A popular campground with the MacDonnell Ranges as a back drop, within the West MacDonnell National Park, Northern Territory.
This is a well established and popular campground with excellent facilites (including large covered picnic tables and showers.
Although there may be drinking water available in the tanks provided (should still be treated first) you should bring your own anyway. You never know if it will have run out, and better not to put strain on the existing supply.
Keep your eye out for dingos here, they can be a nuisance when they get used to people (do not feed them).
