Lonely Planet Review

This holiday park is snuggled up against the ramparts of the spectacular MacDonnell Ranges, where it claims one of the most scenic settings around Alice Springs. The range and quality of accommodation includes wheelchair accessible rooms and baby facilities, so this coupled with the professionalism of the staff, makes everyone feel welcome.

The park takes up a lot of hectares but despite its size somehow manages to nurture a peaceful, laid-back atmosphere. A similar balancing act has been achieved with the service, which is highly efficient but also sincerely friendly - this is not one of those places plastered with long lists of park rules. Distractions here include a trio of pools and a recreation room, while the free pancake cook-up every Sunday morning draws a big crowd. Accommodation choices include unpowered sites, powered sites with canvas en suites, budget cabins and 'Deluxe' villas (think large cabins with bathtubs and carports). Travellers with pets note that non-indigenous animals are not allowed here. It's also worth noting that there's a minimum two-night stay during the high season (June through July) and that extending your stay usually requires an impractical 48 hours' notice.
