Hi All, the brother and I are travelling from Mackay via the
Simpson Desert to visit the MacDonnell Rangers in two weeks time. We'll be checking out Kings Canyon area and I'm looking for some info on some camping areas around there. We will be travelling in a cruiser Ute with a canopy, and we don't mind camping in the swags, just was wondering if there is any good
places to
camp at. Or are the tourists only confined to the resorts, and if so which ones are the best value. Any information would be taken on board. Thanks Ray J.

With no "free camping" close by Raymond, the options, with similar prices, are:
Kings Canyon Resort
campground is a pleasant fully serviced
campground, ideally situated to enjoy sunset
views to the George Gill Ranges. Kings Canyon Resort is owned by the international company Delaware North Companies Parks and Resorts.
Kings Creek Station offers an outback experience with rustic style of camping. Campfires are permitted. They conduct camel and quad bike safaris on the station, and a choice helicopter rides over the station, over the George Gill Ranges and Kings Canyon, or as far as other tourist attractions in the area. Profits go towards their charity "Conways Kids".
Choice according to the type of camping you prefer. Contact me by MM if you would like more details, including distances and costs, as
well as details about the Kings Canyon walks. The
rim walk was our favourite walk in Central Australia.

Hi Motherhen, Thanks for the info on Kings canyon I will
check it out on google. Kings Canyon Station looks like a good place to visit. After leaving Kings Canyon we'll be heading up to the West MacDonnalls via
Palm Valley. Thanks again Ray.J.

If you Google "Where to stay to visit Kings Canyon - Kings Canyon Resort or
Kings Creek Station?" with the quotation marks, you will find the page Raymond. If you find it, look at Q28 for the
Mereenie Loop to
Palm Valley.
Palm Valley is lovely.
