Olive Downs Campground
Last Updated Sep 2015
Comfortable campground on top of a `Jump Up` in Sturt National Park
The area around the campground is typical of this region, with red dirt and mulga trees surrounding.
There is a covered picnic area with barbecues, long drop toilets and bore water available.
Fires are not permitted so you will need to use the provided barbecues or bring your own stove.
There are two easy walks nearby that take you through this remarkable country. A 2km and a 4km loop walk. They traverse the `Jump Ups` which are the remains of ancient mountain ranges. Early morning or evening are best for a chance to see the wildlife.
There are no marked sites, and bookings can't be made.
