another night.

Our kids loved the experience of Little Roper Stockcamp. Johnny cakes ($2each) for breakfast with Billy tea, patting various reptiles (pythons, blue tongue lizards, baby turtles) and bunnies. The haystack playground complete with moveable slides and a rope swing. We did the stock man's dinner ($40pp) for the adults and tried the 'bush oysters' cooked traditional style on the shovel over coals. The kids were invited for dessert and got to participate in the squirrel glider feeding. Well situated to be a short drive into town and both thermal springs.

What a beautiful welcoming place. Des and his Helper made sure we were all looked after.Great advice.Johnny cakes and billy tea are amazing!Reptiles and animals the kids loved

Great place fabulous crew beautiful atmosphere.Lots of kids having the time of their lives.

Stayed there in August this year 2022. Great place! Loved the host Des (true bushy) and loved his Johnny cakes. We didn’t have kids with us but all the kids that were there looked like they were having a great time especially with the animals. We didn’t have the camp fire dinner only because we already had food we had to eat but it looked and smelt delicious. Would definitely go back.

A true blue Aussie experience, great for families, loved it.Curry night, wow. Billy tea and Johnny cakes. A.must try. And pizza nights .Be seeing you again.

We had a wonderful time at Little Roper Stock Camp. From the moment we met Des we felt welcomed. We really appreciated the time Des took not only walking us around the park when we arrived, but also the assistance he gave by providing us equipment to assist us in our search when we lost a very special ring in Bitter Springs. The amenities were beautiful and clean and we loved the additional experiences on offer- from patting the pet cattle and Buffalo, witnessing the snake and reptile handling ( we loved watching all the children enjoying themselves) and sitting around the campfire with Billy tea (Johnny cakes too!) We were also lucky enough to be there on curry night and the food was incredible!

Well we enjoyed a couple of days at Little Roper Camp Stay in Mataranka.Something different & really enjoyable.Des & his crew do a fantastic job keeping the kids entertained with all the farm animals & many other reptiles like Snakes, Turtles, Lizards, etc..Home style cooking is on the menu, Buffalo curries & stews, early morning Johnny Cakes with Bushman’s Tea on the billy.Open fires. Simply awesome fun.
