Caravan Park - Alice Springs

Have stayed at most of them over the years and they all have been very good, I think it is called competition.
While you are there for the best T-Bone in Australia go to Milner's Meats and get a Texas T-Bone. Best done on a very hot grill on a campfire.

G'Day Mate were fantastic when we stayed there reasonable prices and friendly staff fantastic amenities great sites

GDay Mate was really good. Big 4 across the road is good as well but a bit more pricey. Big 4 is good if you a travelling with kids.

big 4, pancakes sunday mornings, sky chat tuesday evenings, all included

Gooday If your looking for quiet nights , 2 parks well out of the way .5ks or so on ilparpa rd Wanngari & temple bar c/ parks

We loved staying out of town at Temple Bar nine kilometres along Ilparpa Road. Nearby Wanngardi was closed at the time but reopened subsequent to our visit. Temple Bar would still be my choice, further away from the road, and against the range. Both of these have only a limited number of sites. Both allow pets.

When we were there, amenities were not brilliant but it was priced cheaply. Improvements have since been made, and price for powered site was $23 last year, with 7 days for price or 6 offer. Power is metered so you only pay for what you use; this worked out very cheap for us. Owners were great.

So for secure park (quite safe that far out of town and there are a number of permanent and semi permanent workers there so we felt part of a village with good neighbours), favourable price compared to those parks in town, and in a lovely location, Temple Bar wins the trifecta.

Hi Pandalowie,

We travel with our dogs, so we require a pet friendly park. We stayed at the Heritage Caravan Park (http://www.heritagecaravanpark.com.au/). Can't remember how much, but it was not expensive, and it was a pleasant, well shaded park.

The misses rang Big 4 a few weeks ago looking to book a overnight stop there for an upcoming trip, she was told we couldn’t book a single night stay, had to be 2 or 3 nights minimum (can’t remember which it was now) that we book for. May not effect you, but thought it worth mentioning just incase.

Is there any decent free camping just outside Alice Springs, that would be my preference, I have a roof tent so i have to pack up totally daily anyway. Michael.

Thanks everyone for the advice, we are travelling with no kids, so dont need all the bells and whistles, just something that is nice and secure. Will check out all the recommended sites. Thanks heaps !

I stayed 2 nights at G'day Mate and liked it. it's just south of town, and I thought it was quite secure.
