Great free unpowered camping spot, not sure if they charge for powers sites. Toilets available, I don’t believe there are showers. Cool emu on site too next to the beautiful grassy area on the side.

Hi Sixpence Camp, thank you for your review. Yes we do have showers available for the campground, there is no charge for the unpowered sites and a small charge for the showers. I hope you had a great time in our amazing part of the world, Central Australia.

Handy stop over on the way to/from Uluru or Kings Canyon. Not great for pitching a tent but the cabins are clean and tidy.

Question:

Do you have grassy patches for picnics ?

Answer:

Good afternoon Lulu, we are located in a very remote area, in the desert. We have grassed areas around our buldings, but all the campsites, both powered and unpowered are dirt. There are no sites that are grassed. I hope the plans for your trip are going well and if I can help with anything else, please let me know. With thanks, Lyndee by Curtin S.

Answer:

Thanks Lynden, our plans coming on great so far we definitely looking forward to our three nights with your guys. Gonna be another epic adventure for us by Lulu D.
