Wild Sleeping System
A private open-air setup with premium swag, stretcher, sleeping mat and down sleeping bag beneath the Central Australian night sky.
We base our Pmara (camp) on traditional lands at the foot of Tjoritja / West MacDonnell Ranges in the Northern Territory, bringing you a premium open-air sleeping experience. Over six unforgettable days, explore spectacular gorges and ancient waterholes, and take on remote 4WD tracks while connecting with the stories, culture and people of Western Arrarnta. Share exceptional food, gather beneath impossible night skies and experience this Country like very few travellers get the opportunity to. This is the journey you take to truly understand an ancient land and culture, support local communities and create memories that will stay with you long after you leave.

Your exclusive base on Country
Pmara Arntwere - Dingo Camp
Your exclusive camp, Pmara Arntwere, sits deep in the foothills of the traditionally owned Taarna Valley, home to the Taarna Aboriginal Collective and its wonderful on-Country art gallery.
We’re incredibly proud to support this important Aboriginal enterprise. 3% of your Lehrapinta tour fee goes directly to Taarna Valley as a donation, in addition to the standard campground fees we pay for every guest who stays here.
You can learn more about Taarna Valley and the people behind this special project on our Partners page. 🫶🏼
A camp designed to belong…
Pmara Arntwere has toilets, hot showers, solar and battery power, and a fully equipped charcoal and open-fire kitchen. The camp has been designed around outdoor functionality and keeping your environmental footprint as light as possible.
Our sleeping systems have been tested and refined over years in the Australian bush. They’re designed for exceptional comfort while still allowing you to feel completely immersed in the landscape around you.
You can choose between our Wild Sleeping System for the ultimate connection to Country and the extraordinary Central Australian night sky, or the privacy and practicality of one of our high-quality canvas tents.
Our Wild Sleeping Systems pair Alton Walkabout swags with Helinox stretchers, topped with NEMO sleeping pads and premium One Planet down sleeping bags.
Your own private sleeping space also includes a hammock, tarp, hang line, change room and your own sleep-fire, creating a little place in the valley that is entirely yours for the duration of your stay.
For guests who would rather share a tent, we provide high-quality canvas tents fitted with the same premium sleeping equipment and attention to comfort.
We deliberately choose equipment that combines exceptional performance and durability with some of the strongest environmental credentials available in the outdoor market today.

But ultimately, the gear isn’t what makes Pmara Arntwere special.
It’s the valley.
It is stunning, extraordinarily quiet and deeply significant, and it represents an important project for the future of Taarna Valley and Western Arrarnta people.
This place will change you.
Evenings and mornings are spent around the fire, watching sunsets and sunrises light up the surrounding ranges, and witnessing that famous star-filled Central Australian night sky.
There is nowhere else in the world we would rather be than right here, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
